Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound |
Woke up, got out of bed, dragged a comb across my head...
I had my shower got out and got stung by a wasp. 
I have a very throbby and rigid digit now. It still stings too.
Wasp sting remedies please along with worse starts to the day to cheer me up.
I hope today gets better.  |

"Ouch poor you applying vinegar is supposed to draw the toxins out x
Will balsamic work?"

Try to keep calm...
Vinegar...
Keep the sting lower than heart level, if possible...
Cold water soak, or an ice pack (with a cloth down first, to prevent ice burns..)
Watch out for anaphylaxis, shock...
Keep your phone ready to call 112 / 999
The last two will probably not happen, but it doesn't hurt to be prepared.. |

No anaphylaxis and the balsamic vinegar seems to have helped.

"What I want to know is did you kill that pesky fooooooooooooking wasp???  "
Yes, as it stung me my reflexes kicked in and it got squooshed!
Now throbbing with anger as the rest of my morning just got worse and I am now sitting in a national tyre place waiting to replace the front right tyre.
On the upside, the sun is warm and the sky is clear.

"Ouchie!!!
Glad you got it sorted x
I don't know where the wasp came from. I hope it isn't a nest in my loft. I will be at their mercy when I'm on the toilet or in the shower.

Take a rolled up newspaper or one of those electric swatting things that looks like a badminton racquet with you to the bathroom... (Poss not the electric one in the shower....oh and the paper will get all soggy...clearly I need to rethink this!) |

No and the worst part appears to be that the swelling on the finger and throbbing has ended but every once in a while I get a sharp sting in the same spot. The prick that keeps giving.

I got stung last year on the end of my willie.........
Ran into outpatients and slapped it on the desk in front of the young lady doctor....
She asked me what I wanted her to do.....
So I said
Take the pain away but leave the swelling as it is!!!!  |

"Woke up, got out of bed, dragged a comb across my head...
You sound like Jack Charlton and his combover.. "
I should have used the correct lyric. Please replace "got" with "fell". |

Its to be expected as its a complete new knee only 3 weeks old "
Don't break it. Try the FitFlops when you're up to it. My arthritic knees are so much happier since I started wearing them.
