so, i am not sure if i told you this or if any of you know but since about sunday night i have been rather sick. it started out with a headache.
by monday, it escalated to muscle pains and nausea making it difficult to eat and difficult to think clearly.
tuesday i had still not eaten anything and the only thing that i could keep down was water. i finally had the chance to get out of work early so i went home and slept forever.
yesterday, the pain was unbearable. i had slept but occasionaly through the night i would shiver as if i was cold but i was covered in about five big blankets. odd. maybe it WAS the flu...maybe it was west nile. i called the hospital and spoke to a nurse for advice. she told me that with my condition it sounded like west nile and that i should actually go into the emergency room. i left work to go home and called kymest to take me to the hospital since i was in a cold sweat and my head wouldnt let me think clearly. instead of going to the emergency room, i decided to go to the walk in. the pain was unbelievable but i didnt think it would result in absolute death.
after waiting forever, i was checked out by a nurse and asked to sit down to wait for a doctor to see me. i waited and was called back to be checked out. i was examined and asked a lot of questions. after going through all of the run-throughs, it was determined that i had an infection in my body. but where...?
the doc continued saying that it was in one of two places. it was either in the chest area or somewhere in my brain. (FUCK!)
i was taken down to radiology for some x-rays and whatnot and then i was told to wait in another room. it seemed like forever. things ran through my mind....'is this it?'
the results came back and in a somewhat sigh of relief i was told that the infection was in fact in my lungs and not in the innerworkings of my brain matter. i guess there is a lot of fluid and scar tissue from the infection. i would need medications, rest, and water. i am not supposed to be doing anything for at least a week. just rest.
i called my dad to tell him exactly what was going on and his reply was '0h, so its a cold. ok. so you gonna be in tomorrow then right?'
IDIOT!
no. i just explained that its an INFECTION IN MY LUNGS. *PAYOW BEE-HOTCH!
'oh...so its a flu?'
*SCREAMS.
anyway, so here i am alive and well, for the mean time. i gotta keep up on my meds for about a week. if it doesnt work out after that then i will have to have some 'alternative' remedies, which i am guessing would be some type of surgery or something. i dunno. anyway, hopefully everything works out alright and i get this shit over with.
you know...those minutes passing by hoping i didnt have a brain problem really made me think.
