So how did I get here? About 10 years ago I got bit by a spider in my sleep. I’m thinking brown recluse because of the way it spread and the final damage it did. 

Being that I’m a redneck and hate hospitals, I had my girlfriend at time, also redneck, cut out the core then I showered bandaged it and went to work. 

A month passed the now ex is gone and I have a nice scab over the hole. At least I thought it was until I bumped in the shower and it fell off and puss ran out. 

I go to my Dr who sends me to a specialist. The surgeon orders pressure bandages so I to see a nurse three times a week. 

Wound keeps draining till I end up on bed rest and skin graphs this took over a year a left me weak. I worked my way up to a cane before my wife and I got married. 

I got so depressed about my inability to really take care of myself that I ended up spending a week in a psychiatric hospital. 

After about six months of being married I dislocated my right knee and I managed to pop it back in, but I think I gave up. I was so tired of my body betraying me that it was a downhill slide. 

Fast forward to this year and I realize if I don’t fight and get back up, I’ll die in this bed. That was unacceptable to me. So I called my doctor to get help moving again.

Today I fought through my workout. My knee is swollen and painful, but I worked out. 

We just did intake today, my provider starts tomorrow.
