At the beginning of last week, I got stung by a wasp or some other such nastified insect. ON MY FOREHEAD. It hurt and I assure you that I cried. I cried more when I saw my forehead in the mirror as it swelled up to a huge goose egg. Ridiculous.
Fast forward for the next 5 days, me icing and taking Benadryl. Each day the swelling went down, but it was still not cute.
Saturday, I finally extracted the stinger. The relief was amazing. Today, it's almost completely flat, yet still pink and angry looking.
I met Coach at the door (I always do) when he got home tonight with a kiss.
The first words out of his mouth:
"You still look like you got punched in the face."
Delightful honey. Now I'd like to punch HIM in the face.

You had the stinger in your forehead that long? OUCH!
I can't imagine how extremely painful that must have been. I'm glad you got the stinger out, and I hope you feel better soon.
Ouch! How painful! Glad it is getting better!
nice... men. that is so something my husband would say.
OMG... the stinger was in your head for FIVE DAYS?!?!?!?!
The irony is that if a man had a stinger in his forehead for any amount of time, we would never hear the end of it. You are a trooper!
So...umm...we all want to know the story on the stinger remaining in your forehead for nearly a week! More blog fodder CG!
OMG! I'm so sorry! Glad you are feeling better!
