Ok, did I call it or what? Ok, so so did 90% of the rest of America, but that’s not the point! Next week’s contestants didn’t look quite as good as this week’s but we’ll see.
Scott is working all weekend and Mom and Dad are coming to visit on Friday. My sister is coming Saturday afternoon and spending the night. Yeah! I get visitors all weekend! Scott and I really don’t have any plans since he is working. We might do something late Sat since we will have a built in babysitter!
I completely forgot to go help with AWANA at church tonight. Oops.
Scott had his big allergy appt today. He is allergic to almost everything he was tested for. Weeds, grasses, trees, dogs, cats, even cockroaches. We went and bought an air purifier, mattress and pillow covers. Mattie is restricted from the bedroom. I have to do the vaccumming and dusting that is “required” twice a week. Scott has to go get a cat scan Monday to see if he has a sinus infection since his polyps have not reduced as much as the dr. wanted. And, the kicker is he has to go on allergy shots for the next couple of years. Now this is the whole shabang. Scott obviously does not have to do any of this if he doesn’t want. I mean, the worse reaction he has is sneezing and a constant stuffy nose. But the way I look at it, a lot of these steps are just healthy for the rest of us and as far as the shots, there is a possibility he will reduce or eliminate his allergies completely if he does them then he does not have to worry about it at all and he will have a clear nose. This is all sort of old hat after living with my sister who has terrible allergies and has all kinds of effects from them. Growing up she could never have mushrooms, now her allergies have changed so that she is not allergic to mushrooms, but tomatoes, grapes, apples, wheat, corn, dust, trees, etc, etc. She is allergic to so much that she just has to deal with the consequences or she would not be able to live. And she does have bad reactions. She has a somewhat rare condition where if she is having an allergic reaction and scratches herself, she welts up and looks like someone has beat her. She also gets really bad “stomach” problems when she eats something she’s not supposed to. So, a stuffed up nosed to Scott seems minor.
