Sorry to hear your in such a bad way. I know there is nothing anyone can do for the pain and suffering you are going thru. Just know the you have our best wishes and support. You got a lot closer to that snake than I ever want to be. The closest I have been to a snake lately was when I ran over a cottonmouth with my truck in the driveway. I think I hit it with the lawn mower first and then it crawled up onto the driveway. I hope your snake met the same demise that the one I killed did. ...........................BURN PILE!!! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Denis" <coocoo@xxxxxxx> To: "Barb Zimmerer" <wayout@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Volksmeisters@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, jurisdrs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx, "Dave Heilemann" <dheilema@xxxxxxxxx>, "Dave Heilemann" <dave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, "Claudette" <claudettetripp@xxxxxxx>, tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, May 29, 2009 1:01:42 PM GMT -06:00 US/Canada Central Subject: [tcb] How are you? My foot and leg look like a ham. It hurts up into my groin. I got a Tetanus shot, a steroid shot, a blood test, Percocet and Amoxillin. I itch all over. Jan took me back to the Emergency room this morning because I was sure that with all the swelling that they were going to amputate my leg, but they said it looked pretty good! When I sit or lie down (and with the Percocet that's about all you can do) and then get up, stuff changes in my leg and it hurts like you just can't believe. Mostly I just want to sleep. The thing I'm really pissed off about is that I had a Bobcat reserved for the weekend and was going to do landscaping and road repair. Now I know that if I tried, it would be the next chapter of Denis running the tractor in to his burning bus, in an ice storm, through a tree and off of his cliff with a snakebite on his foot and a wasp bite on his head. My sister says all this stuff happens because I "revel in chaos". I don't know how to take that... Thanks for asking. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Barb Zimmerer" <wayout@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Denis & Jan Dodson" <coocoo@xxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, May 29, 2009 11:32 AM Subject: How are you? > Hi Denis, just wanted to let you know we're thinking of you!!!!!
