August 2016

Dear Editor,
When I was sitting on my front porch last Wednesday evening, a wasp flew up to my face and bit my chin, then it bit my finger. When I got up to get some ice for it, I felt dizzy and my vision was full of black clouds. My husband and daughter-in-law were nearby so they helped me into the house. My husband called 911, then opened the door to wave down the help. Well, our police were already there. Less than two minutes. He fitted me with an oxygen mask. I felt better because of two things: the oxygen and a police officer nearby.
