For those of you with shellfish allergies or any medical conditions....please read on this could save your life...and potentially my last post....

As I am sitting here with my face severely swollen up look like I stuck my face in a bee hive I am writing this post. I am currently sitting in my car in front of a Starbucks while waiting on my son to get out of his graduation dance party. Keep in mind that before I dropped him off at the party I had cooked some shrimp scampi for part of our dinner. I know that I am allergic to shellfish but it has never been this bad! Just look at this picture :

Now I know I am not the most handsome man but this is just ridiculous! This is honestly one of the most scary moments of my life it feels like I have a python constricting my neck and I am just struggling to breath. Fortunately (I think) my son's mother is with me and she happened to have 2 caps of benedryl with her and I immediately took them. I am still sitting in my car now in front of Starbucks waiting for my son's party to be over and hoping at the same time this swelling would subside!

Wish me luck! If you don't see my posting again there's a good chance I am with god.

What I want you guys to take away from this is if you have any type of medical needs....MAKE SURE to carry your medications with you!!!!

I hope to see you guys again...

Praying for u Bill..

thank u I am still sitting here...as I can't breath through my nose completely..

this is honestly scary...I am not kidding...I can't even speak...

You need to go to your closest Emergency room that type of reaction can be deadly and that isn't a way for your son to celebrate his graduate for his dad to ignore he needs medical attention that killed him. Go to the Emergency please so they can reverse this. This is more than benedyrl can fix.

I have a food allergy that has nearly killed me twice in my lifetime. I am allergic to Onions. When the swelling like that happens I don't mess around
