OUCH, Harbor . . .
Many many years ago, I did the same thing while hanging out at our cabin in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Gory details not necessary but it involved a few days in the hospital while I was in a coma and, definitely, LOTS OF PAIN AND AGONY because every hateful Yellow Jacket in the "gaggle" (literally thousands) attacked my poor little body.
Bottom line . . . YOU WERE EXTREMELY LUCKY!
