My Lymphangitis & Septicemia scare

I woke up this morning with what I could only assume was some sort of bite. It hurt pretty bad, but I just figured it was just a normal bite. Anyway, I was looking at it about an hour later and a red line started coming from it. I just decided to watch it, and it got all red and started to welt. The line was first headed for my heart, so I figured it had to be Septicemia (or blood poisoning) and I freaked, but then the line turned sharply and went under my arm, which they said is lymphangitis.. (the infection got into the lymph nodes) I still don't' know what my cut was from, but I got some antibiotic ointment for it, and I am going to start taking antibiotics, and it has started to fade now... :) Yay! I still am going to watch it for a while though.
It was strange, because Blake got a bite (or whatever it is) on his leg the other night too. It hasn't started to form any lines, but whatever bit us was a nasty little thing. I am just glad that it didn't get Grace as well.

Update: Okay, so I totally just logged onto my blog and saw the picture I put up of the line. I am so embarrassed! It is a horrible picture and It looks like I have a double chin or something! Goodness! :D Hehehe.
