I love you, pneumonia<3

Ok so I don't have the flu. Here's my story. On Friday [October 29] I came home with a bad headache, and I was tired and gross feeling. I told my dad and he said my face was warm. ( We don't have a thermometer because my dog is 9 and still thinks she is 6months and likes to chew things :] )... So I didnt go trick or treating or to the party... bummer. So then on Saturday morning, I got up and was dizzy. And I had a cough out of nowhere... turns out I still had a fever and my headache came back. And every time I coughed, I thought my head was gonna explode. So this went on a few days, and I had a non-stop fever this whole week. No school this whole week. Well on Tuesday, my dad took me to the doctors and they told me I had a cold. Wtf? So I went home and slept. Then Wednesday I chilled out all day and watched Queen of the Damned 3847 times... I love the guitarist in his "band" in the beginning... with the long hair and the lip ring... mmm. Ok yeah, then Wednesday I asked to back over to my mom's... I don't think they would've caught this if I hadn't because my dad wanted me to go to school on Thursday. By Thursday, my back and chest was killing me every time I coughed. My mom took me to the doctor on Thursday [yesterday] and they still didn't know what was the matter... she wasn't hearing anything through the stethoscope (sp?)... the strep test came back negative... they stuck something up my nose, I guess they were testing for flu... negative. They wanted me to pee in a cup, but it wasn't working. So that was when the doctor decided I needed more serious tests... chest x-rays and bloodwork. Well, I hadn't gotten blood taken since I was what, like 3? And I don't like my doctor's... I don't know why. They just bother me... and yeah. That was when I screamed like a 2 year old. It was like the Exorcist... it wasn't even that I'm afraid of needles... I just don't like when those doctors handle them. But thankfully, they sent me to the hospital for the bloodwork and then I was okay. So when I left hell and went to the hospital next door... they had to take chest x-rays. They made me put on some gown... I kept putting it on wrong and then the guy yelled at me. They took them and sent me back to the doctor's ugh. We sat in there watching a soap opera for like a half hour and then they came in and told us to go back and get the blood work done... so we did. That was kind of fun actually... they were really cool. They took a lot of blood though. Well then I finally got to go home... and they called back and said I have silent pneumonia... because they couldn't hear it in my chest but it showed up in the x-ray and bloodwork. So that was my week, how is everybody else?
