End of a Livejournal hibernation

Man, can't believe I haven't been here in about three weeks!

I was very sick halfway through two weeks ago. On the 12th, Wednesday, I was feeling really ill all throughout school, and a prize presentation later that evening too (which was a pity, as I won several prizes).
I stayed home next day, and although it initially seemed like it might pass over quickly, that was proved false when I vomited - twice. The problem only got worse and by that weekend (two weekends ago) I was confined to bed, barley eating anything and only leaving to go to the bathroom. This problem continued for about another week, and my parents thought it was a tummy bug.
Then, next weekend (one weekend ago), I went to my usual doctor, who put me on some antibiotics, and told me to come back in two days. When my dad brought me back two days later, my doctor then said I should check in to the emergency room at the hospital.
Now, I don't really have a regular hospital, so we finally ended up waiting for about three hours in the emergency room of the third hospital we tried. When I finally went it, they took a blood sample (OUCH) and hooked me up to one of those water bags. Followed by another one, along with an x-ray. At the end, it was confirmed that I had a mild lung infection, and that the best thing to do was continue resting in bed, but eat as much as possible. Because since I barely ate ANYTHING, I lost about 3/4 of a stone in body fat. Meaning my gym work in making me heavier since May is effectively undone. BOOOOOOOO.

Anyways, since that Monday (6 days ago), I've been getting better. I'm no longer confined to the bed, and I even went in to school two days ago. One of my mates picked up all the info I'd missed over the last two weeks and noted it down. So while that means I've got work to do this Halloween break (BOOO) at least it means less catch-up work to do come November 7th, when the break is over. Since I've missed about two weeks of school.

Right now, though, I've done some writing for the first time in about three weeks, since I've barely touched a computer since my last post. I'm on a roll with Villains Chapter 6. While my sickness meant I had to submit my contest entry without editing it beyond the first draft, (and as such it was only about 70% of what I wanted) a week ago, I hoping to get back into the groove over the next week. No further progress on my secret Powerpuff project, but it'll come around to work too! Even when school gets back next week, I'll try hard to keep doing some stuff.

Gotta go now, can't stay up too late as I'm still recovering. Bye!
