I’m the girl who is never sick, isn’t allergic to anything,
never has broken a bone…pretty much the girl that doctors love doing physicals
on because they can check no on every box. Africa found the loop hole. DON’T
WORRY, I’M OKAY! So, on Sunday I got home from my trip to Durban and noticed
two large bumps on my arm that I assumed were mosquito bites because I usually
get a little swollen. On Monday, I woke up and my whole arm was swollen.
Halfway through the day I decided to start popping the Benadryl, to no
avail. That night, my arm was two times
its normal size and believe it or not, my size 9 (man sized) Aggie ring would
no longer fit. I also started getting a
rash on my stomach. Wednesday, I woke up
to find a giant arm, rash covered body, and swollen
eyelids. Let me tell you, I was looking gooood. With the help of the Peace
Corps, we decided it was time for me to make the trip to the hospital. The swelling has finally gone down, after
many days of looking like a scary monster, and I am good to go. Leave it to
Africa to find something I’m allergic to. Too bad I have no idea what it
is…dundundunnn.
