Flipped a mental quarter Wednesday night. Heads, I would go fishing on Thursday, Tails, I would stay home and do yardwork.
Yardwork won. I started about 10:00 am
I somehow managed to annoy a nest of spiders, one of which nailed me on the top of my right foor.
10 minutes later I was in full-blown anaphlactic shock.
My skin felt like it was on fire, and my hands and feet itched terrbily. I took 4 Benedryl tablets and hoped for the best.
When my lips went numb and I was having trouble swallowing, the "macho" spirit left me and I made a bee-line for the nearest Emergency Room before my trachea slammed shut.
I talked to the ER Triage nurse for about 30 seconds, and within about 5 minutes, I was in a room with a big-bore IV in me pumping in meds.
Left the hospital at about 6:00
Next time, I don't care what comes up on the coin toss....
I'm a goin' fishin!!!
