What a day!

[tinuvial]

I woke up this morning in the process of dropping into anaphylactic shock from a spider bite. Luckily, 2 tabs of Benedryl pulled me out of that, however, I was literally shaking as if it were 20 degrees below zero outside for a couple of hours. Then, I discovered that for whatever reason my stomach absolutely wouldn't let me drink anything without sending it right back out. So, then, I had to fight a dehydration headache on top of that as well.

I'm still feeling really woozy. I'm lucky I didn't have to call for an ambulance this a.m. My friend Mark just dropped off a couple of quarts of Gatorade for me, and I was finally able to drink 32 oz. of water this afternoon, so tonight I'm just going to chill in front of the computer and re-hydrate myself. I'm hungry too, but I'm not sure what I should eat.

Of course, after having the chills all morning, I also seem to be running a fever now... this sucks so much. I had planned on going out to watch Tomb Raider tomorrow, but I'm going to have to stay close to home. Also, I still have a bunch of housework to do that I don't really feel like doing. I hope I feel better tomorrow.

Ciao for now.

It's things like this that make me question whether or not it's smart for me to live without a roommate. I do have some medical problems, and it's scares like these that make me think I should always have someone around.

This is the second time I've had problems with spider bites since I moved into this apartment. It's not fun. I still feel like a Mac truck ran over me. I think I'll go to bed soon and sleep more, even though that's all I've been doing all day.

UUUUUUUgh that sounds horrible. Hope you feel better soon. I"ve been bitten twice by white tail spiders - they're nasty. You still end up with a scar & sometimes it can flare up years later. The bit is so painful & it builds up for a week until it oozes out. ewwwwwwww. sorry for that !
