yup - they are not fun. I hate those things -

one got me between my shoulder blades IN THE HOT TUB of our home in Sedona!

They are water seekers, and he was down near the outlet I was leaning against....bam!

Called the ER, they said I could come on down if I wanted to but that they would only observe me, since there is really no treatment!

Its a neuro-toxin, and I could feel it moving around. We went out to dinner, margaritas seemed to help - but I got a numb-ish tongue...not sure if it was the Scorp or the Marg!

next day I could not put any weight on my heels - felt like a sharp tack was partially embedded there - lasted for a few more hours.

not one of my favorite creatures!

glad you are OK!
