So much has happened in such a short period of time, I think I'm still trying to figure it all out. I think the events of this past several weeks will play a role in shaping how 2012 starts out for me. Good or bad, that part remains to be seen.
For starters though, I spent just about a week recovering from a mysterious allergic reaction from food(s) and/or contact with materials/substances unknown. All I know for certain was I had a pretty nasty reaction to it and had a nice little introduction to what I now know as hives. Life threatening? I don't really think so, but thanks to the power of the internet, I was almost convinced I was going to be stuck with it from anywhere between a week or three or maybe even the rest of my damn life. Thankfully, that doesn't appear to be the case and it has all but cleared up at this point.
This was all fairly scary stuff to me as I've never had such a reaction to anything before in my life. I am absolutely thankful for my mom, who gave me all the right advice and I have to think that is what spared me from a prolonged bout with whatever happened to me.
Thanks mom.
I just hope it is done and over with, because have that many itches on both of my arms, legs, back and bottoms of my feet was absolute hell. I do not want to ever have to experience that again! Ever! Never!
