MsRobyn, go get a snake bite kit, use the lancet to open that carbuncle up a little, and then use the suction cup to empty that baby out. Use a good antiseptic after. This will in no way make your lip less swollen, but at least you will have the satisfaction of getting that mutha.
Anyway, don’t fret. Airman has already said that it isn’t going to be that monster that’s on his mind. Of course, now that he knows about it, his eyes will be riveted to the spot like he’s viewing a sideshow freak. Just joking! I’m sure that you both will have a great time. 
Bye the bye, I have actually used the above technique twice, and it worked quite well.
