ever been so scared

[jipped genes]

TweetI was sitting drinking my coffee, it was early. I hear "OH GOD NOOOOOOO!" screams tear the silent morning air. Adrenaline fills my veins as I go into fight mode. I jump up from the table and run. the screams are coming from our bedroom.

I hit the door running and do not get the knob turned. the striker plate and part of the door jam go flying.

I access the situation, wife is not there. to the bathroom I sprint! the screams are blood curdling I hear crying. there is a slight sense of pain in my foot as I run to the bathroom.

My wife is cornered in the shower.............by a damn spider.

YES folks a spider. evidently it climbed her leg to keep from drowning. this is when I look down and see blood. my pinkie toe on my right foot has something on it and it bleeding. the thing on it is my toenail which was only held on by a tiny piece of cuticle.

I was relived, mad, and that is when my toe started hurting.

I caught the spider and let it go (good karma) now I am Limpy McJipped. oh it hurts so bad to wear shoes.

how long will this hurt? until a nail grows back? It will grow back right?

here is the spider, about the size of a $.50 coin, What kind is it?

oh, I saved my wife from this beast at great physical peril and cost and did not even get any hero's "thank you"!
