God I feel like crap..during my game, I had this really nasty allergic reaction out of nowhere. All of a sudden my nose felt all congested and weird, like I had to sneeze fifty times, and my eyes started itching too. I was going to ask to come out because I felt pretty bad, but luckily I got subbed right then. I asked my coach if I could run to the bathroom real quick and I blew my nose and sneezed a billion times, but that didn't help. Then, my eyes started itching really badly so I rubbed them, but the more I rubbed them the worse they got. Everywhere that I touched started itching in the same way, and like before, the more I messed with it the worse it was. I then noticed that my hands felt really weird..and I looked down and my fingers were all puffy. They were going numb and tingly and whatever I touched felt weird. I looked in the mirror and my face was COMPLETELY swollen. I didn't look like myself at all..I felt like I was squinting because my eyes were swelling so bad. I finally left the bathroom and walked back over to my dad and told him that I thought I had an allergic reaction or something. Right about then, I started having trouble breathing. My windpipe was totally constricted and my chest felt really tight..so we left. In the car, I looked at my legs and they were covered in hives. Almost everywhere on my body had big nasty red swollen hives that itched like crazy. So we went to urgent care.

When I got there, they looked at me right away because we said I was having trouble breathing, which I was. Almost as soon as I got in the room, a doctor came in and said the nurse was going to give me some shots. In my hips. Wonderful. The one on the right barely hurt and I didn't even feel it, but the one on the left..good god! It hurt so freaking bad, and it continued to hurt really badly for about half an hour afterwards. It was nice. But at least it made the symptoms mostly go away..I still couldn't breathe through my nose at all though, and I'm not even joking. It was like I didn't even have a nose. Not fun.

Turns out the shot in my left hip was some steroid and I got a prescription for more of those, only in pill form. Much better than stupid painful shots. But I'm mostly alright now, I just feel like crawling into bed and dying. For some reason I'm really fatigued and I don't feel up to doing anything at all except sleeping. I guess my homework won't get done for a while..oh well.

So that's my story. I wonder if my team won..I left fifteen minutes into the game. I feel kind of bad, because Jeff and Bill were asking me if I thought I would be okay to go in later (and they said it like they really needed me), but there was no way I could have kept playing. Such is life.

Nothing as far as I know! I mean, I have the seasonal allergies and whatnot, but they aren't serious at all.
