Because of all the near death incidents I had in my early years (2 - 13) You already know about my catfish incident. Starting at 2 yrs. I chewed on a rag that was soaked in malathion. Resulting in having my stomach pumped out at a Clovis, NM hospital. I'm highly allergic to wasps, bees, poison ivy. Got blood poisoning from poison ivy, nearly killed me. Stung by bees and wasps so many times, I would swell up so much my breathing was affected by it, barely made it to the ER in time on many occasions. Even today, I have about 15 minutes to make it to a hospital before my system starts shutting down. And I don't have an epipen, so just have to be real careful. I do carry benadryl on me at all times, it gives me a chance to make it to the hospital.

Can't you ask the doctor to prescribe an epipen?

AW gee Sean, all of that was missing from your interview. Maybe we could all pitch in and at least get you a bee keeper's outfit and head gear to offer some protection.

Some parents are like that Sean. My mother wouldn't let me cross streets without someone holding my hand - even kids younger than me. But she let me run around the neighborhood by myself and you know what happened when I was young.

Would you use an epipen if you had one? Do any of your siblings have similar allergies?

I didn't include that in my interview because you would still be reading it! but I did say something to the effect that I made it through life without too many more life threatening events, let's just say lighting strikes twice....yes, I've been struck by lighting, twice. Once, while hanging from a construction basket by crane, 450 ft. above ground, when a thunderstorm blew in, and before it could be lowered it got struck. Luckly, I had rubber boots on or I would have been fried. Another time, I was on a metal platform on a bark boiler at a paper mill. Doing testing during a thunderstorm, the platform was struck, the strike made my heart fibilate, irregular heart beat for months after, that strike entered via a communication head set I was wearing. Knocked me unconscious for several hours.
So is it any wonder why I'm still around? None of my other siblings have any allergic reactions like I have from the various bees, wasps, scorpions, poison ivy, etc....I was special, I guess?
Nancy, you always have a way of getting the hidden story out of me!

Check into the generic ones. But your life is more important than money, you need one!

I know it's a little late now but anybody want some coffee??

 

[drumstick diva]

Sean, I can't get MUCH out of you! But, I got a hint when your birthday will be. Darn - have great get well cards(ordered a new batch) but don't have any decent birthday cards.

Have a feeling George has something coming probably next week.

 

[drumstick diva]

BTW Sean have doctors/ER treated your serious allergies with steroids?

I remember an acquaintance had to have hip replacement because the steroid use destroyed the bone. She had asthma - of course she didn't give up chain smoking. She'd have the oxygen canister right there and she was smoking to beat the band!

@007Sean, You are 'special' indeed.

Almost. Rosie had a great first series run and came back high. Had another good one going in second series, but lost the rabbit . When the smoke cleared she got a 4th place. she looked good every time down, and I was quite satisfied with her performance.
