Snake bites dead dad

[bguttie]

First let me start with a little history. My father passed away in 2002. He was diabetic and was on kidney dialisys. He had to have his right leg amputated just above the knee the month prior to his passing. He had a massive stroke and the doctors took him off his meds and dialisys and gave him a week to live. Three days later he passed away. Thanks for any help that I recieve on this matter.

My father and I are in my yard and he has just told me that he has been bitten by a snake around the foot, ankle or lower leg area (this leg had been amputated shortly before his passing). Since there had been gray rat snakes seen on the property in the past, I assumed that is what bit him. My granddaughter had asked me what happened to him and I reassured her he would be OK since the snake was non poisonous. My father then told me that he had been bit by a Copperhead and not the other kind. As he was walking around I would tell him to be still so the poison would not get to his heart as quick. At the same time I told my granddaughter to call 911. Then I went to make sure she was ok since she is only 6. We were in the house and looked out the window, the Copperhead was lying next to the house under the window. At this point the Snake is huge I mean really huge Anaconda huge. Big enough to eat my granddaughter huge. It does not move just lays there. Then the dream ends. The bite one my dads leg is from a normal size snake. So why does the snake become more human sized?
