a bee sting is painful

yesterday i was going down the pontoon at the jetty,
i put my hand onto the railing, to steady myself as i make my way down to the seaboat
a sharp sting poke into my left hand..

it hurts like mad
the trainee behind me say that he saw this huge black dunno-what fly off, supposedly a bee as i doubt a hornet will leave its sting in my flesh

i immediately pulled the sting out
it was about half a cm long, with some flesh at the end of the sting
after i pulled it out, i noticed it was still twitching, yes, the sting was twitching
i suppose that's some nerve reaction (think lizard tail)

my hand felt numb, and the area around the sting turned red
slowly my forearm begin to feel a little sore too

i decide against going to see the doctors in my medical centre because of their infamous system (refer to my previous entries abt the unprofessionalism of these health care givers)

after a few hours, the redness went off but it was still sore
took some panadol before going to slp last nite

this morning
it swelled up, and it was more itchy, and i can't clench my fist
it felt as though i have implants in my palm, er, extra flesh...

real sickening
i went to buy the wonder itch relieving/skin/pimples/rashes all-in-1 pearl cream which my mum bought for me some time back and it did helped a little to relieve the itch/sore

arg
i cant hold my drum sticks with my left hand
i can't press chords on my guitar
i have to extend my palm open when i type

man, really some ORD gift i received from my beloved unit >P
