... About 5 hours later I looked in the mirror. There was no pain and the dark circle under my left eye had disappeared. Hmmm... interesting. This looked like I had had a botox jab and someone had forgotten to do both sides of my face. I decided against putting in my contacts and tried my glasses. Great! The lack of symmetry was hardly noticeable.
Five hours before, I had been training my dogs to stay close to my heels and had walked through the garden and under the orange tree. Suddenly, something was crawling over my face! I tried to brush it away, losing my hat in the process. The little beast got behind my glasses and I yelped in pain. Then it was all over and I realised I had been stung on my left eye-lid! I don't think it was a bee because there was no stinger left behind. I got an ice-cube on it and surveyed my face in the mirror. The pain was bad but fortunately I'm not allergic! There was some swelling and then a little numbness but no real harm done. On the plus side, I got to see what botox might do around my eyes.

Ouch! That must have been painful Mara. As you say at least you got to experience what botox can do to improve your face!
ReplyDeleteThere are always a lot of bees around so I'm lucky I'm not allergic.
DeleteOuch! Maybe it was a wasp, as they can withdraw their stinger afterwards. Love your sense of humour. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's easy to keep smiling when damage is minimal.
DeleteOuch, it is amazing what damage such a little bug can do, I hope you recover soon.
ReplyDeleteIt was nothing really.
