Red wasp sting.

[rwork]

Those very words are terrifying. Over the weekend I was repairing an old cellar door and I was stung twice on my side. I went on working for a few more minutes beating some old rotten boards out and I was stung twice on the soft part of my upper lip. I finally found the nest hidden close to where I was working. I finished them off with some wasp- hornet spray. By the time I went to show my wife, she gasped in horror at the swelling that had taken place. She fixed an ice pack for me and ran a whirlpool tub for me. In the tub the pain was intense for about 10 minutes. After I got out of tub and looked in mirror I ciuld'nt help but laugh out loud at my swollen face. Going down the hallway I met my wife coming to meet me and she laughed out loud at my appearance. I told her to go ahead and get it out of her system which made her laugh harder. She told me later that she was laughing more at something I had said, which was, honey you will have bring a gunny sack to be able to go to bed with me. I can laugh about the experience now, but it "was" pretty scary. Anyone else have have similar stories?
