Friday morning, a little while after I put on my rings, my left arm from my elbow to my wrist became itchy and covered with little red bumps. So I went to the bathroom and washed off that area and took the last of the Benadryl we had at the house. The redness and itchiness went away but my fingers remained very swollen. I got home a little after 4 and was probably asleep by 8. I was able to get one of my rings off before going to bed, but that was it.
Saturday morning, my whole body ached and every thing was swollen. Shawn noticed my feet and my lips in fact one of the first things he said to me was that my lips looked like Angelina Jolie. He went to the store, talked to the pharmacist, and picked me up some more Benadryl. The swelling went down a little bit but I was still unable to get the ring off. I also took a nap before we headed to Atown. At 2 I met up with some girls from school to talk about our first week of student teaching. I felt so bad because I was so groggy. Afterwards Shawn and I met my parents to see my mom's very cute, hip, and new hair style. I went to a few stores with my mom. While out, Courtney called to see if we wanted to go to dinner with her, Shane, and her parents. I wasn't too sure about it at that time, but after about an hour or so the groggy cloud had lifted from my head and other than the swelling and a little itching I felt fine. So we met them at Johnny Corinos for dinner (see her future blog update for pictures ). Afterwards the four of us went to visit Tifanie and Fabian's house for a couple of hours. When we got home I took some more Benadryl and crashed.
This morning I once again woke up very sore with huge lips, feet, and hands. So I have been taking it easy all day. I did finally and painfully got the other ring off this afternoon. I am going to call the doctor first thing in the morning to make an appointment.
I have never ever that I can recall had an allergic reaction like this before in my life. I don't know what I could have touched while getting ready on Friday that I wouldn't have touched any other time or ate. Things with my body have just been very weird lately and it just seems out of whack. It is a very weird and puzzling feeling and I am hoping the doctor can give me some answers. Anyway it hasn't been a horrible weekend, but it could have been a much better one with out all of this going on!
Hope you all have a terrific week!
