Stomach virus, pregnancy-related congestion that's turning thick and tasty, and now ... Fat Man Ear.
And what, pray tell, is Fat Man Ear, you say?
Well, this is my normal right ear and cheek:
And this is what my left ear and cheek looked like this morning when I woke up:
Attractive, isn't it? I also have hives on the palms of my hands. The cause? Mr. P and I split a can of chicken noodle soup last night for dinner. Trying to be nice to our troubled tummies, you know. And canned soup often contains MSG. I've got a history of reactions to too much MSG -- for instance, overdosing on flavored chips or Chex Mix -- but half a can of soup? Ridiculous. It's actually happened one other time during this pregnancy, so I can only assume I'm super sensitive to it right now. Again, ridiculous.
I'm off to take an antihistamine.
