I got stung by a bee on my foot during the weekend and it HURTS!!! we went to a family party at the park, and lo and behold as I walk back from the restroom, a sudden pinch on my toe, enough to stop me in my tracks. As I look at the injured area I notice the stinger still hanging from my toe, with some white looking juice still coming out of it. I yanked it out and hurried to walk towards the party.....in the worst of pains. Luckily I had a first aid kit in the car and was able to put some neosporine pain reliever on it and a band aid, which helped at the moment. But by that evening, my foot had started to swell up and felt even more painful than the initial pain. Long story short, next day, Sunday, was a nightmare with my foot swollen and in much pain, yet it didn't stop me from going to Macy's to get some of the deals they had going for 3 days, last day being Sunday. I got a nice pot for stews and soups (Cuisinart) for only $20. We also got a very nice coffee maker, grinder already built in for only $40. So the deals were a good thing, but the foot was not. We had yet another party to attend that Sunday, yes again at the park, call us crazy....that's our family. So there I sat for a few hours at the party with my foot up on a chair, icing the foot and keeping my spirits up. I would've stayed home, but I figured I'd be alone doing the same thing with my foot, keeping it elevated and iced, so why not do it surrounded by the people I enjoy, Family. But today MONDAY I call it quits on the sitting around waiting for the swelling to disappear. I've called the doctor and they will see me by 11:30. I had a horrible thought last night, I literally thought my circulation is going to heck and I would end up with a stump for a foot, that is enough to make you want to go to the doctor ASAP. So that is what I am doing......by the way, gotta go, don't want to be late. So the bad thing was the bee sting, the good thing was the deals at Macy's. Gotta look at the bright side...........Always!!
