Got to love getting Stung

Yesterday I was on my way to workout at Curves. I decided to get the mail that was on top of the mail box and when I reached it knocked off the dvd's. Thats when a bee/wasp/hornet whatever it was flew in my car and inside my mouth. When I got it out my mouth I sped off and went back to get the mail. Each of the 3 times I went back to get the mail there were 6 or so flying after me. I got in my car and slamed it in reverse and then threw it into 1st and head up the driveway to get ice. I kept saying ouch my mouth this hurts. I grabed some ice and headed to Curves to workout. My aunt was wondering where I was cause she had been waiting there for me for like 20mins. In the 10mins it took me from getting ice to going to Curves my lip swelled up real quick. My aunts a nurse and figure I should go to the ER. I went to Patient First instead. The stupid boy at the desk didn't wrap my ice so I could of got freezer burn which I didn't. I eneded up gettin a shot of benedryl in my left arm and the dr there asked about a tenus shot so I got one of those in the same arm as the other. Then the dr asked me how are your sugars? I said good. He was like how good. I said my last A1C 5.7 and then he was just like wow!!!! I said its cause I been pumping.

I had an angelina jolie/ melane grifth lips lmao and people pay to have there lips that big.

I got a tetnus shot yesterday, today my arm hurts so bad! So look for it to start tomorrow. Bees can be viscious, I am glad you were not stung more....but in the mouth! You poor kid!

That's awful. I hope you're feeling better. I've never been stung in the mouth but I think Brandy was once. She was a kitten and was chasing a wasp and the thing stung her. I was so worried about her with the swelling, but I'm happy to say she survived. Yellow jackets are really bad. Once, I saw Skeeter (he was here during Brandy's first two years) being stung by what I thought was a wasp so I went after it to get it off of him. Then I see this large swarm after him and me. I looked down at my feet where there were a bunch of them and I see I'm standing right beside the entrance to their nest. I grabbed Skeeter, ran like crazy, and got them off of us although we were both stung multiple times. Hope his fur gave him some protection. Mine did not (don't seem to have as much as the cats).
