LINDA DANG

Just when I thought my life was getting dull, I get hit with a traumatic experience.  I’ve been home a lot lately with nowhere to go and nothing to do.  I decided to go eat with a friend and ordered some stir fried noodle dish.  I made sure to tell them to not put any peanuts on the dish.  I guess they forgot to realize that there were traces of  peanuts in the sauce.  The allergic reaction didn’t hit right away. I just thought it was something else and continued to eat.  STUPID ME.

The pharmacy was right beside so I walked there and bought benadryl. I popped a couple pills thinking it would go away.  I felt uncomfortable but the discomfort wasssss tolerable.  I just sat down with my friends and taking it easy.  But then it started to hit me. I started to have trouble breathing and my nose was all stuffed up. I felt my tonsils getting swollen and I was itching like mad…especially my scalp.  I told my friend to rush me to the hospital because I think it was just getting worse. I could see my friend stressing out and very nervous driving me there.  I had my epi-pen with me.  I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to use it or not. I always assumed that  you should just use it when you literally can’t breath.  That was stupid number 2.

Advice for those who have peanut allergies or any severe allergies for that matter.

1. If you feel ANY breathing discomfort…start jabbing ur ass with the epi-pen lols. jk your thighs will do

2. Benadryl is one of the best things you can take when going through an allergy reaction. Nomore than 3 pills within 4-6 hours.

So when I got to the hospital. I went straight to the emergency room.  There was a glass thingy that seperated me from the secretary/nurse.  I had a lot of trouble breathing, my face was red as a tomato and tears kept running down my face.  And no I wasn’t crying…my eyes were just itching and watery as hell. The two nurses were just ignoring me and gossiping.  FOR SO LONG. I’m standing there going wtf is going on here.  Until a nurse walked by and helped me out.  She sent me to another nurse who ran some tests on me.  I was asking her some questions just so I have a better understanding of what was going on. OMG…I have NEVER ever seeen a nurse give me so much attitude in my life.  I’m standing her dying and she has the audacity to give me sarcasm. FUCK YOU BITCH -_- sigh That’s free healthcare for you lol

Then she sent me to the waiting room where my friends were keeping me company.  The look on their faces was so sad, it made me feel like shit.  But I definately appreciated all of them being there for me.  The waiting took FOREVERRRR it was ridiculous!!! I was like seriously struggling to breathe properly. Finally when they called out my name, I think my friends stood up before I did haha. They sent me to a room, where I had to wait some more. By then I was scratching my arms and back to the point where it was bleeding.  Finally the doctor came and gave me some STEROIDS LOL…and put a gas mask on me, which fed me ventolin.  It made me feel SOOO much better. I didn’t want any needles.  I seriously tried to talk the doctors out of giving me any injections.  After a couple hours they let me go home YAY.

But yeah that was my story of the day.  And oh yeah… my old workplace called me and told me how the credit card company was looking for me. I was flipping out while at the hospital going WTH is going on today.  Apparently someone tried to identity theft me.  LIKE OMFG -_-’  FML SERIOUSLY!

This was when they hooked me up on the monitor to check my heart rate. LOL yeah we were focking around taking pictures…eventhough we weren’t allowed to have our cell phones turned on.  I saw a couple doctors walking by laughing lols.

Ventolin is amazing! It was so gross though. Because when you breathe through ur mouth, you can literally taste it. Yuck.
