Lovely Creatures

We have a chicken that turned into a boy over night and he got out and went to our neighbor's house and was crowing, he was looking like he was going to attack me by the way he was walking so I was getting alittle afraid to pick him up. I corralled him in our yard and finally picked him up, he just likes to fluff up his feathers...and scare me...but on the way picking him up he scratched me on my arm. I put him in the shed with the ladies and gave them all water and tried to fix the tarp so they wouldn't get out anymore and by doing so my hand really felt hot like I burned it on the hot fence and jerked my hand up but then I noticed a wasp flying away and by jerking fast I moved another wasp under my arm and it stung me there. The hotness from the fence was a wasp. So I got stung on the top of my hand and under my arm. But I'm a strong pioneer, I went inside and put a baking soda paste on my injuries and went back out and fixed the tarp. I grabbed it where there were no wasps and low and behold there was a wasp underneath it and it stung me on my thumb. I fixed the tarp and went inside..

This was the first sting on my hand right on my third knuckle. This is what it looked like about an hour after the sting. It's about an inch.
It's quite amazing what the body does. This is a rash that started at the insides of both wrists, inside both elbows, and on my legs, my neck and head.This is the welt that started on the inside of my arm. Just about 2 inches. This is the reaction right around the sting on my arm. It started like a big welt that grew by having bumps go outward and then the large welt would emcompass the smaller bumps. By the end of the night the welt was from my elbow to my armpit. About 12 inches.


This is at the end of the night. I took 3 benadryl and slept most of the afternoon and evening. Amazingly I slept through the night too even after having all that sleep. You can kinda tell my right thumb is swollen in this photo.Comparison of both thumbs. If you can't tell, it's the thumb on the left, my right thumb that is swollen. This was not a major sting. This is my arm at the end of the night. The swelling is going past my elbow and up my arm. My whole arm is achy.

Thanks for tuning in...
