Not good hearing.

Right and again not good hearing.

Had bite several years ago on left wrist inside over veins. Not good place to get bit..

So Bob, would go see doctor tomorrow, especially seeing the bite marks, for the spider bite rots the skin and flesh badly and fast, .... and then once starting needs to be cut out and stitched shut besides decontamination.......and you certainly  don't need to lose possible sight of one eye by waiting too long....    Anyway, just my thoughts.

p.s. and yes, I still have scar on left wrist from the rotting flesh/skin having to be cut away to a clean point for stiching shut.
