So, back in the day, Chellie and I were married. I can vouch for the experiences she talks about in this piece. I can't count the number of emergency rooms I've been in with her, because of her allergic reactions. (Fortunately, most ER waiting rooms have vending machines with good junk food!) To this day, I sense her fea tor when ordering at a restaurant. Luckily, some

waiters, restaurant managers, and chefs take the allergy issue very seriously. Others, not so much. I hope this piece resonates with you, no matter what trust issues you may have

Thank you for the validation and smile. Yes, you have eaten your fair share of junk food while I have been hooked up to IV's. Thank you for being my best friend and my hospital buddy (always).

It is so hard to live with dangerous allergies. You deal with the issue very well.
