The Bee Sting

Today had an interesting turn of events..... We ended up staying about 2 hours from our plan "A" destination.

We stopped for lunch in East Hampton, Connecticut, right next to a su-weet pink ice cream house with a pond. As I was eating positively the best toasted coconut ice cream cone I had ever had in my entire life, a bee or hornet snuck up and stung my sticky hand.  It hurt hurt like frog squat, yikes,  and I shouted "sakamoto" and flung my cone across the lawn.

Ya know, I've never had an allergic reaction to a bee sting....until today.

It wasn't too long before I was itching, and hives were erupting. We all went back to Maxine, I popped two benadryl, put my hand on ice,  and decided to lay down for a bit. We got underway for the final leg of our journey.

We weren't driving 3 minutes before my ear and face began to swell.......and I thought, this is not good.  Immediately I told our fabulous driver & navigator that I needed to see a Doctor.  As God would have it, at the moment I spoke, there was an Emergency Medical Center right across the street.  Derek zipped in. Keith and I went in---- and within moments of my feet stepping through their front door  I was hooked up to an IV and getting lots of attention.  

While I was resting and getting my bee-allergy-reaction-meds-IV-drip, Keith sat with me, & Derek and Abby and kiddos and dogs went to find a campsite ~~ we decided this was indeed a nice place to stay for the night.  Not plan "A" but a good plan "Bee". (ha ha)  Two hours later, all was well and I was back to "normal" (whatever that is).

So thankful to God for His provision today. I mean, how amazing is that?? to have exactly what we needed at exactly the right moment.  Oh, &so  thankful my icecream cone was not completely smushed when I flung it.

Thankful ~~Diane

 P.S. Happy 37th Anniversary  to my sweetie, and thanks for holdin' my hand one more time :-)  It was quite a memorable day....
