It hurt a little but nothing more than a bee sting so I continued to walk the job and went home. By the time I got home I had already forgot about it , ate a gumbo quesadilla ( btw it was tha shiznit) and took a nap on the couch. Man when I woke up my ankle was kinda black n blue and hurt like a SOB so I got up and could not walk it felt like my foot was on fire! Normally you have to put a gun to my head to go to the doctor but this really hurt so my gf convinced me to go to the hospital. 2 hrs later some X-rays they couldn't figure it out so I started to google palm tree injuries lol on my iPhone and found that sone really serious infections can happen . They gave me some pain meds. Cleaned it up , pumped me full of antibiotics and put me in a friggin 1/2 cast n crutches! I have to go back tomorrow n have em look again  |
Had one bite my achilles right above my heel....horrible lingering pain!! Took almost 2 weeks to stop being sore!! Take care of and keep it clean. Hope your luck on pain time frame is shorter than mine was!!!
