Secret cheese & Spiders

[fbhjr]

I’m still not sure what happened Sunday morning. But, about 2AM I thought
I felt something go into my ear. This woke me up and worried me quite a
bit.
I tried to tell if something was in my ear, but couldn’t. I tried a Qtip
to get anything out, but didn’t get anything. And, of course, the more I
poked at it, the less normal it felt.
I kept trying to back to sleep, but I just couldn’t relax while worried.

Finally about 5AM I used a kids cup with a spigot we had in the kitchen to
fill my ear with water. That at least let me fall asleep. And, I slept to
8AM. That is very late for me.

Sunday after practice we went to the pizza place near there. I order the
same thing every time. Chicken parmesan sub, no cheese. (Yes, I know that
isn’t parmesan any more. But, it is the easiest way to order it.)
When it came it was very hot. So, my first bite I immediately took a big
drink of grape soda to keep my mouth from boiling.
The second bite tasted strange to me.
I opened the sandwich and looked. Cheese.
“Wait, don’t eat it!” the woman who worked there shouted. “I made it
wrong!”
She took it away and got me one that didn’t have cheese.

Milk products have two effects on me.
If there is enough of it I get very bad headaches, fever and itchiness all
over. The closer the milk is to pure and fresh the more problem I have
with it. Usually if it is cooked or processed otherwise I don’t get this
effect unless I eat a whole lot of it.
This happens very fast. Some times before the item in question leaves my
mouth.

The second problem, and I’m led to believe more common, is I can’t digest
it. This is true of it in all states, cooked or not. My body seems to
know it can’t digest it and has a “get it out of here” reaction to it.
But, this doesn’t happen until it is in process and at that point it is too
late for it to go out the way it came in. So, it shows up 4-6 hours later
depending on the quantities and such.

The question was: would two bites, granted large ones, of cheese on a sub
be too much.

I hoped not. I was still very tired from the spider scare the night before.
On the way home, we stopped at the pharmacy and I bought one of those ear
plungers for kids and used it on my ear just in case.

Then just about the time I was going to go to bed I got my answer.
Yes.
It was enough.
Sad.

Two and a half hours of having it play traffic cop in my intestines saying
“nothing to see here, move along” to everything in front of it was not a
fun evening.

But, when I finally fell asleep. No worries of spiders kept me awake.

I'm so sorry for you. Hopefully this evening, after the worries of work,spiders and the evils of dairy, you will be able to sleep.

So sorry you had to go through the effects of cheese and the spider scare

So sorry about the dreaded secret cheese attack.
That woman at the restaurant should at the very LEAST have given you a refund for your dinner.

She charged me for a small when I ate a large.
So, I got a discount.

Well, that is something, along with your side order of intestinal eruption, I'd still say that she did not feel an adequate amount of "pain" for the suffering that she caused.

Since the effects continued with me most of the day as my system rebalanced, I tend to agree.

Damn you Secret Cheese Woman!!!!!!

We were watching ST:III TWOK - I can see Ricardo, dying on the floor of the Intrepid calling out..

Fortunately, you did not succumb to your injuries and are ready for another sequel!
{edit - oops, too many IIIIIIIIs up there...]

You mean Star Trek II and the Reliant, right?

[evrgreen.livejournal.com]

Yup! you are right of course!

That's what happens to me when I am trying to write on forums/weblogs at the same time that I am trying to write new code.... now please excuse me as I'm now certain that I've messed up some bit shifting in my DAC algorithms..

UGH. I felt bad for you, knowing what it's like to have a similar disagreement, my case of course being my tree nut allergy.

Depending on the nut and a variety of factors, I can end up with an upset stomach and/or dry heaves and/or extremely itchy/watery Eyes nose, throat
Worse case...well we don't go there.

I saw you starting to eat the sammich and I thought it strange you'd order a chicken parm b/c of the cheese
but figured you just ordered chick cutlet w/ marinara sauce (aka chick parm no parm)

I'm glad that your reaction, while not fun, was not any worse than it was, and, did not happen while you were driving.
