You’ll have to wait a bit for me to return to my normal chatter on this blog. Yep, this post is interrupted for yet another medical emergency.
\n
\nI was preparing my usual four- gluten-free flour waffles for my spouse yesterday morning. I decided to try buckwheat flour instead of something I had been using before. <\/p>\n
Man, that stuff caused an extremely violent and immediate attack of an allergic reaction. My throat closed, my chest hurt, I coughed so violently that I thought I would cough out my lungs. I sneezed so hard that I blew a glass off the table. <\/p>\n
The reaction was getting worse and worse, so my spouse called our doctor, who amazingly was available. The doc suggested that my spouse hit me with an epipen, which I have on hand due to my violent reaction to mustard (yeah, I can’t come anywhere near that yellow stuff, either.)<\/p>\n
Within a few minutes, the symptoms began to abate. I could breathe again. But the coughing was so strong, I was absolutely wiped out. I went to bed and rested most of the day.<\/p>\n
This morning (Saturday) as you read this, I am feeling a little better, but still not good. I am sore and achy all over.<\/p>\n
On top of that, my spouse is not well, either. He has another issue going on, caused by a medication that he is taking. He hasn’t … “evacuated” … since Thursday morning.<\/p>\n
So I will swing into caregiver mode shortly… <\/p>\n
Return tomorrow for yet another episode of “how these boots roll.”<\/p>\n
