Life is better at the beach! I must have seen that saying hundreds of times last week. We had a blast at the OBX. I told Tom it is a shame to have lived that close and not have visited before now.
Our vacation started out very exciting - Wooten spotted a bear walking towards the highway. Tom immediately pulled over for me to get some pics. Well those pics are worth about $108. Why $108? $100 for the emergency room visit and $8 for the prescription. No, I wasn't attacked by the bear. I was attacked (okay not really attacked but bitten) by some flying thingy (I didn't actually see it). It bit me on my left hand on the pinkie. The initial itch quickly turned into my pinkie, ring finger, middle finger and hand swelling (I wish I had gotten a pic of that). Tom said, "Too bad it didn't sting you in the boobs". Now that is compassion!
As the night went on the swelling continued up my arm. Tom and I headed to the ER at 10:00. Boy did we have God’s favor. The people there were extremely nice and helpful. We were out of there right at 11:00. How’s that for service? The doc said it was just an allergic reaction to the bug sting. They gave me prednisolone (steroid) and Benadryl. Then a steroid pack to take for the next few days. What a way to start the vacation. You know me – I was in there praying and declaring healing in the entire hospital. God had me there for some reason.
