I almost died again yesterday! If my husband could get a life insurance policy on me I would be really concerned. Twice in three months--(even if you are not good with math you should know this is almost too close to be coincidental)--I almost died due to food.
I'm not allergic to peanuts or shellfish or the things most people think of when you say food allergy. I am allergic to cheese (think molds like blue & swiss cheese). Not being able to eat cheese coupled with the fact that I am a self-imposed, vegetarian in denial, makes life hard. I do know there are two things I can safely eat, ice cream and fudge. Okay forget the fudge, all I need to eat is ice cream.
Regardless, yesterday I grabbed a potato chip out of the pantry, and bit off a microscopic piece. Within seconds my throat and airways closed. I was going down for the count and I didn't even swallow! Thanks to God and the makers of the Epi-pen I was able to stop the anaphylactic reaction. No major damage, although if given the chance my husband might try to say I lost oxygen to my brain and am now no longer capable to fulfill my vows (i. e. clean house, fix meals, help kids....).
I do have a point- Really! HERE IT IS: starting next week April 30, 2012 there will be a minimum of 3 blogs a week.(MWF) Now my 2 loyal followers will be guaranteed something to read when they check-in. No more hit and miss! It's time to step up--- time to produce something besides children, traffic accidents and medical bills.
Just give me a couple of days to catch my breath, and in return I promise to blog regularly about things that will have you in a sound slumber faster than any sleeping pill!
P.S.
Can I also start my ice cream count over again? I did almost die!?!

This is scaring your mom to death, TOO. Please
be sure you have an epi-pin. Maybe you should have 2 of them.
Trying not to die! Honestly! Maybe someone is coming and purposely trying to kill me! I read too many books and write too few.
