It has been a long week. Monday morning I started off with a visit to the local care center to check up on my throat, chest and no voice thingie. Spent around half the day there waiting in line. Really boring!  At least I got the good doctor that my kids have who is a kinsman from the southern part of the country (so he remembers me to xD) After that little “short” visit he thought that I had an inflammation in the airways so I got some meds prescribed that I picked up.

Got some schoolwork done and then me and the kids went to see my friend Sandra and her kids. When Z got home we left the kids with Sandra and went back to our place so they could do some more work on the bedroom.  At around 7.30 we called it a night and went to go eat at Sandras place and then take the kids home. There was just a small change of plan when we had finished dinner.

So far we have learned that it’s called an anaphylactic reaction. This can quick become very serious. It’s an allergic reaction to something you have either been in contact with or eaten.  It didn’t show much in the beginning, just some itching on my arms. But over the next 10 minutes my hands started to swallow and I was turning red over my hands, arms and neck/chest. So we decided to call the medical advice phone line which was a good call. They told us to get my sorry as in to the emergency asap. My mother in law drove me and by the time we got there I didn’t have much facial expressions left and I was lobster red over my hands and arms. My lips were numb and swollen so I could barley open my mouth and I was starting to have troubles breathing. Good thing I didn’t listen to Z who said we should w8 for the morning and call the local care center xD

I knew I was allergic to penicillin since before that’s why I got some other meds this time. The doctors on the emergency now believe that I might be allergic to all antibiotics. There might be a third option for me but they are very very very restrictive with giving me that. It’s something I’m getting if I’m really really ill and they can keep me under watch. They took blood samples from me and I had to take some x-rays on my lungs so they could check what kind of sick I was. All the plates showed was that whatever it was I had its getting better and no meds are needed for now.

Another thing I learned was that I could never become a drug addict in secret (not that I ever would want to either) because those cannulas they use when you get into the emergency leave HUGE bruises on me.

So back to the fun stuff! Renovation!! Small steps, but showing results. We now have all the joists up and we even got the door in place now. Today Z and father in law is going to pick up the plaster for the walls and some putty so soon we will have walls to xD

I’m missing out on my exam tomorrow since the hospital couldn’t tell me in time if I could go or not. I don’t want to infect others. But no worries, I talked with my teacher and he agreed with both the doctors and me that it was no point in going if I didn’t feel I was well enough or prepared enough. So now it is time to read up some on my physics and relax a bit so I get well soon.

Here are some more pics :D
