Whoa!!!

Ok!! This is how it happened.. Superman and Crash had gone 'a-huntin' and left me and Monkey boy at home.. So, Friday night Monkey boy gets to have a visit with the Nonie and Papa and I get to go to the movies with 2 of my FAVORITE peeps and 1 new peep (who really doesn't know what to think of me just yet..). We went to see New Moon, the 2nd installment of the Twilight series and it was so good!! Me and Fave peep 'V' started with popcorn, nachos, and chocolate .. Nachos were gone before the commercials had even started and we'd taken our first potty break, so we were all good!! We talked 'new peep' into taking a picture of us before the movie started so we could have a reminder of our night out.(it was my birthday). As we looked at the picture on my 'berry, we noticed the "creeper" sitting behind us picking his nose and looking all creepy.. ick!!! Now, New Moon has started and as we are getting into the movie, "creeper" began having trouble opening his box of goodies and I swear it took his 5 minutes to figure it out!! I thought Fave peep 'L' was going to take it away from him and open it for him!! I had such a fun time!! I don't get out much, usually.. Got home that night with Monkey boy in tow and we settled in for the night..slept good until Monkey boys has a bad dream and seeks shelter in my big bed.. was soooo looking forward to sleeping in the middle of the bed..hmmm.. oh well, who needs sleep anyway.. Saturday~ Had a jewelry party for a friend who is just starting out and my turnout was minimal and pitiful but we had a good time.. After the party, we (me,monkey boy and Fave peep "S" headed to do a bit of shopping in a town about 30 minutes away and as we were on our journey-a deer decided to end his life under my truck!! EEEK!! I know!! I really wish he could have picked another venue, but life is going to happen regardless of if you are ready or not.. Now please pay attention to this next bit, it can get confusing fast!! I will have to use names, but they are not the actual names of the people involved.. nevermind, if I try to change the names, I will end up confusing myself.. So, pull up your panties and lets get this horse runnin' I hit the deer, and Steph says,"We need to turn around and go back and we need to call somebody.." I said "Who?" (because my somebody is gone a-huntin) Steph's brother happens to be a DPS officer so she calls him and I call the Nonie and Papa to come and tell me what to do..(Why is it that I have to pee at this very moment???) DPS Clyde calls in and has DPS Paul come to our service..I call Superman and tell him about my delimma and he calls Justin.. Justin calls me after he called Jerry and Burl.. Justin works with Superman and Super knew Justin could help, (he was not hunting and at home) Jerry has a wrecker service in our town and Burl has the BEST bodyshop in the area.. So, now.. Justin calls me, after he called Jerry and Burl, to let me know he has called them and all I have to do is wait for Jerry to show up and tow away my truck..(I still have to pee) in the mean time the Nonie and Papa have showed up and are looking at the damage to my truck and the deer.. I've already looked at the front of my truck and liquid is spewing out of the grill area..(Makes me have to go even more!) When Monkey boy sees the Papa walking to the deer, he starts saying,"I want to see the blood!!" So the Papa and Monkey boy go take a gander at the deer and Monkey boy comes back all disappointed because there was no blood... Lip pooched out and all... About this time DPS Paul rolls up and asked Steph if she was the sister because apparently there was another deer hitting on the other end of this road.. and he wanted to be sure he was at the right one..hmmm.. He looks at the damage on both the truck and deer and tells me I should have tried a gun first..HA...HA. (Please don't make me laugh.. I have to pee!!) He also told me that I hit the deer so hard that the impact knocked the antlers completely off!!! (This guy thinks he is a comedian) What he didn't know was that the Papa had removed only 1 side of the antlers.. I only knocked off 1 side..guess the joke was on him!! We make small talk forEVER (I still need to go..and I began to wonder if it was against the law to cop a squat behind the DPS cruiser) After we have cleaned out the truck, I tend to think I live in my truck so it was no small task to clean it out..FINALLY Jerry's Wrecker shows up and hauls my poor Tahoe onto the back of his truck.. Monkey Boy is completely enamored with this biggo' truck!!! DPS Paul tells us we are free to leave and to be safe!! So we pile into the Papa's Ram and head to the house.. (still have to pee!!) He abides by DPS Paul's instruction on being safe and proceeds to drive UNDER the speed limit and takes the LONGEST way to my house!!! I'm pretty sure by this time my eyeball are floating, I have to go soooo bad!!! On our way home, Monkey Boy leans over to me and asks why are we in the Papa's truck and where is our truck and who was the cop and where did the big truck take our truck on it's back??? AND with lip pooched out yet again, he says," I miss our truck!" it has literally been 15 minutes!!! So I try to tell him the condensed version of our night.. I take a HUGE deep breath and this is what I told him: We hit the deer. Steph called Clyde and I called the Nonie and Papa and then I called Superman who then called Justin who called Jerry and Burl. Steph called Clyde who then called Paul. Then Justin called me and Clyde called Steph and the Nonie called me and I called Superman. Then Justin called me again and Steph called Wes.. Then I called Superman back and Steph told Wes not to come because Justin had called Jerry and Clyde had called Paul...Paul called Jerry to see when he was coming and then Superman called to tell me that Justin was going to call Jerry and Burl and Clyde called Steph to see if Paul showed up.. Steph had the good sense (and maybe a hunger pang or two) to call Wes and Wes called Pizza Hut and we finally got home so I could pee and then Wes showed up with pizza and we ate and life was good!! Are you confused yet???

