Magoo, You've Done it Again

Tom hadn't been to a hospital in 20 years until last winter where he managed to make it twice in ten days. First he fell off the Anti-Cline and chipped a bone in his rotator cuff. Then in 60 years no allergy had ever showed up but that was the hospital analysis after a day of testing. Not sure what. Something ate or touched. They said since it had taken 60 years to show up the first time a second time was unlikely but about a month ago it happened again and Tom had to wake up guests to tell them he was going to the hospital and didn't know if or when he was coming back. Yesterday Tom is at the river helping Kristin get her kayak out since the river had overflowed and something bit or stung him on the right foot. Tom felt it but he was buried ankle deep in mud so didn't pay attention but today he is not able to get even a sandal on the swollen right foot and it's feeling like another trip to the hospital is coming.

Don't put it off. Maybe they will give you some cortisone to keep on hand, or try Fexofenadine (Allegra.
I've had terrible case of hives since Sun. Saw GP. Saw dermatologist today and got cortisone shot, Rxs for Hydroxyzine and Predmizone. (Not sure of sp.) Leaving for Maine on all-day plane trips so need the strong stuff! You may have stronger reaction next time.
