i know it's cliche but you never really know how much life means to you until it is almost taken from you. Thursday night I had an allergic reaction to some medication that I had taken for a cold and woke up two hours later. I had never felt worse. I had about eight different things going on at once, all which would have been more than enough pain to bear by themselves. My throat itched like crazy. It felt like someone was stabbing it and there was nothing I could do about it. Same goes for my ears and eyes. My lips became numb and puffed up about three times their normal size. My voice dissapeared. I could barely get a whisper out. I was shaking uncontrollably and worse of all I couldn't breathe. My airway was closing up and I honestly felt like I was about to die. Thankfully, I was with Leah and she called 911 and the paramedics came and helped stabilize my breathing. I don't think I woulda made it like that for another hour. Everything and everyone started flashing through my mind and especially my family. I guess there is never a good time to go out but especially not when you havent really talked to them in over a month. Right now, I have a whole new meaning for life and I hope it doesnt change any time soon.