Ok, so yesterday after showing friends my ginormous bee sting, they decided it was obvious that I need medical attention.. I reluctantly agreed and, after I'd gone and gotten my morning sweet tea, made an appointment. My appointment was in the afternoon so I vegged in front of the tv and got caught up on 'The Vampire Diaries'. I really like that show even if it is a tad predictable..it was enough to take my mind off of my leg, so there! Anyway, I get to the Dr's office and the nurse who takes me into the room takes one look at my leg and asked the stupidest question ever!!! and I am quoting her " Wow! Are you allergic to bees??" I replied with, " Ummm, looks that way.." She then checks my vitals and says," He (the P.A.- not the Dr.) will be in, in a minute." I nod and she goes away..I wait for 10-15 minutes and then P.A. comes in and wants to see my sting.. He takes a look and asked me the stupidest question ever, again!! "So, are you allergic to bees??" and once again I replied with," Ummm, looks that way.." Then he says, " Well, you are having a very bad allergic reaction." He asks if I'd ever been stung before and I said yes, but without a reaction like this.. and he then says, " Hmmmm.." I then tell him about my headache and the chills I'd had off and on all day.., he has no reaction to this new information.. (Now I'm getting a tad miffed at him for his lack of interest in my sting.) He proceeds to tell me what my options are in treating my sting.. #1. He can give me Prednisone tablets to take or #2. I can have a Cortisone shot #3. He can prescribe some Cortisone cream for the itching.. I am not afraid of the needle, so I opt for the shot ( he says it miiiight work a little bit quicker than the oral medicine.) and he give me a prescription for the cream.. Wonderful news!! The shot really hurt and the nurse said it was because of how thick the medicine is, I'm a big girl and don't cry but I think I did say an ugly word..Now my arm AND my leg both hurt!! When I finally get my cream home and I read the direstions, it can only be used 2x a day!!! What good does that do??? I read the warnings on the cream lable and it says: if you notice any redness, itching, or swelling, to discontinue use... hmmm, how am I supposed to know if I'm having redness, itching or swelling from the cream when I'm ALREADY experiencing these symptoms from the sting???? UGH!!! So, I tried the cream one time and I couldn't tell if I was having an allergic reaction to the cream or not.. so I discontinued use and used what I know. I took Benadryl, and slathered on my First Aid Cream and Fluid Reduction gel and took an Advil and waited to see what would happen next... The itching finally subsided enough for me to sleep, but I woke up every hour to make a pit stop and spray First Aid Spray on my sting..First Aid Spray is not near as sticky as the cream and therefore I didn't stick to the sheets.. Needless to say, when "Superman's" ( my husband, he's got a tatoo of Superman's 'S' on his arm) alarm went off I was not ready to get up, but I was curious to really look at my leg..So as I lumbered down the hall to my bathroom, I noticed it wasn't hurting to walk..(this is a good sign). I propped my leg up on the vanity and took a gander..it was not as red, or swollen and tight as it was last night!! BUT, now it's turning a purplish, pinkish, blueish bruise!! I'm thinking that's a good thing..Still itching, but not painful today.. Yea! ME! After talking with my Superman and my un-biological sister, I've decided it may be time to find a different Dr...

Ready?...JUMP!! My very first blog of any kind.. EVER!! Not really sure what to say, but my leg is really starting to itch.. I got stung by a bee yesterday at a baseball tournament and the sting 'site' has gradually gotten bigger. The bee flew up my knee length shorts and when I tried to stop it, it stung me on my inner thigh. Yes, it hurt and I did say an ugly word. Yes, there were more that likely children around, but at the time, I really didn't care who heard what..I just wanted to make sure that bee was out of my shorts!!! It was and I can proudly say that I got that bugger and it is no longer alive..(Somebody told me that after they sting, they die.. But I wanted to be certain that this one did). I watched the sting site grow from the size of a mosquito bite to the size of a golf ball throughout the day. When we got home (which was about 6 hours later) I took a gander at my leg and to my dismay it was now the size of a grapefruit!!! Soooo, I put my 'voodoo' oils on the sting as soon as I got home and took 2 benadryl and an advil and layed on the couch and watched t.v. This morning when I woke up it was the size of my hand and beginning to itch..so I took a picture and sent it to some friends and everyone seem to think I need medical attention...I have made an appointment for this afternoon and I know all they will do is give me a steroid shot that won't help because I've waited too long to see the Dr.. ugh!! But, if I don't go my friends will think I don't value their opinions, so I am going to my Dr. to show them just how much I value them and their opinions.. I will keep you posted and let you know what the Dr. says and does..
