OUCH!!!

On Sunday morning one of my worst nightmares came true....a scorpion stung one of us. And of course it had to be me! I can't even describe how scared I was at the time and of course it happened while Rory was out golfing his "best game ever". My first thought was "thank God it didn't get Ryan or Drew" (who were cuddling with me at the time). My second thought was "how am I supposed to spend the day shopping now?" It is the absolute worst pain I've ever experienced....seriously almost worst then contractions. Don't get any crazy ideas, I'm never going to experience contractions again! 911 and Poison Control were very helpful and after about 10 hours of the most excruciating pain ever, dizziness and trouble breathing, my legs went numb and I felt like I had about a 120 degree fever. Thankfully Ryan took care of me by making band-aids out of Legos. Today I'm still sore, my leg is a little tingly, my vision is blurry and the weirdest thing is my tongue feels swollen. I guess this could last for days or possibly weeks and other symptoms can still show up over the next few days. I'm also extremely tired since when I close my eyes all I can see or think about is scorpions. For those of you who haven't seen one up close....trust me, they are the scariest looking things EVER! I'm terrified of them and it's the one thing I hate about living in Arizona. And of course I've seen more of them in 3 months then some people who have lived here for several years. I just hope that the boys NEVER have to experience what I went through. Now, Rory....that would be a different story....Mr. Tough Guy!
