illness;school;surgery;too much
Mother was hospitalized two weeks and a half ago. Stayed in bed for a week and a half and just as she started feeling better my sister caught bronchitis and she has been absent from school all this week. Every four hours my sister has to receive oxygen from a machine for 10-12 minutes and it’s sad to see her hooked on that thing. I hope they all get better. My mothers was starting to do things; walk around, decorate for Christmas and even drove me to my doctor’s consolation yesterday but last night she began to get sick again. A different kind of illness though, because 3 weeks ago she could barely walk or speak, her muscles were so fragile and now she is just throwing up a lot and her body is extremely cold. So right now my sister and my mother are both at home, extremely sick and my operation is going to be this Monday. I can’t remember the last time my family was so ill. I also don’t know how my mom is going to take care of me while I recuperate from the surgery. The good thing is that my brother is coming this weekend and hopefully will help around the house and not go out and party and barely see his family like he usually does.
I started to take some medicine to get me ready for the operation and I hate it. One of the medications gives me a disgusting taste in my mouth and makes me drowsy and very very tired. By the end of the day I am ready to collapse and sleep for about 4 hours. The other medicine I am taking takes away all my energy and leaves me hungry, but as soon as I eat I get a stomach ache and I can not even stand up or sit, I just lay down and do nothing.
I know it probably sounds worse than what it really is, but this seriously sucks. I have two research papers to finish by Monday (they are actually due on Wednesday but I won’t have the energy or concentration to do anything while drugged up trying to heal) so I’ve got a lot of school work and also, I’m going to be absent the last week of the semester, which means I am taking finals January when we all get back from break. I hate not taking them the same time as everyone else, because I want to get it over with but I guess, I’ll just have to do it later.
Lots and lots of home work and I don’t even have the energy to stay awake. My shoulders have been feeling really weak and I’ve been getting cramps on my arms. What the hell. I am usually not the sick one, not the one that bases their life on how their medicine works; I am the one that usually HATES any kind of medicine.
Oh and my best friend’s birthday is the same day as my surgery.
Yeah, this is such a drag.
