the nurse at the doctor's office taking mother in. Since I'm already &gt; on an 
antihistamine, she said there wasn't much she could do unless it gets &gt; 
progressively worse. The red area has begun to very slowly decrease in &gt; 
size. I kept a Benedryl spray on it all of yesterday and an icepack between &gt; 
phone calls at work. I'll be doing that today, too. I sure wish the &gt; itching 
would stop. I can't scratch it because the skin is so very tender &gt; over the 
area. Of such is life. I've probably already turned the corner &gt; and it will 
just take some time. &gt; &gt; Dad used to soak my feet (swollen to where the 
toes looked like funny little &gt; dots on the end of my swollen foot and leg 
from bee sting) in Epson Salts. &gt; I'd try that, but how do I get my shoulder 
into a bucket with the mix? &gt; LOL!!! &gt; &gt; I ran across an end of season 
sale and got a flat of herbs for $ 0.40 per 4" &gt; pot. I'm a happy camper now!

MOSQUITOES &gt; &gt; &gt; Oh oh Bonnie, better call &amp; make an apointment for 
yourself. This could be &gt; a &gt; &gt; cellulitis ie nasty infection. My mom 
in law had a reaction like that to a &gt; &gt; sting &amp; they gave her an IV 
antibiotic in the doctor's office before they &gt; &gt; would let her leave. 
Sent her home with instructions to come back for &gt; &gt; another dose if it 
wasn't better the next day. Nothing to fool around with &gt; &gt; hoping it will 
get better. &gt; &gt; ----- Original Message ----- &gt; &gt; From: "Bonnie &amp;

&gt; Thanks, Donna! It is almost ready. We are going to flatten out the &gt; 
catch &gt; &gt; &gt; basins a bit and I'm trying to find stones to finish it 
off. I've got &gt; &gt; "land &gt; &gt; &gt; plants" from Wendy and from 
birthday gifts to do the plantings around it &gt; &gt; &gt; when we get the rest 
of the "hardscape" in place. (There hasn't been &gt; much &gt; &gt; &gt; leisure 
time for doing such things for a number of days.) It is &gt; wonderful &gt; &gt; 
&gt; to hear the water when I'm outside and it actually feels cooler around &gt; 
the &gt; &gt; &gt; little pond. &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; As for the wasp 
sting, it appears to be "spreading" and getting worse. &gt; I &gt; &gt; &gt; was 
hoping to avoid a doctor's visit with all the time I'm taking for &gt; &gt; &gt; 
mother's appointments. However, allergies considered, I'd best show &gt; this 
&gt; &gt; to &gt; &gt; &gt; Doc's nurse when I take mother in tomorrow for her 
tests. It had been &gt; &gt; about &gt; &gt; &gt; the size of a quarter and now 
the red has spread to the size of a good &gt; &gt; &gt; grapefruit, is fire hot 
and itches like crazy. (At least it didn't kick &gt; &gt; up &gt; &gt; &gt; the 
asthma!) :&gt;D &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Blessings, &gt; &gt; &gt; Bonnie

Bonnie (SW OH - zone 5) Who will be seeing the doctor tomorrow from a &gt; &gt;

before these monsters carry me off, what do y'all use for &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; 
mosquito &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; repellant? &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; I've been using the 
Avon Skin So Soft BugGuard plus w/ pretty good &gt; &gt; &gt; results &gt; &gt; 
&gt; &gt; in &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; past &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; years, but this year?? 
Might as well sprinkle sugar water on myself &gt; &gt; &gt; and &gt; &gt; &gt; 
&gt; glue &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; little &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; knives and forks to my 
skin and set the table. Whacked one tonight &gt; &gt; &gt; that &gt; &gt; &gt; 
&gt; was &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; the &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; size of a small wasp. I 
don't know what the deal is but I'm getting &gt; &gt; &gt; eaten &gt; &gt; &gt; 
&gt; alive. &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; I was spraying myself earlier and before I got 
done, they were landing &gt; &gt; &gt; on &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; me &gt; &gt; &gt; 
&gt; and &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; biting. This has got to stop. &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;
