I used up one of my nine lives today, (I'm probably down to two left.) We stayed up until 2am, hoping to get some word about Steve. Went to bed and took the pill marked, "take at bedtime." Rolled over on my side and went to sleep.
Slept fine and was up at 10am. As I was headed to the restroom nt throat felt like it was real dry, like I had been snoring hard, so I grabbed the mouthwash to have a gargle. I couldn't gargle, it was like I was choking to death. It was at this point I looked at my self in the mirror and saw that my neck was nearly as wide as my jaw and very taut.
The glands under my jaw were like two glass marbles under the skin. And just as suddenly I was unable to get a full breath into my lungs. I was being strangled by my own throat!
I was as scared as I have ever been. You can believe it. I couldn't swallow and I couldn't breath very good either. A call to 911.. In the ambulance a shot of Beynedrel )spelling) and on to the hospital, code 3. At the ER they shot me with a couple more shots of something else and I am alive, home and typing this to all of you.

My son saw me (we were talking) near death.
I was on a breathing machine with ice blankets.
Swelling is dangerous bad news. Call someone.

The hockey player comes to mind. Swelling is # ten.
None of us mortals are such damn tough buzzards.
Your probably Not the Malingering weak crybaby.
A politico is coddled and moan and grown at fleas.
If a flea bites them they call 9-11. They get a gram.

1. Lisinopril
2.Simvastatin
Both of these drugs list what happened to me as a rare occurrence. I try and try to point out to these idiots that I am sensitive to drugs. If is says side effects and rare, it probably means it will happen to me. I point out to them that I hit a rare one in 1998. 7 million to one= Ostonecrosis and I got it because I was sensitive to Steroids.
None of these medical people seem to not believe me or listen.
I'm so glad you're okay.

Bernadine, I might be in your area on Sunday, you can de-claw me then!! ;D
