So I get a few weeks off from school to enjoy life and see some new stuff.
I’ve still been going to different photo shoots and learning new things. It was a blast.
And then I got sick. It started off as a cold… I had a sore throat… I was miserable… sneezing and feeling like poo… and then what I thought was a rash began to form on my face. I have allergies to fun things like peanuts1 and zucchini2. It’s not uncommon for me to bust out in hives and need to overdose myself in benadryl which turns me into a walking zombie. I also have the pleasure of needing to constantly have an EpiPen with me, YAY ME!3 However, I have never had anything like that happen to my face! And then it started spreading and my face started to swell up like a balloon. So, I returned to taking benadryl and staying indoors. It’s been a blast. Day 4 of the swelling and the rash is fading but my skin is now peeling. It’s like I have some kind of chemical burn. I am NOT enjoying this at all. I am starting to think its environmental because I haven’t put on any make up in days nor have I put anything on my face. I changed my sheets and yet it’s still there taunting me! Grrrrrrrrrrr!!
On top of looking like a beach balloon in the face, my dad is in the hospital with some mysterious ailment the doctors can’t seem to figure out. It’s been about a week now and still no answers. I am very tempted to get on a plane and go demand some answers myself, but of course, I am far too vain to leave the house with a swollen, peeling, and flaking face. I don’t want to traumatize any small children for life.
And that’s been my life for the past 10 days or so. I have been relatively lucky to have an empty schedule this past week but next week I go back to school and 101 other things. I hope this clears up before then!4
I hope everyone else is having a WONDERFUL 4th week of February.
- which totally sucks!! [↩]
- which I refuse to believe and think the doctor was just being a tool and making s*#t up. after all it was a military doctor who allowed me to suffer endlessly for months on end before realizing i was really suffering from migraines and needed a referral. [↩]
- the joys of having extreme paranoia that one day someone will actually need to stab me in the thigh with that damn things keeps me on the straight and narrow more often than not… I won’t lie though, I LOVE reese’s peanut butter cups! [↩]
- and yes I know I should go see a doctor but seriously, I really do not want to leave the house! [↩]
