Wasted 9.5 Hours

I was feeling bad and thought maybe I could try taking what was left of the anti-biotic that made me itch so bad. I have always felt like the reaction I had was because of taking Musinex with it. So before I took the pill, I got the Benedryl out. Took the pill and within seconds started itching. My body got so hot and itchy. I went out to the garage to get Tom ready to take me to the ER, but after sitting in the cool air, I was getting okay. Didn't stop the itching, but otherwise I was okay. I finally quit itching, and went inside to watch TV. The next day I woke up to my arm looking like I had been in a fight with a cat. Later I just kept feeling worse. So about 3:00 I had Tom take me to the ER. I sat there till 12:32. Mostly in the waiting room. I will be posting about something that happened there later. I had 2 breathing treatments, chest x-ray, blood work, and an EKG. But mostly I sat in a wheel chair. The doctor came in listened to my lungs, wrote out scripts, and left..about 3 minutes Tops! Over 30 min later, breathing treatment. I was done at midnight, and I think Tom coming to get me maybe hurried them along to get me released. I sat there for 30 min. after the treatment. I called him at Midnight and it only takes about 15 min tops to get to that hospital. There is another one closer to us, but everytime I have had an IV there, it takes them 3-5 times to find a vein. Last night at the other ER...1 stick. Feeling better today.
