Crazy and Rough Day

Yesterday was a very strange day. On Thursday night I had a hard time sleeping because of upper abdominal pain. I didn't think much about it because I didn't notice it on Friday. Friday morning was my cousin Robert's Funeral. I didn't know Rob very well since he had been in trouble quite a bit in his younger years. I never really knew him as a good person. I was amazed and blessed at his funeral to hear he had really turned his life around. There were quite a few friends at his funeral and co-workers that really enlightened how I felt about him. They said he was the sweetest and most selfless person they knew. When working in construction he would go the extra mile to get people water or just make sure everyone was ok. I was really grateful I learned this about him.
After the funeral and luncheon my family headed over to my house for a combined birthday party for Kade and his dad Erik(who were both born on the 27th). We had a lot of fun playing and watching Wally. This is when the weird stuff started. When Kade was opening his presents I noticed that the bottom right side of my lip had gone numb. Hmm thats weird I thought. Then I went and looked in the mirror to notice I had a huge swollen lip. It was not painful just swollen and itchy. I couldn't figure out what had caused this and I needed to go into work to finish my shift for the day. I said by to my family and headed into work. The minute I get into work. I couldn't stop itching everywhere so I went to the bathroom and noticed I had hives on the left side of my body. I went to the manager currently working and let him know the situation and I headed home. (so much for work I suppose) Then I tried to find an open urgent care(hoping to pay less than the ER) but it was impossible. I talked to Craig and he sent me to the ER. Once I got to the ER I was put on an IV and stayed there for about 1 1/2 hours. I have never had an allergic reaction so I was very suprised by this. The ER doctor mentioned that he had no idea what had caused this so he sent me home with a prescription that if my lip swelled again to take and come back to the ER. Luckily my lip did not swell anymore and I don't really remember much from when I got home to when I woke up this morning at 10:30am. I must have slept for at least 10-11 hours without waking. Sorry for the long story but I just thought I would share my crazy crazy day.
