What an adventure! I was stung by a wasp after I posted on Friday. I really was minding my own business, and a wasp should not have been in the house. I was sweeping the floor when I felt something on the back of my neck. I brushed it away and didn't think any more of it. I have a long handled dust pan, and when I went to empty it I grabbed a different part of the handle. Apparently, the wasp followed me and landed on the handle... right where I grabbed it!
Boy, did that hurt! I put ice on it right away, and elevated my hand. I could not believe how much my finger swelled, and when the pain of the sting eased, it itched like crazy... for two days! I tried every remedy I could find. I wasn't taking any chances!
At the same time the wasp stung me, I managed to cut my pinky finger on a rough spot on the dust pan handle. I didn't even know there was a rough spot!
I did manage to sew the next two strips of my quilt together. I think I'll work on sewing the two strips of two together before moving on to the last pair.
Mom keeps saying that life is an adventure, and I think she's right!
Sorry to hear you’ve been in the wars! A wasp sting is no joke. I hope life becomes less adventurous for a while!

What a string of bad luck! Oh, I hope all of the injuries heal quickly for you.
ReplyDeleteNext time you get stung, hopefully never, grab some yarrow, chew it us and swallow a little. This will stop the swelling. Spit out the rest and put it on the sting. Put a band aid on top of the sting to keep the yarrow in place . This will instantly take the sting away.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear of your sting and slice!! Perhaps the liquid bandage would help the slice. Time to catch up on some reading!!!
