Geez, talk about eventful week ends,

It all started well, going shopping with my parents, eating at Mc D's and then, evening planned with some friends in a restaurant in town. It all happened that way in fact, except that instead of the spanish restaurant, we went to an asian food restaurant (spanish food restaurant was too damn crowded)
During the night, I started puking, once, then twice, and three times. In bed, I was frozen and raked with shivering, then I knew this wasn't an ordinary illness.
On the morning, I felt very bad, still shivering, I felt quite light-headed when standing up and when standing up for a long time, I had my hand and feet kind of shaking like I had pins and needles in them and of course, I felt very very week I could hardly stand on my two legs. It was so bad I had to call my parents so they could take me home and, once home, as it was sunday, we couldn't get a hand on a GP so I was rushed to the hospital in an ambulance. I spent the whole afternoon lying on a bed. Turns out it was one of those bad cases of gastro-enteritis, the one that last one day and leaves you crawling on your hands and knees.

You can't imagine how scary it felt for me, for a couple of hours, we all thought it was food poisonning and since a young child died of that after eating at Mc D's a few days prior, I really felt I was going to die at some points and I felt miserable but all's well that ends well, I'm damn glad I'm back at home

fear, illness
