Stung

SOOoooo that happened. Most of you have heard about it by now, but for those who haven't. I steeped on a bee shooing a dog away from Ginka. I watched its guts fall out as I limped back into the house. Cecilia thought the whole thing was HIGH-larious. I however, did not.

Apparently I am more allergic to bees now than when I was a kid. I had a whole body reaction about 12 hours after I stepped on it. Fever, nauseated, swollen lymph nodes all over,  it was awful. So I took some benedryl in the morning, and promptly fell asleep for the whole day. Harvey got to watch wall-e twice! He was ecstatic. 

Then my foot was crazy swollen for the next 3 days. Yeay for not fitting in shoes! I find it interesting that the consequences of stepping on a bee make it more likely that I could step on one again. Anyways, The swelling went away and life moved on and now I know to take antihistamines right after stepping on a bee.
