Oh my god freak out. in Bittersweet

The last time I got stung was 15 years ago. I swelled up astronomically and they told me another sting could be anaphylactic. 

I was hanging out talking to one of our interns outside. GORGOUS day, Mid 80s. Perfect comfortable temp to be chilling on the porch. After 20 minutes. I felt a sting on my knee. Im wearing a calf length linen skirt and I FREAK out. Im kinda babbling I need to get to my desk. I gotta take Benadryl. He said it didnt fall out of my skirt. I felt the second sting next to the first but not as bad.  Im walking down the street to my building 3 doors down. Undoing my skirt and taking it off/shaking it out. I wear shorts and he is a gay guy haha. He didnt even seem phased. Im not super panicky yet. But really worried.

Then I get to my building and feel the third sting in my hand. It must have clung to the outside of my dress. Although that one went into my finger. It was out of venom at that point so its the least swollen.

Thankfully I was with an intern and he walked me to my office. When I felt the third sting i panicked and the clinical director heard me. Thy walked me to the doctor across the street who were USELESS. Like 5 minutes after they came out and asked if i was having a hard time breathing. Then said call my GP and go to the ER if I was worried. CD and intern were mad about their reactions. 

We went back to my office and I took some Benadryl and zertex. We iced it and put some lidocaine on it. 

My leg is lovely and swollen.  But im not reacting badly. I am just grateful someone had a cooler head to calm me down! 

The allergy meds seemed to help with the swelling and its no where near what it was last time. 
I did google and bees vs wasp stings are different venom so that may be why? IDK I panicked over it and nothing happened. So i feel dumb. Maybe the last sting was the anomaly in the reaction. Literally it was the size of a softball and bruising/black. And it was in a similar place. This one is just to the inside of my kneecap. The other one was maybe 3 inches higher up my leg. Same leg. Both times wearing a skirt. 

In other lovely news. M had a mental breakdown, freaked out, left for days. Had to call a police welfare check and we now consider her to have quit her job. We just got our new girl on the 16th and shes like 8 days in, so we will be training TWO new people at once. 
I need to go into this more when im not getting Benadryl tired.  I'm just SO FUCKING GLAD she's gone and THAT drama is over.
