    Well I'm in one of the best hospitals in Maryland so I feel pretty safe.

    Wow, glad you're ok.

    What hospital in MD are you in? I'm assuming way out Western MD if it was a rattler.

    Yep, you're in a good hospital. :)

    Sorry to hear about this. As many others have said, I hope you get back up and back out there quickly.

    Did the snake make it? I heard that Chuck Norris once was bitten by a king cobra and after three long agonizing days, the snake finally died. Did this happen in your case? ~

    I'd be right back out there on crutches trying to find it, but that's just me. :lol:

    Snakes don't bother me, but then again I've never been bitten. I can't imagine what that must feel like. I also can't imagine what it would do to me right now since I'm training for this half-marathon in December. I'm sure I'd be washed up for the year as far as running goes.

    Just held down my first meal since this happened. Swelling is going down. Using the pain meds less and should be put of the hospital tomorrow. Have to do some PT but should be up and walking in 2 weeks
