mckitterick: From a US nuclear test in the 1960s. (mushroom cloud)

I can't bring myself to post a photo of my IMMENSELY SWOLLEN LIP, because GROSS. Instead, imagine if you will this scenario and its consequences:

Yesterday, I put a BEE IN MY MOUTH. (Do I need to specify this was an accident?) It didn't like its new environment and plunged its stinger deep into the inside of my bottom lip. The little bastard was really embedded, too, so I had to force it out of my mouth using a finger.

Ever been stung? Now imagine that INSIDE YOUR MOUTH. Feels a bit like someone is punching you in the face and one of your teeth is trying to work its way through your lip. Oh, and the swelling makes eating and drinking interesting.

Two doses of three ibuprofen each with a variety of boozes helped, but this morning I awoke more swollen than ever. I've taken another dose of ibuprofen, but so far, no reduction in swelling. Can't wait to do my 3-hour lecture tonight....

On a positive note, it's nice to know I'm still not allergic to bee stings.

Most unfortunate. Very glad to hear that you are not allergic.

Me too! Though it seems I am a little allergic to bee-stings, because the lip is as bad as yesterday, which was worse than the day I got stung.
