UPDATE!
So, I went to the doc again today.  My bite did turn into a staph infection.  Don went with me today because I felt I needed some support there 'cause I knew it was going to hurt like crazy when they pulled this gauze out.  So, Don's sitting in the corner of the exam room all nice and comfy and the doc just digs right it and starts pulling this thing out.  Talk about pain!!!  It could almost be compared to a hard contraction.  The doc and the nurse both ask me "are you ok?" or "how you doing".  The only thing I hear Don say is "holy cow!"  Apparently the gauze that was pulled out was the longest thing he had ever seen coming out of an opening so small.  Ya, no words of comfort while I was shedding a few tears and pounding the wall...he was in shock.  Hey!  Shouldn't I be the one in shock?
