First off, I’ve added several pics to the Gallery.

Wednesday morning I woke up around 7am for some odd reason so got up for a few minutes after I finished freaking out thinking that I had slept til 7pm and missed doctor appointment and such.
I was laying back down in bed and drifting off when the side of my left foot had this intense pain and felt like a match or something hot had been jabbed into it. After further investigation I find 2 bite marks, both a good distance apart which leads me to believe that the first wakeup was caused by the first bite. I got back to sleep for a bit and went to GI doctor and had some blood work done and setup a colonoscopy (May 31). I came home and sat around a bit went out to walmart to pick up some stuff and went by my moms house. I showed her my foot while I was there and freaked her out. The side of it had swollen up and was red so finally got talked into going to the ER to have it checked out.
Normally I would’ve ignored it and let it clear up but had been having trouble breathing (such as pain in left side of chest when breathing in) and felt like something was in lungs (thus making me cough like mad) and was causing my throat to itch pretty bad. Now considering the fact that I’ve had my go-round with Anaphylaxis before and know that the symptoms I had are also symptoms of that I decided better safe than sorry.
I left and drove up to the ER and got checked in and taken back pretty quick, talked to doctor for a few minutes, had chest x-ray taken, was given some steroids and talked to Derek while I waited. I was finally able to make it home about 1am this morning, was told to take some benadryl and keep ice on foot. My lungs were clear considering I had been sick and all so that was good. Otherwise could’ve been home sleeping or being productive just to be told to take some benadryl.
Also added to the navigation menu at the top is a link to Fortuna which serves as my personal wiki, alot is still left to be done but its there.
Tis all for now.
