Stung Again

Check this out. I was playing a little bocce ball last night preparing for tomorrow's Jeff Laird Memorial Bocce tournament when I was bitten by a wasp.

I was bending over to pick up a ball, and wham, the son of a bitch hit me like a bullet on one of my left hand knuckles.

At first I didn't think much of it, then I started to get mild itching behind the years and a weird feeling of indigestion. The same feeling I got last year when I got bitten on the foot.

Anyway, I popped an antihistamine late last night and that seemed to help, but I awoke this morning to find my left hand like that of a barehanded pugilist.

As you can see, my hand is puffed up to twice its size and goes right up my wrist.

As I speak the swelling and aching is subsiding, but admittedly I must investigate whether I've developed an allergy to wasp stings.

Thank goodness it's not my throwing hand because tomorrow I will attempt to wrestle back the bocce championship I held in 2004 and 2005.

My baby.......please see a
doctor about the bee stings.
You should have some kind of
a kit that will take away the
venom that you must be allergic to. Now you listen
to your mommy.

Remember what Uncle Doug went
through one time at Lakefield.
We had to rush him to the
Civic hospital.

Loved Mels show...

Listen to your mother Fred - you've got an allergy - that weird feeling of indigestion is a serious symptom. Get to a doctor and have him prescribe an epi-pen. It's a shot of adrenelin that will counter-act the effects of venom...

Good luck Fred...Kimber always threw a little limp wristed, so you've just evened things up!

Freddie this is why I married a French lady ( and not a WASP ). But seriously see a Dr and get an epi-pen. My daughter had a reaction while councilling at a summer camp on a canoe trip. She was very scared and now doesn'r leave home without it!!
