Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

Owie, owie! I thought a sting on my cheek was bad, don't even want to think about one on the eye. I'd be another grabbing for my epi-pen.

14 hrs. later and after sleeping, my eye is slightly swollen around the eyelid.

Ouch! I hope it doesn't end up swelling too badly or otherwise getting infected. I mention infection because, even if stings don't induce an allergic reaction, they can cause an infection. If your eyelid starts to feel warm to the touch, itchy or inflamed, I would check with your doctor. I ended up having to take an oral antibiotic for one of my bee stings.

Owwww, I can't even imagine it. That must have been so frightening. I wish you well and a speedy recovery for your eye.

owie, bee stings hurt! Last time I got stung I literally felt sick to my stomach from the pain, I was quite shocked at how much it hurt.
