You Should Have Seen the Other Guy…I Mean, Walnut
From 10/03/06:
The last 16 hours have been F-U-N. It all started last night. We had our Yom Kippor feast of Matzoball soup, Roast Beef sandwiches and a brownie for dessert. The brownie had walnuts on it and well, I have had a hatred for walnuts my whole life. I decided to put aside our differences and dig in because it looked so damn tasty. An hour later I was lying on my couch playing with the pup when I realized I was REALLY itchy. EVERYWHERE. So I looked at myself in the mirror. Hives. Ahh, no biggie there weren’t alot of them so I popped two benadryl and proceeded to then have a panic attack. You know because sometimes when people are allergic to things, their throat closes up. I was sure I was going to be one of those people. Luckily, I wasn’t and went to bed.
This morning I woke up and sincerely in all honesty looked EXACTLY like this:
Yep pretty much sloth.
Jason and I rushed to my docs and she shot me full of steriods.
My lovely doc also gave me these parting gifts. More steriods(I will be lifting cars off of small children in no time!):
AND the greatest gift of all for someone who freaks out about her throat closing up on a semi regular basis. The EPIPEN!!! Yippee. I now have to carry this wherever I go. Epipen, my friend…
***This post took me FOREVER to publish because I couldn’t figure out how to load pictures onto Wordpress and panic my ass off at the same time.***

Mr. Fabulous Says:
I think your date is wrong. The post is showing last week’s date.
I am sorry you had to go through that. That really sucks.
Careful with that Prednisone. People have a tendency to put on weight when they take it.
Celise Says:
I’m allergic to nuts, too. And my throat will close up as well. Yeah. Nice. Welcome to the club, girlio.
Chase Says:
Eh. That’s what you get for putting nuts in your mouth, you filthy whore.
A-HA!
ZING! I rule!!

Did you ever see the movie “Hitch” with Will Smith?
Was it like that?
(I just saw it today … nothing else on during the day …)
Poor thing. Feel better. Glad you’re back too!
Javajabber Says:
Oh, one more thing …
Why is the date on your home page “October 3?”
Just curious … and I’m hoping it’s not me!

I hope your allergic reaction clears up for you quickly. The methylprednisolone may make your face puffy for a while though. (Mine did when I was in Hawaii. But it beats the alternative of hives and blotchy red spots all over) And I’d stay away from walnuts Plunky!
Hope the rest of your week goes better.

What a nightmare! At least a nut allergy is something people can nod sagely about (although it sucks). I am allergic to raspberries which gets me odd looks and backing away…
If you have any Wordpress related problems again drop me a line and if I can’t sort it I know a man who can…
Kentucky Girl Says:
OMG, glad to hear you’re okay. I found out I was allergic to chicken. WTF? Chicken? Gah. I’ve never had to use the pen…*touches wood*
Karen Rani Says:
If you need help, just ask (about the template, not your medical stuff….ha ha!)
Glad you’re okay!
