Shrimp = Death (Part 2)
Alright, so the day we have all been waiting for has finally arrived, I went to the Dr. and got my allergy results today. Yea! Turns out I am "highly" allergic to crab, shrimp, and lobster. I am "moderately" allergic to scallops, clams, blue mussels, and oysters.
The good news is there is a category above highly allergic, it is "very highly allergic"... Haha, sophisticated system, I know. So it could be worse!!! My Dr. said I still have to carry my epi-pen and chewable benadryl around with me always... but I should be able to make it to a hospital without dying if I ever ingest shrimp, lobster, or crab. So I guess the verdict is I am deathly allergic without my spiffy medication and with it, I still shouldn't take any chances...
A random aside, I asked my Dr. about imitation crab and she said it was fine, so I can eat cheap California rolls, but noting with real crab. :) WooHoo...

Well, I guess I am glad that you are just "highly allergic" rather than "very highly allergic". I wish you were not allergic at all, but we knew that you were. Don't go to Rockfish or Red Lobster, but you know that. Love ya dear!!!
