... Literally. Actually as the accompanying photo illustrates, it is likely a spider or a tick that had a nibble near my knee. The bruising around the swollen red core is especially becoming, yes? The bite came yesterday, but I wasn't overly concerned until the bruising started to show up this afternoon. Beetled on over to see Dr. J who couldn't say for certain whether it was a spider or a tick that did the dirty deed. Given my compromised health situation, he opted for an antibiotic that would work in either case (as he said, I really don't want to add Lymne Disease to my increasing list of ailments - apparently this is something he saw several times while working in South Africa). So for the next two weeks, I will be enjoying some Doxycycline. Lovely shade of blue the pills are.
