Mongo's Misadventure
So, I haven't been quite as active on the boards this past week, but there's a reason for this.
No, I wasn't doing time or even pre-occupied with work or anything else. Mongo almost bit the dust last week and I've been slowly recovering.
As sissy as it sounds, I'm allergic to bee stings. Haven't had a reaction in a long time. Hell I've been stung a bunch over the past 20 years and had no reaction. Worst one I ever had was when I was 7, but I almost bit it then too.
Doing my dangerous yard work, I ran over a nest of hornets. Well, they got a tad pissed and swarmed me. About 5 stings later, I realized I should probably tell somebody before I just passed out in the yard. Told the wife and she just got huge-eyed at me. Apparently, it had already started to swell. While she was talking me into going to the hospital my throat started to swell shut. Not fast, so I wasn't freaking out, then I tried to get up and I started having chest pains. NOT COOL. Anaphylactic shock was in full swing.
Since we only live a block away from a hospital, she took me and luckily there were a few good guys to help me into the place. I was taken right back and they started the drug mixes. At this point I was totally out of it, almost feels like you're super drunk.
Fast forward to 4 hours later and I was all good to go. Heart monitors and continued drugs for a while but I'm recovering all right. As of tomorrow morning I'm all clear.
