I couldn't get back to sleep until about 5.30a or so.. Was mildly hallucinating that I could feel the Benadryl working. Finally got to sleep.. slept through two alarms.. got up about 8.30a to head to work.

The Bennies are definitely working. The painful swelling is reduce and it no longer looks like my lip is going to burst and spew forth some foul liquid. I took two more with some gatoraide. Hopefully the fluids disperse more.

So yes, I am alive.
