13/08: Well this can't be good..
Circa 9pm I noticed I was scratching at the side of my face and my lip was getting puffy... this would be the bottom left size of my mouth.. almost at the corner of my mouth. After watching the episode of futurama the puffy was expanding..
I scoured google for a few... realized I had no Benadryl and just iced it.. a lot.. Got some drawing done... read my book (and iced it some more) until about 12.15am.
Woke up about 4am and the swelling was worse but localized to the whole bottom left lip from the corner to the middle. Yikes. Went on line to see if missed anything. It's now about three times larger than normal and a bit painful.
PC boots up and facebook starts... future brother in law was hammered and thinks it might be herpes. I jet out to get some Benadryl from the ol' walmart. I took two about eight minutes ago. (4.30am.) We'll see how this goes. If it's worse in two hours then Emergicare I go. I would prefer not to, but will if I have to. I would also prefer not missing the yankees game in KC this Saturday.
As far as I can tell the only thing consumed today (Thursday):
- lunch (11.30am) - elephant ear pork loin at the Crescent Moon.
- dinner was BW3 circa 7.15pm.. usual spicy garlic but I added six caribbean jerk (versus usual honey bbq).
My guess something in the jerk sauce is causing it.
I was a bit hot.. sweating subsided... I think the tablets are kicking in. Let's hope so.
For the record I am not having problems breathing (constricted throat) or tongue swelling.
If I die - let someone know the circumstances.
