Since I am sick today I will tell you a few of my weird sickness stories.
1. I had never really been to a dentist before about a year ago. I had been for check ups a few times but that was it. Well i finally got a cavity. My first one. I went in to get work done on it. apparently even on laughing gas i was upset enough to glare at everyone anyway. ( I don't remember doing this) The dentist was scared of me so much so that he pulled Eric aside and said "Give her this when she comes back in a week"
It was a script for Adavan.
The next week i took the Adavan before going in. They put me under laughing gas again. All i remember about the actual visit was the apprentice dentist telling him to leave more room for flossing in between my teeth and them telling me to remember to breathe. I hold my breath alot naturally so i can only imagine how i am medicated.
After the dentist appointment when we pulled up to the house i was so out of it i said "Don't I have a dentist appointment to get to soon?"
Later that night i shot my first set Which explains alot about the set.
2. Was in Urgent Care for a migraine. The nurse wanted to stick me in the butt. I pleaded with him not to. He said "We won't be friends in the morning if i shoot you in the arm."
I said "Well we aren't friends now so it wont matter anyway."
I gave in and he gave me the shot. He left and came back a while later.
My head felt better and i was loopy from the meds. "Are we friends now?" He asked.
"Sure" I said dreamily.
3. I had a really bad case of pneumonia when i was younger. I don't remember ever being so cold. i as under ten blankets and it still felt like i was laying naked in the snow. My lips had turned white and they rushed me to the hospital. When we got there they put me in a wheel chair because i couldn't stand up straight. The doctor decided he wanted x rays of my lungs.
The machine that they had for such x rays you had to stand up to use. They asked me if i could do it and I nodded. I stood up in front of the machine it was the worst pain ever and I lost my balance and fell. So they held me up while they took the x rays. It hurt like none other.
When they got the x rays back they realized the shirt i was wearing had metal in it. The metal had destroyed the x ray. I had to go back for another round. *Tears*
This time they took off my shirt and held me up. Yet again it sucked.
When the x ray came back it showed that I had way way too much fluid in my lungs. The doctor is telling my mom this. They are discussing how worried they are about me. all of a sudden i pipe up with (I'm half out of it and the doctor was a babe) "I normally don't look this bad. I'll come back and show you" And then i passed out.
4. At ground level they make door stoppers. They have metal springs and a little piece of plastic at the tip to cover the metal. This makes it so that when the door hits it it springs back and doesn't hit the wall. Well at my old house we used to have one like this. The door rang one day and i went to answer it. Well the floor was wet and i slid from one end of the hall all the way towards the door.
The metal door stop was missing its plastic tip and the metal sliced right into the bottom of my foot. I stood up hopping on one foot and answered the door. My friend came in and i hobbled to the table and propped my foot up. ( I don't really cry when I'm hurt. I assess first. use the shock and moment before the pain to decide what to do.)
This gash was huge! and it was bleeding everywhere. When we went to the hospital we waited forever to see someone. When the Nurse Practitioner came in he was shocked at how much it was bleeding and that they had let me sit out there that long. He starts to clean everything up. Then pauses. "You did bring me the money up front didn't you?" He asked. "Uh no." I said. He shrugged and said "Okay for that you get a bigger needle." I thought it was a cute joke to keep my mind off the pain. When the time came to numb my foot for stitches the guy leaves comes back and says "Now this is what happens when people cross me" then he pulls out the biggest needle i had ever seen in my life. my eyes went wide and i started to argue but he sat down and shoved it into my foot. In my opinion that is just wrong. But i also thought he was the coolest nurse ever at the time. He even lined up the little finger print marks on the bottom of my foot exactly. You cant tell that i had a huge gash down my foot. He was probably the best and worst Nurse i had ever had. But seriously the whole needle thing was fucked up. ( He probably needed to use that gauge) But still.
5. I had something in my hand that felt like someone had placed a very very small marble under my skin. I went to the doctor. He looked at it and they ran a few blood tests. Then he comes back sits me down and tells me that it was highly likely that i had cancer. He's being serious here looking me straight in the eye. I couldn't help it i just started cracking up laughing. That's the first time I remember doing it but every time i get bad news from a doctor or poked with a needle i always start cracking up laughing. and not just a little giggle.
I went to a specialist to get it removed. it was tiny enough to just have a local anesthetic in my hand . The spot that they had used the anesthetic on hadn't numbed right before he started working. It hurt so bad but i was laughing the whole time.
5.
You know when your a kid and no matter how sick you are you just want to be able to get up and play? Yeah, this was like that. I have the stomach flu.
Unfortunately however Im not a kid anymore and i have to try not to be sick. Yesterday was very boring. I was in and out of it all day.I was supposed to have a birthday dinner with my mom yesterday because she will be out of town for my birthday. but i was too sick to go *tears* All i did was lay in bed while everyone else did things. I was even too sick to play WOW!!!
Now that is pretty damn sick.
Here is a list of all the foods i will no longer eat:
1. Mac and Cheese
2. Rumbies
3. Rice
4. An assortment of veggies
5. Chicken Alfredo
6. ( Water hated me too)
Here is a list of the things that saved me:
1. Sprite.
2. A concoction of my moms... You take a jello packet and mix half of it with a glass of room temp water. Then you drink some to coat your tummy and help it settle. Works SOOOO well.

All I can offer up is an idiot doctor that couldn't diagnose strep for 2 weeks. I couldn't eat, hardly slept, lost 15 pounds when I didn't have it to lose. ER doc nailed it right away. She was hot. I gladly showed off my rear.
Too sick for WoW? wow. I mean, yikes!
Try to stay healthy now, ok?
Can't wait to see the posy laughing gas set!
