How to get drunk without ingesting alcohol - a personal guide!
My life has been WAAAAYYYYY too intesting lately.

Earlier in the week, I stepped on a bumblebee, who was none too amused to be stepped on, so I got stung in the foot. Well, I had an allergic reaction and ended up in the ER getting taken care of. It was not a life threatening reaction, but I did have some shortness of breath and major breakouts of hives.

Doctor and I discussed whether or not to give me the epinephrine, and we decided against it. But while I was in the ER, the doctor gave me IV SoluMedrol and IV Benadryl.

Word to the wise, do not attempt anything requiring any kind of manual dexterity, etc etc etc, while under the influence of IV Benadryl...

I was frigging looped!

3. Yeah, the computer was handy!
I feel like I have been batter dipped and deep fried.

I will be retiring early tonight.

2. Ouch!
Was that on the bottom of your foot? I hope you're alright! Did they tell you to carry an epinephrine pen, just in case it happens again?

4. Yes, got the epipen!
What a freaky thing though.

Of course, I probably should not have been wandering around barefoot!

10. Ouch!!
I'm glad you're okay. Keep your shoes by the door from now on. I've never been stung before and I'm too old to start now...

Welcome back. Getting all settled in?

11. Oh My, KW!
Sorry this happened to you!

While no epinephrine this time, hope you got a sting kit.

My first hubby was allergic, broke out in hives, with each sting reaction worse than the one before. It took him being stung while surfing off of Maui and his throat starting to close up that finally convinced him to have a sting kit on hand.


IV Benedryl....hmmmm....sounds intense!! :wow:

Glad you're OK now :hug: :hi:
