sigh
I can't believe I neglected this journal for so long, It really provides me with quite the positive emotional outlet. I'm going to try and keep it going, especially in this difficult time...
I almost freaking died this weekend. No joke. The last few weeks have been weird, my hormones have been out of whack and I was worried that I might be (cough) pregnant (cough) even though I constantly take the necessary precautions and never fall short. Plus I was moody as hell and getting sick in the early morning (4 or 5 am). So I took the liberty to stroll into Safeway and purchase a First Response. With a sigh of relief, only one line appeared on the stick (hallelujah). I can't imagine that happening to me at this point in my life- especially with Christian's and my situation...we are no longer.
Anyway, to get to the point. Friday night I partied, and I partied wayyy too hard. And I think that is when my body finally got super pissed at me for mistreating it. Saturday I worked all day and felt a little dizzy but ignored it. At 7, Kayla picked me up from work and we went down to Yasi's birthday party at Chevy's in Sacramento. As soon as I took a bite of the refried beans I could feel the nausea coming on, but I bit my tongue and waited out the evening before getting home and puking up my guts for hours. I thought it was food poisoning so I took some pepto and went to sleep. At about 6 in the morning I could feel my dad shaking me and yelling for me to wake up, but my body wasn't moving. I was soaked in what felt like water, but in actuality was sweat. I had a 105 temp. and couldn't walk, so my dad picked me up and took me to the emergency room.
It turns out that I had a bladder infection for a long while, and it got so bad that it spread to my kidneys, then my kidneys gave up and it started leaking into my system giving me septic shock. I didn't feel any signs of a bladder infection, therefore I didn't take any steps in curing it. It's scary to think that if my dad wouldn't have come in my room earlier I could have died.
I'm perfectly fine now, they put me on some crazy antibiotics and I'm drinking lots of fluids. I had my first meal today. Egg on toast :)
