What I forgot to remember....

What I forgot to remember is that I am allergic to three types of antibiotics: penicillin, Ceclor, AND sulfa. My mother apparently remembered this, but assumed that I would remember it also. I had completely forgotten. My doctor even asked me yesterday, but you can take sulfa drugs right? And I was like, oh, yeah, sure! So now I have a swollen face and eyes, and a rash and I am very itchy everywhere. I felt like my throat was swelling shut so I went to an urgent care clinic (where the Dr. who treated me, strangely enough, was named Lawrence Smith, which is my dad's name) this evening. He said, Does your face normally look like that? Which I think is sort of like asking someone, listen, how ugly are you normally, anyways? He said my tonsils were very swollen (and we have now officially identified what is growing on my tonsils: the correct term is puss! I was hoping for something a little snazzier, with a little more sophistication to it), which is probably why my throat feels like it is swelling shut. Right after he said how digusting my puss-laden tonsils were, he looked over at Dave and said, and it's very contagious! Now, was that REALLY necessary? Does he really think Dave is going to want to kiss me right now anyways? Dave probably thought, oh yes, I'll try to control myself! Hold me back!
Now I am on Cipro, and steroids, and lots of Benedryl! Yay for me! But at least I did not wind up in the emergency room tonight! I've certainly had enough of this for one week. It's gotta stop. It's getting ridiculous!
