Hi All,
Happy new year to you all!

i have found specialist, and seen them, they took blood for tests (
i think they must be restocking the blood banks with the ammount
they took!. Anyway, have been told am allergic to WASPS, and on a
scale 3, not sure what that means, but they are recommending me for
desentization I have got appointment
with GP friday, to talk were we go from here, i want to go to the
north pole cos i hear their are not to many wasps there, but i
must stay and fight, cos my partner Dawn says i must. The other day
2nd Jan we was out having a meal, when pillark here forgot my epipen
and low and behold guess who can to can to lunch MR WASPY.

I was
very brave i only retreated about 50yards, ( i couldn't get any more
there was a brick wall in the pub i couldn't get through) but MR
WASPY went on has way and so did we to get my pen, that was the
first time i have ever left my pen anywere and last i hope, strange
feeling you have of security from something i dread to use.

Sorry am rambling on again, will be intouch soon.

Good Luck all

Rick
