It's been a few days since the infamous yellow jacket invasion, and I'd noticed a sizable lump on the underside of my jaw, getting bigger each day. I had an appointment today for some follow-up blood work, so decided to call and see if I could have a doctor check out the lump, and was able to get at lunchtime today. The doctor checked it out and isn't worried at all - says it's my lymph gland doing its job, fighting off what it views as an intruder in my system (aka bee sting stuff - I know there's a term for it but can't think of it at the moment). He's prescribed anti-inflammatory meds for a week or so, and said if it doesn't go down - or if it gets any bigger - to call and come back in. He said too, that this is the first time he's had a patient EAT a yellow jacket, although he did have one get stung on a lip when the bee was in a drink. Another first for me - wa hoo!
