Hi all
Latest update. Hospital happy with progress so no need for a skin graft thank god. He still has the shooting pains down the leg and into the foot. But walking better although can't stand still for more than a few minutes. Been 4 weeks now since the accident. He got to go back in 2weeks time and keep changing the dressing every other day between now and then. Still unable to go back to work yet.

So far so good Jim, sounds like he will be fine, these things take time.

All the best to him, keep us all posted with his progress.

Here are some pics of the wound.

This was 7 days after the accident.

19 days after, now looking worse before getting any better. The venom is still coming out of the wound now the stitches are out.

4 weeks later. Looking better but still swollen and he still has shooting pains down his leg and into the foot. Unable to stand for more than a few minutes and can't walk very far on it. Still unable to return to work.
