Enjoy your family, life & cigar because you never know......

Rewind to last Thursday evening. Sitting out back shooting the shit with y'all. Log out, toss a couple of filets on the grill and have a wonderful dinner. The wifey bakes up some Macadamia nut cookies. I don't eat a lot of sweets, but if I'm going to have a cookie, that's the one for me. Chomp a couple of them with a dose of milk. A minute later I start to itch on my back, and start getting a dose of hives. I take a couple of Benedryl. By the time I get those down my tongue starts to swell. I tell the wifey to get my narrow azz to the hospital. By the time we get there, air is at a premium. My tongue is now swelling outside of my mouth and according to my wife, it looks like I have two baseballs in my neck. They run me straight in and start hitting me with Epi pens STAT. Still fighting for sweet sweet air. They try to bag me, but I'm too swollen to bag. They are trying to get a boot/tube up my nose, but are having trouble with that also. The freekin' lights are flickering on my ass and I'm doing my best to not die a horrible death in front of my wife as I didn't want that to be the last thing she remembers about me, as I discovered that when you can't breathe, you want to flop around like a fool. I kept thinking that I need to die a peaceful death in front of her. Next thing is there's a surgeon getting ready to trach my neck. I heard my wife say not to and I'm thinking, trach me, trach me, trach me! About that time, they finally get the boot up my snoot and sweet sweet air comes slowly into my lungs. I got a three day stay at the most expensive hotel in the city. I guess I'm saying enjoy every day as you can have something as simple as a friggin cookie take you out......

All is good except for a sore ass tongue and nostril. I'm sure my tongue was pressed against my toofus pretty hard as the sides are sore as hell. The cigar I had tonight kind of got my tongue, but I didn't care as I'm alive. Didn't try to snork......

Wow - crazy story David but glad to hear you are still with us buddy ! I assume you've had them before without any reaction so very strange it hit you this time. Take it easy and don't make any comments to your wife.
That being said I would definitely tell my with I survived her attempt on my life lol. Then I'd get to say "yes, but I'm YOUR jerk honey"

I've had Macadamia nut cookies and nuts all my life, so it's an ass scratcher. I'm afraid to scratch my own nuts right now......

[Brimy]

Sorry to hear of you trial!
VERY glad to hear that things worked out and that you are still around to shoot the sh*t with us.
Be well Brother and hope that you're around with us for a ling time to come.

[Bruck]

Wow, glad you pulled through & with minimal brain damage

Scary stuff. I had an anaphylactic reaction once from eating clams, so I'll never eat mollusks or shellfish again. Not quite as bad as yours - got to the hospital in time before the throat started closing up.

[Emperor Zurg]

Wow, reading ur story I thought you were going to say a CIGAR gave you that awful reaction! How awful would that be?
Glad you made it you scrawny Chinaman. Don't go tempting death again. I'm still hoping to see pics of piles of crappie one of these days.

[TCBSmokes]

Quite the scary episode!! Gasping for AIR yet all the while you're thinking of your wife's feelings. A good man you are. Glad you made it and no more 🍪's !! With those nasty macadamias, anyway. Better yet, Stick with Cigars as apparently they are much safer for you.
