Today, after an 8-month wait, I went on my big vacation. The beach, the sea, the dive, the jellyfish, the allergic reaction, the hospital. FML

But if you work, you get paid. If you are in the hospital you are the one paying.

holy shit! you took a long time to recover! do people typically recover that long from sever allergic reactions to jellyfish though?? sorry hope you're all better, OP!

I think OP meant that they waited 8 months to go on said vacation. :)

Better than a sting from a box jellyfish - that one will kill you. But even an ordinary jellyfish sting hurts like hell and can send you into shock.

I thought exactly the same thing! If they were holidaying in Australia they might be a lot worse off!

I hope this happened at the start of your holiday so you have time to recover and enjoy the rest of your time away!

Feel better soon OP! Time shall heal them wounds. On a side note, I also have to applaud your sentence structure on this one. One of the best written FMLs.

At least you are alive to have the reaction? The trip could have ended with your family writing it instead of you. If it is a common breed of jellyfish, consider investing in one of the full body bathing suits similar to what divers wear if you go to the area often. That, and ask about whether you need to keep a medication for the allergic reaction on you for future beach trips. Make sure the allergy gets documented, too- put your allergies on a card in your wallet and/or purse, so medics have a starting point in the future in case you are nonresponsive.

Even though OP made it out safely, it still sucks that this happened on a trip they've been waiting eight months for. I also don't think OP needs to spend hundreds of dollars on an expensive diving suit, this was obviously just an unfortunate incident.

Maybe you should pray to Jesus to show you how to spell"and".

I'd rather thank the EMTs and the hospital staff for being good at their jobs and helping you recover.
