DR Michael S. I suggest you begin carrying Benadryl with you just in case you have another reaction.  I buy the Tylenol PM caplets & cut a few in half, reducing the dosage & the chance I’ll fall asleep when I don’t want to.

It might be a good idea to do so, but I don't plan to eat that again. Tylenol PM is way too powerful. Even cutting it in half it zonks me out the next day. I use it when I battle insomina

UPDATE

I read additional postings after I posted the above.

I should clarify I no longer use Tylenol PM as a sleeping aid.
But I would be affraid to use it would put me to sleep just as the Benedryl did

I completed my evening viewing with tonight's TORCHWOOD episode. Some creepy stuff and big cliffhanger ending making it maddening to have to wait until tomorrow night for some answers. Argh!

Argh indeed!  I've been keeping my lips (and fingertips) sealed since I don't want to give anything away!

Tonight I finished up with the final three episodes of Season Two, and needed kleenex through each of those episodes!

Yep, they were heart-wrenching indeed. Big surprises!

We had a huge thunderstorm while I was trying to get my TOWERING INFERNO review written and uploaded. I know I SHOULD have shut off the computer and waited, but I wanted to get it done. I was saving everything like mad as I was going in case there was a power outage.

And now I'm really feeling exhausted, so I'm heading downstairs to go to bed.

Good night!

DR Michael S - Glad to hear that your feeling and looking better. Is it possible that your allergic reaction was the result of something you ate before the chicken cacciatore?  Or is it possibly you may have gotten bit by something?  I know I've had "surprise" reactions from big bites before.

DR Michael S - do you know what caused your reaction so that you can avoid it in the future?  Hope you're feeling better today!

I really didn't know what caused it. There was frighteningly way too many ingredients on the package for what was supposed to be chicken catchatorre (sp?) But it had to be something or a combination of ingredients that caused it

Alas, most packaged foods have frighteningly way too many ingredients. :-\

I did speak to DR elmore earlier this afternoon.  He's doing OK, and he even got out of his apartment for a little while today to run down to the store.  He has a doctor's appointment in the morning, and, hopefully, a more definite diagnosis will be able to be made.  -At the very least, he and his doctor are hoping the that x-ray lab finally sends over his x-rays which were taken last week.

As for myself, I spent most of today in a fog.  Lots of unexpected napping.  But I feel OK.  I guess I just needed the down time.  ???

Thanks for the correct spelling :-)

I did not have anything to eat prior and I do not believe I was bitten.

It started off with a headache (Thought it might be a reaction to MSG) took two generic headache pills.

Then I had trouble seeing I was doing a crossword puzzle. The arm started to shake and I really felt lousy. I didn't know the left side of my face was distorted until a co-worker told me. Went to the bathroom to put water on my face and the next thing I knew I was looking up at the ceiling. After I got up is when I decided to seek medical attention.

I hope it was the first and only time this will happen to me.

On a related health note...

It's been a bit "scary" reading up on the latest outbreaks of the Swine Flu in various parts of the country.  My brother, Mike, who works at Coast Guard HQ in DC was telling me about the outbreak affecting the current class of "swabs" - first years - at the Coast Guard Academy: 30 confirmed cases so far.  The Air Force Academy has also reported 103 cases among their incoming cadet class. And the NIH started their "volunteer" program today for the latest vaccine.  So...

Stay healthy everyone!

DR Michael S - You're welcome.

Since a part of your face was affected, you may want to do a spot check to see if you have any sort of bite.  However, was the chicken cacciatore you ate a frozen meal? If so, you may want to give the company's consumer hotline a call to report your allergic reaction - and also to see if they might know of any possible allergens in the meal.

Did the doctor(s) check your blood pressure?

I'm planning a quick jaunt to Pittsburgh to see COPACABANA next Thuirsday.  It's a show I've long wanted to see, and the main review (by critic Alice Carter) seems to find it very entertaining.

Today's visit to ICU was kind of a downer.  No change for John, except they have him upright in some kind of special chair.  His wife and daughters are pretty discouraged.

DR Ginny - After my mom had her bypass last fall, we were told that it could take anywhere from 48 hours to even two weeks for her to fully wake up after the surgery.  It's quite an invasive procedure, and quite a shock to the body.  To quote a cliché: Time heals all wounds.  Just give it - and him - time.

I wonder if they're still using the same set and costumes they used for their original production a few years.  Quite extravagant and quite appropriate.

*And I've always had a soft spot for "Just Arrived" - such a great "entrance" song. And "Copa Girl" is a great "old broad" song.

Morning, all.

It's supposed to be a hot and muggy day here in Manhattan. We are meeting a friend for lunch at

Maoz

an international "quick service" vegetarian establishment on Park Avenue South between 16th and 17th Streets (technically it's 38 Union Square East and to confuse things even more at 14th Street Park Avenue South turns back into the original street name 4th Avenue).

I've never been there but our friend is having health issues and prefers to eat veggie when possible so we will try it out with her.

The flagship sandwich is described thusly:

The famous Maoz sandwich is home baked pita bread filled with crispy, handmade Falafel balls which are made from chickpeas, a vitamin rich legume, packed with plenty of proteins, minerals and vitamin B. The chickpeas are blended daily with fresh spices and vegetables and then fried in zero trans-fat Canola oil.


Couldn't I just have a salad?

Actually, you can get a salad at Moaz, however, I believe they call it a "bowl" or a "box".  -Which was one of the things that confused me about the format of their menu.

Now, as for Brent Barrett, well... ???

Jose - I'll be flying, assuming the weather cooperates.

Any hotel recommendations in easy walking distance of the theater?  I'm thinking the Westin sounds nice.

DR Amy - Catching up on the Brothers Cassidy discussion from yesterday...

I really liked the short-lived series, "American Gothic", that Shaun Cassidy created.
