What began as a....
typical Saturday night of pizza, wine, and great conversation with Christie and Bridget, turned into something much more exciting. As the clock approach midnight, I was thinking about calling it a night, when Steve, Bridget’s brother, came home after the boxing match. He was acting a little suspicious as he walked in the door, gave a quick hello, and headed to the back room. Soon thereafter, he called for Bridget to look at something. Christie and I were very bewildered and obviously a little curious. We soon heard the words “Steve, that’s not right, we are going to the emergency room.” Needless to say, Christie and I bolted out of our comfy chairs to see what was causing this drama (and let me tell you…there was a lot of drama!) Steve’s elbow was about 3 times the size as it should be and was in a significant amount of pain. He thought maybe he was having an allergic reaction to a spider bite and maybe cause by a fall he had during a basketball game the prior day. Bridget called a nurse hotline where we found out it could be staph infection and should probably take him to the ER. So, we packed some snacks and all four of us piled into the car.

After about two and a half hours in the emergency room, we learned that Steve was not going to turn into Spiderman, but simply that he had a skin infection and needs to be on some painkillers and antibiotics for the next couple of days. What an interesting Saturday night!!
