A couple moves from the big city to the countryside and starts a small farm...wait, you've heard this premise before? What? Trite? Hackneyed? But, I have goats. Really cute pictures of tiny baby goats. And cheesemaking recipes. We slaughter our own pigs and cure our own bacon! Well, that's in the master plan, anyway. Just read it, you'll see.

NOT Better the Second Day
Okay, so apparently I have a delayed reaction to bee-stings. It doesn't hurt but my wrist is swollen up like an inner tube and ITCHES constantly, and badly enough to drive me right out of my tiny little mind.
I have friends that are bee keepers and one of them told me the more times he got stung, the less pain and swelling he got. Now he say that he gets no reaction at all when he gets stung. I hope it will be the same for you. Kelly
Too bad you didn't get stung in the knees, you could test that idea of it being good for your joints. I'm so curious, not curious enough to want to get stung though. And yes, thank god for benedryl, that and ibuprofen. I would give up ALL other modern conveniences before those two.
aren't there people out there who actually get themselves stung to relieve joint pain and arthritis?
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better by now.

It's true this one was less than the first one but this bee didn't get as much venom in me so can't really compare.
