man, oh man
so i got absolutely nothing done today because i got hit by some crazy stomach bug.
it left me so weak and dehydrated and in so much pain because my stomach wouldn't stop cramping and spasming that my mom, God bless her, took me to the hospital, where i spent the day! yay!
IVs fucking hurt. and the nurses are really no nonsense. My mom got irritated because one nurse threatened to put a catheter in when i told her i couldn't pee because i was on the toilet all morning.
The other nurse told me that I needed to "be an adult" because she was sticking a catheter in my hand and it really hurt.
But once we got the ugly stuff done, the x-ray tech was nice enough to give me some warm blankets. She is officially, behind my mom, my favorite person.
For some reason my blood pressure is really low and i was really cold. I think my mom would have just had me stick it out and not brought me to the hospital, but my fingers were blue.
I guess that is pretty worrisome.
So after two bags of saline and some drugs they let me go home and I feel much better!
However, and this is the reason i am blogging, one of the medications they gave me does not mix well with alcohol.
This is only serious because i can't drink for the next13 days, which sucks for college functions, but not only that, I can't use mouthwash, eat maraschino cherries or put lotion on my body that contains alcohol.
crazy huh??? it's that serious.
