so last night i feel horrilbe ive got a spinning migraine and my lower back feels like thers a thousand needles in it and im all sad emotionaly because theres a bunch of shit going on..
so today i wake up at 4 in excruseratioing pain and my mom like hears me i guess i was like screaming or something and gives me sleeping pills and tylenol. then she wakes me up about 1 30 in the afternoon i still feel horrible so she calls this nurse line an the woman starts freaking out she thinks i have meningitis.
she told my mom i needed to go to a emergency room now. so we wnet to medicall. and the doctor ther was all freaked out too and told us to go to the ER so we did. and he called ahead so we didnt have to wait. it was nice. but i had to go to two differnt rooms and wear this blue mask because i was contagious it was so gay. but we were ther for a good seven hours there. it wasnt fun. i had thsi IV in my arm the whole time and i didnt know that when you have yuor arm bent it dosent go in to your blood so for like half the time i didnt get and y pain killer it sucked. but i was pretty drugged up by the time i left.
i had to get another cat scan i hate those things and i had my iv attached to the little movey bed thing and i thoguh it was gonna rip out i wasas liike noo and freaking out but it didnt so im good. so after they had the cat scan my mom and dad [he had to come i guess.. i wasnt to thrilled..]talked to the docter and werre like okay she needs a spinal tap.
and this shit ws very involved the most uncomfortable thing ive ever done. oye it sucked. it took about a half hour of my sitting in the most uncommy position with a long thin needle in my lower back not really my idea of fun. but whatever. so after that i had to lay still for a half hour witch turned ninto an hour and an hour and a hallf and then thay got the lab work back and i didnt have menigenitus just a virial infection but i have to take three differnt pain meds.. so i guess it will be a while before im up and running normal again.
i just wanted to say that because it reminded me of how shit could be worse.. and how it was a scary experience but the people who lost family memvbers and friends on 9/11 must have gone thru so much worse.
