Clarification

It has been brought to my attention that I perhaps was a bit too presumptuous by indicating I had won the Groves football pool. This is incorrect as the game tomorrow could bump me back to second place. My apologies to my dearest Uncle Tom.

To add to this clarification, i thought I'd also include one last ridiculous event that happened last monday in the on-going saga of my blood clot. With still no resolution for my blood clot, I had one last test to have done, a CT Angiogram. I arrived expecting an hour wait as usual, but was surprised to be called back after just 15 minutes. All went well as she explained the procedure, put the iodine in my arm (which makes you feel like you're peeing your pants for those who have never had it!) and in 10 minutes, I was done. I departed for work and forgot all about the test. About an hour later, as I was sitting in my office, my neck and head started to itch. I didnt think much about it until it got to the point where my whole neck and back also started to itch. My boss walked in at that moment and looked at me and said..."uhh, what's going on with your face?" I pulled out my mirror and realized I had hives all over my face. LOVELY. Ahh yes, I remembered the conversation earlier that morning when the CT Tech noticed I was allergic to Shellfish and noted that "sometimes people who have shellfish allergies will have a reaction to the iodine." Isn't that my luck. I proceeded to beg my coworker for benedryl and contact my dial-a-nurse (also known as registry nazi) to see how long these hives would be on my face given I had was set to see all my HR co-workers from around the globe in 24 hours. Upon my return home, Ryan laughed at me and told me if we survived by natural selection, i'd be out of luck. Sigh. Tuesday morning most the hives were gone and the ones that weren't were covered up by makeup so I arrived to the conference looking fabulous as usual ;)
