Yesterday, I went out to lunch with my best friend, Lyndsey, and her son, Orion. Obviously, Amelia was with me. Anyway, we went to Bob Evans out in Martinsburg. The food originally tasted really good. I had gotten steak and eggs with home fries and a sweet tea. Well, like 3 or 4 bites in, I thought there was egg stuck to my lip. Little did I know, it was actually the beginning of an allergic reaction. The left side of my lip had started to swell. Then after a few more bites, my throat started to hurt and feel like it was swelling. I just thought I was getting sick. Nope. I should've stopped eating right then. The food tasted so good though, and I was so hungry. After taking Lyndsey and Orion home, Amelia and I went home. Mom instantly commented on it. She could tell my lips were swollen and said my eyes we blood shot. Like I was "blazing" as Michaila would say. I took a benadryl and then Amelia and I went to our room while Michaila and Mom went to an appointment. Mia watched Despicable Me while I tried to rest. Then Erik came over and just relaxed with me. Around 2:30, Mom and Michaila came back home and said my eye was swollen. It felt dry to me, but I didn't think it was swollen. And, of course, my adorable boyfriend never pointed it out. I don't like he ever realized it. Anyway, after that I had to go to Urgent Care. They told me it was most likely an allergy to eggs or hopefully, just the restaurant itself. They then gave me a shot to stop the reaction and an EpiPen in case it happens again. After all that, I was pretty much useless. I laid down the rest of the day. I didn't have the energy to do anything at all. The shot or something even gave me a horrible headache, so that didn't really help much. And now, I'm afraid to eat anything. Anyway, fast forward to today and my eye is still slightly swollen and it feels like my throat is swollen. Thankfully, I had someone cover my shift today because I don't think I would have been able to make it. Guess we'll see what the rest of the day brings.
