Yesterday was such an AWFUL day. . . I was at Windber Hospital for my clinical rotation for nursing school and I was scheduled to be in ASU (Ambulatory Services) for the day to observe. Well everything was going fine and I was in the room watching this lady get these growths cut off her face. I don't know if it was because I didn't eat breakfast and my blood sugar was low, or the fact that I've been nauseated for the past few days or what, but I started feeling dizzy and like I was about to pass out. I never completely passed out before so I figured if I just started taking deep breathes I would be fine.... I was SO WRONG. Next thing I know I'm waking up in some serious pain in a wheelchair in the ER downstairs with people around me asking simple questions that I didn't even know how to answer, like my family doctor and birthday and the year and such. I didn't even remember passing out or anything. So I was admitted and I had to get a cat scan done and a few tests done. Apparently I have a slight concussion with a massive migraine that won't go away. My whole right side of my body is sore. My cheekbone is swollen and black and blue, my ear was all bloody, my jaw hurts real bad that it hurts to eat, my elbow is bruised and so is my shoulder. And the messed up part is they only gave me two pain pills and this migraine headache won't leave!!! When I stand up I get dizzy and feel like I'm about to pass out and my head is killing me. I was going to go back to the hospital today to get checked out again and see if they can give me anything else for my head, but the weather really sucks. We had an ice storm all night and all morning and we're supposed to get a snow storm tonight. Not to mention I don't feel like driving today.

I just wish someone would come visit me and come lay with me in my nice cozy bed and watch some movies with me. School was cancelled and I'm oh so lonely and in desperate NEED of someone to comfort me. That would be soooo great right now.. any offers, haha!?

I'm probably just going to end up going to bed early and alone tonight, which sucks. Maybe tomorrow will be a better day and I can go out with my friends! That would be nice. Hopefully everyone else is having a better week!
