We had quite the exciting day yesterday. On Tuesday afternoon Steve had gotten stung by a stupid little yellow jacket a work- No big deal right? Well that's what we had thought. Tues. night the sting was a bit swollen but nothing more than normal, I'd say half a baseball, he took some benadryl and went to bed. Wed. he woke up to it about the size of a hot dog bun. I called the Dr and they had said really not a big deal, just take benadryl- so Steve took a double dose around 10 am. Noon: Steve came home for lunch and it had swollen almost to his elbow and up through his hand, so bad that he could not bend his wrist. Of course the whole time Steve thinks it's fine and he will just get over it w/ more benadryl. We went to urgent care and waited for 2 hours (I really dislike urgent care), I started to get a bit worried that it was taking so long as I am watching the swelling creep up past his elbow- scary huh. We finally got called back and saw the DR super fast. Poor Steve had to get a steroid shot in his butt and the doc prescribed some steroids to take for the next 5 days. As of 2:30 today the swelling has gone down a little. He is still quite funny with all the benadryl he's got pumping through his body, his hand and arm are still really swollen, but don't look like they are going to pop anymore.
After the shot :)
