[Magdalen] prayers / spider bite!

[Lynn Ronkainen]

As I type 'my friend Jim' (of the 2015 open heart surgery fame) most 
probably got bitten by a brown recluse spider earlier today on his left 
wrist, right where a watch would be located. He's been calling with hourly 
updates... size of bite (a dime), surface of skin, etc, etc... after 
internet research and calling a local emergency room for info (who would 
only talk to him, so he is calling them now, I hope). Apparently the bite 
and early stages of 'damage' are many times painless and often go unobserved 
and then things change as the venom starts to do it's skin-disintegrating 
thing...  Anyway... spider bite prayers would be appreciated until he 
figures this out (and hopefully sees a doc tomorrow). He's already 
inadvertently done several things that one is not supposed to do - vigorous 
exercise and  a lot of lifting (things that pump the poison around according 
to the internet) before he even discovered that he has 'this spot' (blue'ish 
and crusty) on his wrist.

thank you, friends
Lynn
