 Allergy Testing.

It has been discovered that I have an allergy to Peanuts and plants in the legume family, such as peas and beans.

Here are some of the tests I had to have.

This is my arm immediately after the nurse put the pins in my arm for the skin prick test.  I had to wait 10 minutes and by the end my arm was incredibly itchy.

Then on another of my tests I had to eat some specially made nut cookies.

All my testing is completed for now, and I know what I can and cannot eat.

Simple pleasures I love flying kites.

I know Christmas is nearly here when we have this visitor outside our house.
