Tonight I discovered the most efficient way to ruin dinner.....Anaphylaxis! It all starts with grilling. I had big gorgeous steaks that had been marinated to ensure amazing tenderness. Baked sweet potatoes were done along with seasoned cabbage. My mom came over for dinner, this was the first time in weeks she has been over so there was some needed catching up to be had. I proceed outside to check the steaks when I suddenly feel a bite on my ankle, then on my head, followed by my left hand. I hear loud buzzing getting closer when I realized I was being attacked my yellow jacket wasps! I ran through the yard and back inside. I have never been stung by a wasp before, much less 3 of them. The pain was terrible and the areas started to swell quickly. Within 5 mins I felt like I had a golf ball in my throat, accompanied by a cough and my voice started to sound raspy. I was rushed to the hospital, courtesy of Kelly, and shot up with Epinephrine and a bunch of other meds. Luckily, I am able to breathe now and finally home in my own bed! I now need to carry an Epi pen with me at all times, the problem is the pen costs me $300 even with my insurance covering some! So lets pray I dont get stung again any time soon!
