Welcome to another episode of Bills Law!!!
On todays episode we will be discussing the beginnings of Bills Law trying to keep me from Flite Fest. As usual the most random and dumbest things happen but this episode with will go all wild and nature just to switch things up a bit.
As we all do about now we tend to start gathering things we need for the trip to Flite Fest and start organizing gear, tools, living necessities as well as trying to figure out just how much we can cram into a vehicle to be able to cover as many bases as possible for the event. Like you I have also been doing this and have received a few small things in the mail that were needed / wanted for this trip.
You know that things ordered from Amazon can come from any part of the country or even the world and sometimes some random guests show up with the packages. I have had anything from cool little creatures called pseudo scoripions show up here which are not native to New York to something long dead dried up and stuck the paper packing material used to pad the boxes which I will assume was a very tiny mouse at one point.
Well... I had got a package the other day and did my usual root thru everything to look for above mentioned surprises. You know like how kids root thru the cereal boxes for the prize at the bottom and did not come across anything obvious. A day later I woke up and the back of my knee was sore. Like when you lay on something like crinkled up sheets and it leaves the indentation marks in your skin for a while. Didn't think nothing of it kind of rubbed it a bit and felt not smooth skin and thought I had some sleepy marks from the blanket I had over my knees that night. It wasn't long before it was bothersome enough that I actually went in the bathroom and grabbed a mirror in better light to see what was going on. I saw a round red mark with two small dots and knew it was a bite of some sort immediately.
It wasn't large nor inflamed or turning funky colors like the really bad bites do so I washed it down good hit it with some peroxide to see if that would draw any of the sting out of it and went on about my business for the day. after I was done doing what was needed I started charging batteries to go fly and noticed the bite was slightly swollen and getting warm as expected so I made an ice pack and rested my leg on that while watching some movies as the batteries charged. the swelling subsided and it wasn't painful so I went out to fly and do my thing.
I checked it again last night and it was a little bigger but less red and not swollen but I iced it down again before trying to sleep. Today I woke up and its a tad more sensitive and a bit more spread out. I really can not twist well enough to get a good look so I took a picture to get a better idea what was going on. There is no longer a round red dot but a more spread out red area so it looks like the bite is spreading out and losing its anger now. I am not worried over it as its only red and slightly warm and not turning funky colors like the bite is necrotic.
Thus ends another episode of Bills Law and how it always tries to interfere with anything I try to do.. for now I will do what is recommended by web MD and keep it washed and clean and coated with antibacterial ointment and ice it a few times a day.
