last night jamie and i were lying on top of his bed having a rant at how shit bits of our relationship were in time for valentines day & i had this massive sudden headache but it died after a bit. a while later, i had this stomach cramp and took the biggest shit ever, but then my head started pounding again. i kept feeling faint and suddenly cold. it was fucked. jamie took me to cabrini just to be told that there'd be a 205 buck consulting fee if we were there and they'd charge us extra if they took any blood tests or ct scans. so we went to the alfred in prahran. we waited for a couple of hours, my head kept getting worse and the 2 panadeine the triage nurse gave me helped for a few minutes and my head started pounding again. when i got to the emergency ward finally, i had this drip put into my arm and 4 tubes of blood removed. by this stage i was deeply in distress. doc told me my brain could be bleeding and if the ct scan wasn't showing anything and i was still feeling pain after the trinidol then they'd stick this needle into my spine to remove fluid. i was crying and jamie kept sitting there looking worried and we kept trying to pass the time doing the fiendish sudokus in the book i gave him a while back. the worst part of it was the ct scan. they made me take my industrial out because it'd interfere with the radiation, but i could keep every other piercing in. which kinda sucked cos that's the newest one. after the scan, the irish nurse that was looking after me took about 15 minutes of prodding to get the piercing back into my ear :( but yeah.
i'm ok now. we pulled an all-nighter in the hospital and it was fucked. i really hope my head doesn't feel this bad for a long time, and if it does, i damn well hope my brain doesn't bleed. ever. :S
