lucoGuess who was in the hospital last night?
Yup, me.
My roommate came back with a friend and they were both drunk, the friend more then the roommate. They had just stopped to grab something before walking back and so I didn't mind. What happened next was...unexpected.
The drunk friend, was friendly and she was kissing people. So when I came out she ran over and kissed me. I laughed and then that was the last I remember.
The alcohol she had been drinking was Baileys something...and it had Walnut in it. The chocolates they had been snacking on had hazelnuts. It equaled a kiss of death. I was told that my lips and face turned red and then I passed out, but because I was being held by a drunk person, I ended up hitting the floor and the table on the way down.
So I was passed out with a concussion.
The friend freaked out and ran off thinking she had killed me, roommates got epi-pen into me and called hospital and I walk up connected to a whole bunch of machines with a massive headache and sore throat.
Still dopey on benadryl and whatever else they give me, but now that I'm awake I'm not suppose to sleep for so many hours...so expect a lot of computer sketches, since I don't think my hand is quite steady enough for pencil ((though it might be I haven't tried yet >>))
Anyways! Maile, I'm glad BB sold at Darkover because I'll need that and the commission money I've just made to pay for a new epi-pen and ambulance bill *sighs*
Anyone else have anything exciting happen to them recently?
Yup, me.

Things like loratidine (claritin in the US) are H1 blockers but can caffeinate you, not something you may want to do. ER's in the US will frequently add this to anaphylaxis cases like yours since it's so innocuous, has little drug interactions and can help.
