Bee stings

A little while ago I got stung by a bee. I know this probably isn't blog worthy but it was my very first bee sting. It was on the bottom of my foot and it hurt like crazy. It swelled up and was painful for a few days afterward. See how in this picture my foot is all wrinkly? My foot is of course not the prettiest thing in the world but typically it is not this way. It looks like somebody shoved a bunch of cotton in there. Well I lived and I found out that I am not allergic to bees which of course is a plus since I am allergic to other stuff. Anyway this was about three or four weeks ago and I still have a little bump on the bottom of my foot that is tender. I didn't use to be very afraid of bees but now I am a little paranoid. At least my consolation was that the bee kicked the bucket. Sorta wicked to say that but that stinking stinger hurt!

Ouch, I could tell your foot was swolen but I didn't see the bump. Is it visible in the picture.

Ouchie! I hope the residual bump goes away soon! What a rude bee!
