So it happened.
I was stung.
hard.
it hurt so bad.
it's sort of my fault but still, did the hornet really need to sting me, on my neck of all places!?
I was closing up the shed tonight and slammed the door a little hard.  This must have startled the hornets and one flew down from the nest and got me in the neck.  At first, I could hardly walk.  I got up to the deck and rushed past Mark.  I needed to get into the house.  I could feel the stinger, or so I thought.  I was sure that it was sticking out of my neck.
I got into the bathroom and couldn't see anything.  My neck was sore though and I had a burning sharp pain where I'd been stung.  I could feel my neck and jaw getting stiff and I had a sudden vision of me sitting in emerge tonight.  Fortunately, the numbness went away and eventually, the stinging stopped.
I have big red swollen spot at the moment but it's not sore.  Guess we'll need to deal with the nest.  That was a little too close for comfort.
