Snaps for being sick

Sep 13, 2005 22:51

So I have a story for you. But, I am forewarning you that it isn't as good as Gretchens. Although, it has to do w/ my disappearing act the last few days. It's quite magical!

It all began on the day of Satur.  I woke up w/ a sore throat.  I just thought it was the common cold.  As the day went on, my throat became worse.  It was to the point where I had trouble breathing.  I started coughing profusely on top of things. Of course, my cough got worse (much much worse).  I ended up going to the emergency room.  Why you ask?  Well, it's probably because I started coughing blood. Yeah, fun!  So I went straight in and met with the doctor immediately.  He gave me this medicine that looked like vomit, seriously.  It was the most disgusting thing I have ever drank.  Ew, I am grossed out just thinking abou it!  Anyways, that made me stop coughing and actually made my throat feel better.  After many tests, the doc came to a conclusion that I had acute sinusitis.  Basically, I have a horrible sinus infection.  There was so much drainage built up in my throat that it became extremely irritated.  Eventually, making it raw and therefore the coughing and bleeding began.  I came home from the hospital and crashed.

Woke up Sunday morning, and I felt worse.  Well all the built up drainage left my throat and went into my chest.  So, not only was my throat killing me, I had severe pain in my chest.  Oh and a great amount of pressure in my head.  I started the antibiotics and decongestants and had hope that I would be feeling better.  But, I did not.  Not even in the slightest bit.  Then Sunday night and into Monday morning I became extremely sick (i.e. vomiting).  The chance of me going to school was slim to none.  Woke up Monday, and felt ten million times better.  Um, I wish.  Yeah I felt once again worse.  Throat, chest, and head became worse.  This time went to Redi-Med.  Things weren't supposed to get worse!  This doctor thought that I also had acute sinusitis.  But he also though that I had strep throat.  What a freakin combo!  He told me to stay on the meds and I should feel much better soon.

Woke up Tuesday, and things grew complicated. Yes, more complicated than things already were.  I had tremors and dizziness to add to the list of "Things wrong w/ Katie" list.  Another trip to good old Redi-Med.  This time the doc says I am having an "adverse reaction to the medication".  So the antibiotic I was on provided me with convulsions and dizziness.  And the doc said that decongestant I was on triggered them and made them worse.  On top of that, the doctor said that tomorrow is going to be the worse day!

Hopefully I will make it to school tomorrow.  Keep your fingers crossed.

p.s. I miss everyone!
p.p.s. I miss school (weirded out)
