Bee Stings
My mom and I were over at my grandmother's to help her hedge some of her bushes. I started shaping this bush into a nice round shape. Suddenly I felt a sharp sting on my hand and knew immediately that I had been stung on my hand. Mom and I ran inside the house and found a cotton ball and put vinegar onto the sting. It helped and the burning feeling went away. We then went back outside again and Mom picked up the hedger and started cutting. All of a sudden there were lots of small, black and white bees swarming her head. She was stung on her lip and a couple stings above her eye. So, again we ran inside, grabbed the vinegar and put it on her face. Above is the picture of her face a day after it happened and below is a photo of my hand.
My hand continued to swell a little more than this picture shows. I can't believe how hard it is to do any little ol' thing around the house. But I'm grateful that it only swelled that much. I was stung 13 years ago on the same hand and the swelling was up all the fingers and up my arm to my elbow. I knew I had an allergy to bee stings but this is so much better than last time.

That doesn't look a thing like your hand. Ooooh boy! I hope the swelling goes down soon.
Your poor mom! We should get a picture of your mom and my mom next to each other and make up some story about them holding a charity boxing match... :o) Hope your hand is doing better.
