I hope you are feeling better

Thanks for the sympathy you guys!
The swelling has gone down quite a lot but it's still feeling sore, kinda like a bruise.

I'm SUCH a big wimp!

For those curious, here's my forearms. I made DH take a picture of them just a few minutes ago.

I said earlier I sure hope the pups never get bit by one of these nasty things.

Now you see why.

You sound allergic to it... try putting ice on it and some cortisone crème, along with Benadryl. Hope it feels better soon.

I would go to the doctor after seeing that picture.
My daughter got stung by a wasp in the hand once and her whole hand swelled up and the swelling went up her arm and I took her to the doctor and they gave her a shot of a steroid and put her arm in a sling bc they said that her arm had to be above her heart so that the poison did not go to her heart.
Sending prayers that everything is ok.
