The how I checked out of Hospital story ( yellow wasp )

How it went down with me that night covered many realities for me .

First I feel if I had been alone I am very unsure of my out come .
I encountered a weakness never felt before . so only god knows.

Second my wife did not do as I would of done in same circumstance, if the bee boot was on her foot
I was basically in hosp no wife visit , but my niece and my oldest did come to visit & take me home
but I was still too messed up.

Third When I felt sorta ok 8 hrs later no body could pick me up .

Now the story - It was raining I live 18 miles from hosp. and I am not really so well .
I get a plastic garbage bag from a waiting room (clean) .go out side cut a hole for my head and arms
and start walking in rain towards road . dark country roads . I put my thumb out and say " no body in there rite mind will pick me up "
so I start walking back to hosp. Then a car pulls up man woman 2 kids in back 2 and 6 years old the guy says whats wrong Dude .
I tell him I need to get home , the Bee situation ,he says no problem any place you need go . Do you need food ? I said I am too sick for food but a Coca-cola would settle me down . MacDonald's Coca-cola and he wont let me pay.

They drove me to my Boss's house - where my truck was . I told them you guys are angles .
Like they say pay it forward

Hey Copper Head, I hope you get to feeling better real soon. Might take a few days for that to get out of your system.
I had an encounter Sunday with a nest with about 35 wasp on it but was lucky and only got stung 5 times on my back and left arm.
I'm glad you got home safely and I hope you get back to scrapping soon. Be well.

Glad you are better!

One thing I can say about scrapping, and Americans, amongst the detrious you do get to meet some really nice 'salt of the earth' people.
Good luck Copperhead, a few days and you will back on your feet and 'itching' to turn over some scrapmetal.

How many threads are you going to start about this topic?

I think this is the third.

Thats it I'd say , but I felt important .
See not really about scrap in a sense . But some of the obstacles scrappers deal with .
This post shows how ruff and ready we are , yet we have a trustworthy aura that we earn each day.

if u know who those people are who helped u & they dont live far from you
maybe u should visit them & bring them a little gift

they will get to see you in a presentable condition
so they dont think they helped a nutjob or a charity case the other night.
human nature being what it is- its only natural for thoughts like that to run through peoples minds.

who knows...
maybe u will get some scrap out of it too...
(hey, i cant help dreaming)

Copper don't let let it bother ya on sharing man. If folks ain't interested in your thread they can skip it. Nobody is forced to read threads. ;)

Glad to see there are good people out there still who will help someone an not expect anything in return. I'm sure they wouldn't mind a thank you from you if possible like MS said..not wet, fresh out of the hospital an hurting. An if not..you got a reason to pay it forward sometime in the future.

Now get back to scrapping an watch out for those yellow jackets, hornets, etc. :p

Sirscrapalot - Just bzzin by.

That really scares me, bees and such. I am allergic and that's one of the reasons I don't crush cans or handle metals from food waste. Now recently I've been to the scrap yard, where bees are certain to be and forgot my epi pen. It's...well I worry but not as much as I probably should. Thanks for sharing. ((MY epi pen is actually for a food allergy I recently figured out the bee allergy the hard way....)

I had a bee crawl into a can of Mountain Dew when I was in high school. I grabbed it out of the fridge one night after being out on the town. Left it on my night stand, woke up extremely hung over, took a sip, 'bout crapped in my bed when he hit me in the upper lip.Took my mind off the headache I had anyway.
