Hospital Blues
Ok. So. here's the lowdown on my sickness. No, it wasn't like any other I've had.
Saturday night:
Courtney came over and we were having fun until I ate dinner and we were watching clips from Metrocon '05. At about 10 I hurled all over everyhting in my bathroom... and I mean everything... I even got it on the mirror and on my hairbrush. So I'm standing over the bathtub (yes bathtub because I couldn't make it in time for the toilet seat to be opened) and Courtney ran to get my mom. I got cleaned up and felt good for about 20mins and then everything just went downhill. Within the next two hours i was reduced to a pajama'd whimpering 13 year old, crying and wincing on my bed because of the stomach pain. My mom took Courtney home and I threw up 2 more times until she came home and took me to the ER. In the car I threw up 2 more times until I reached the Lakewood Emergency center. They took me in and ran a few tests... took some blood, temp., blood pressure. I didn't have a fever at the time, though. So I was extremely hydrated and continued to upchuck and dry-heave so they stuck me in one of their beds and a hospital gown (yes they're both extremely comfotrable. Have u ever tried sleeping in a hospital gown on that hard bed that won't move?) and stuck an IV in my right arm and pumped about two bags of the stuff into my system. Gave me some Fennergin (medicine that "Supposedly" stops the nausea... --; The side-effects say "MAY CAUSE DIZZINESS AND VOMITTING!" how retarded) and it didn't work so I threw up about 8 more times and was in the hospital from 12 AM till about 5 AM. Came home and threw up again and went to sleep till about 2PM and woke up and vomitted some more... took some medicine and tried to eat and drink some stuff. Slept off and on all day (keep in mind that I felt like shit every second). Then about 10 PM when i was in bed I threw up everything I had eaten that day.
The next 2 days are a little of a blur.... I remember throwing up a lot and sleeping...
Yesterday I went to the doctor.
All in all they both say it's hard to distinguish wether it's a bad case of the stomach flu or food Poisoning, both of which take some time to recover. I've got Prevacid to take everyday for a month (stomach acid medicine) and just rest and lots of eating.

"Goodnight, Goodnight"
It's not enough to hear me say you've won
You only wanted me for having fun
But now I think you've gone and had your way
And left me with a pile of bills to pay
I can't even rewind the tape machine
To listen to your drunken reasoning
So here it is - your final lullaby
So goodnight, goodnight
You're embarrassing me
You're embarrassing you
So goodnight, goodnight
Walk away from the door
Walk away from my life
So Goodnight
I've given up on social niceties
I threw 'em out when I threw out your keys
Along with all your records I can't stand
You never even listen to any one of them
You're never gonna drag me out again
With all the people that were never ever even your friends
So here it is - your final lullaby
So goodnight, goodnight
You're embarrassing me
You're embarrassing you
So goodnight, goodnight
Walk away from the door
Walk away from my life
So goodnight
A little bit of rain I'd say is fair
But when it starts to thunder they all stare
This isn't goodnight, this is goodbye...
So goodnight, goodnight
You're embarrassing me
You're embarrassing you
So goodnight, goodnight.
Walk away from the door
Walk away from my life
So goodnight, goodnight
You're embarrassing me
You're embarrassing you
So goodnight, goodnight
Walk away from the door
Walk away from my life
So goodnight
