SCARY-ASS STORY

...I'm so glad you're okay! [hugs] What a bastard of a thing to happen around Christmas...although when it comes to driving and accidents, in my experience the only way to get back behind the wheel is to do it as soon as possible. The longer you leave it, the harder it gets. Obviously don't do it TOO soon, but don't think too long on it. Nobody would drive at all if they actually realised what they're cruising around at speed in.

I have had a semi-minor car accident, but the closest I've come to actually being in danger was when I was almost swept out to sea in a rip as a ten year old -- but that's not exactly uncommon around home. ;; I've only ever been in situations where I felt uneasy...the danger itself wasn't making itself apparent. (I also remember walking around the air outflow system on the roof of the reduction lines of an aluminium smelter; this was fine until I realised the pipe I was on (bore about two metres) didn't have a catwalk and the metal of it was corroded in places and bending under my feet. If I had fallen into it, the velocity of the air would have sent me straight into the scrubbers. Which would have killed me rather messily. After that, I stuck to the catwalks, no matter how inconvenient it could be...)

One year ago I had an allergic disorder, and I started being allergic to things that i wasn't before and visceversa. One day i was sick (it was authum, it's pretty normal catching a cold) and my mother gave me an aspirin. When she returned from job I was still in bed, inflated and purple, my eyes were red as the Touga's hair (bleeging nose and ears) and I was practically dead. My mother took me to Urgencies, I was concious, I remember to see me in the mirror and not recognizing myself, the people were looking at me terrified by the street and curious, most of them were staring for pure morbidity. When we come to Urgencies, my sight clouded over completely, I started to cry, i was very afraid. I couldn't hear what my mother was saying me anymore and i couldn't speak, then I fainted. The next thing that i remember is being in a hospital bed, they revived me and injected me "cortizona" (don't know the word in english). After that, I spent 2 weeks in bed recovering my original aspect.

(congrats, 100 messages D: !)

Don't know, allergies are so werid, i'm allergic to 123948547 things, but the deadly ones are the allergies to meds, if you are allergic to apples, then you'll just throw up. But if you are allergic to a med, you'll have a shock in not more than 24hrs.

I have a plethora (three...) stories of myselfalmost dieing, or being seriously injured, wouldnt know... Anyway the first was when I was 4 or 5 andfell into a... puddle? The memory is strange, walking through a forest, fell into a puddle that was apparently taller then myself and one of my Dad's friends saved me. Then only last  year I fell flat face into a rock from about  feet up... but I felt no pain at all. Then again last year, I was riding down a shopping cart on a hill (Because I'm weird like that. Well the thing flips over half way down but I manage to roll out in time... of how I am unsure. I always felt very lucky in those kind of predicament's, except when I was young and the...puddle... thing.

Glad that all you got was a scare, Frosty. I can imagine that to be a rather shocking experience.

Never had a real near-death experience, myself - at least any that I've understood as such, but once, in high-school if I had gone to a certain shopping center a couple of hours later than I did, I might have been oneof the victims of a self-styled suicide bomber kid - you can do substatial damage to a building with common house chemicals, apparently...
Most stupidly, the guy possibly didn't even want to kill himself or anyone else, but his homemade bomb went off by itself. No conclusive evidence, either way...

My earliest memory is almost dying of a penicillin allergy when I was two, but I've had pretty good luck since then.

I got it in that chalky white liquid and up to this day I can't drink milk, coconut juice, or anything with cream. I think about it and throw up again.

IT HAPPEND AGAIN

I'm back from the hospital, another week without school, i look horrible. I really want to cry, i hate this i hate it!!!!

OH SO SORRY! ;_; Have they narrowed down what the cause of this reaction is yet? I assumed it was apirin, but if it's something else... are they running tests to decide what it is? Well, I hope that you get some solid information about what causing that soon, so you can protect yourself. Till then, take care... and I've seen your suit pics, SO CUTE, don't worry you'll be back to strutting your stuff in theater class soon. Get Well Soon!
