in which I am doomed

[jinian]

The good news: I finally found some use for the evil sorbitol-pops.

The bad news: It's to ice my foot because I stepped on a bee. We also applied soda ash solution and ammonia, on the authority of Googling and half-recalled folk remedies. I didn't see any venom sac, so I hope the little bee might actually live. (I moved it to the flowerbed.) I've never been stung by a bee before, only yellowjackets. This all happened on approximately my tenth step in the lawn, of course. What will befall me next as I claw my way toward restored health? Any bets?

Oh no! Meat tenderizer is supposed to be good too. I hope you recover soon.

Meat tenderizer is the other folk remedy we could remember, but we don't have any meat tenderizer in the house...

yar! the bottom of your foot? i did that once, but it was in third grade. the things that made me happiest were benadrylbenadrylbenadryl and a rabbit fur to rub on my foot where it was swollen and hurty.

Yes, the bottom right where the toes meet the ball of the foot. It hurt! But now, maybe because it wasn't a very bad sting (the thing I thought was the stinger wasn't in the red place at all, so the stinger didn't stick) and maybe due to the healing power of habitual Allegra and handy dye mordants, it doesn't hurt at all. Yay!
