Did you Know: Allergies can come and go ?

Did you Know: Allergies can come & go ?

Yesterday I proved I love my son.
How?
By going to his doctors appointment.

My son was sent to a specialist in Sarasota Florida to have a specialist look at him. He has high level of allergies and we were sent there to find out more. To be honest I thought it was a waste of time but - I love my son - and my relationship with my wife. So I went.

I spent $233 dollars to find out basically - “nothing I already didn’t know”..
Though I admit I was hoping the test would say he was allergic to dogs and it would solve the “jasper” dog issue [ I don’t hate the dog - just don’t want him ].

The Doctor gave my son this very expensive test that caused him to cry and amounted to just dabbing liquid on him to see how his skin reacts [ as proof of allergic reaction ]. Well, after the crying and me trying to keep him from scratching test area - we learned that he is allergic to the things we already new about or suspected. Except for cat - I didn’t know he was allergic to cats [ darn - wish it was dog ]....

So How do I know I love my son:
* I drove almost three hours to go and three hours to come home
* I spent way to much on a stupid test that had false positives [ he eats peanuts ]
* I spent $40 dollars in gas and $40 on dinner [ went to Perkins - nice, but food to greasy ]
* And, what did I learn, how did it help my son ? - nothing....
* Oh, did I mention the torrential rain storm I drove thru - that was fun !

I did learn that Allergies can come and go at whim. I’m allergic to lobster and shrimp [ and according to studies ] that allergic reaction could one day just disappear. The bad side to this equation is: you can eat something all your life and one day wake up to find you are now allergic to it - God I hope I never get allergic to coffee… I would die without my three or four cups a day dose…….

I also learned a funny joke while at the Doctors office:

What word has the most letters in it?

Give up...

" Mail Box "

Get it, letters, mailbox [ ok I was bored, it was funny at the time ]
