Allergies

So, we have a young kitten named Jellybean. She's about twelve or thirteen weeks old, and we had her spayed today. Poor Jellybean is crated for the night so she doesn't get hurt while she's still groggy from the anesthesia. She's still too groggy to stand straight, and I'm a little surprised they sent her home - when I called the vet at first, they said they wouldn't if she was still very groggy. I guess she must have been very sedated indeed the first time I called to check on her.

Anyhow, we went to the store once I got home from work this evening, and I must have had a terrible allergic reaction to something. Somewhere near the marshmallows and gluten free things, I started to get stuffed up, and by the time we got to the snack food, I was hardly breathing. We decided I needed allergy pills and went to that aisle instead. Chris ripped open a bottle and got me three out and I crunched the darned things because I needed them to work quickly (note to everyone: crunched/chewed diphenhydramine not only tastes like you'd expect but also burns like fire in your probably already-swollen throat).

The only thing I know I react to like that is cinnamon, and I didn't smell any. So now I'm all hopped up on generic pink allergy pills, and I'm not even 100% sure what triggered the reaction. Well, here's hoping it's not an entirely new allergy.
