It's nice to be home
Posted by Gordon Woolley placed in ARMY
We spent all of last week in the field going over Battle Drills. I had a lot of fun until my squad got attacked by a bunch of Wasps while we set in a support by fire position. I was stung twice in the eye. It swelled up pretty good and I lost most of my sight. I could not see anything beyond 4 - 5 ft in front of my on my left side. I ended up having to go to the ER and found out that I am now allergic to stings. I now have to carry an epipen with me everywhere I go. The doc said that from now on it is going to get worse when I get stung. The next morning my eye was swollen shut.
It is doing good now, not that swollen anymore. They gave me a bunch of pills to take. They keep my eye feeling good.
Next week we have a lot of classes we have to go to, still going thru EIB Training. So I am probably not going to be posting much.
