*comic book guy voice* worst illness EVER!!!
seems like the fun never ends in jess's life. i'm afraid i have some more bad news to report....i've been sick since last wednesday. at first i thought it was stress from taking the driving test, but it wouldn't go away. so then i thought it was allergies. but it was too extreme for it to be allergies. so i went to the doctor's on saturday before work and he said that i didn't have strep (thank god!), but i do need to rest and take tylenol. well, i still went to work anyways. i figured i could always call my dad to come get me if i wasn't feeling okay. i worked from 5-10.30. it was for the most part okay. i did shopbacks a lot (YAY!!!). and i was still able to poke fun at robert, evan, laura, and kevin. i thought i might be getting better!
but, of course, all of that made it worse. the next morning i woke up and i was in so much pain. i can't even remember the last time i was in so much pain. it hurts whenever i swallow, i can hardly talk, my nose is clogged, my ears hurt, it feels like someone hit me across the face with a 2x4, i have fever chills, i almost fainted in the shower, anything i do makes me tired and weak, i can barely sleep for 4 hours at a time, and i haven't been eating much.
since no one in their right minds wants to go through all this pain i went back to the doctor's on monday. i talked to her again and she said i have an ear infection. and she's not too sure about all the rest of what's wrong with me. so right now, i'm taking anitbotics for my ears, advil for the fever and body aches, allergy meds, and i've been sucking on cough drops like candy. luckily, today i don't feel as bad. it doesn't really hurt when i swallow and i'm eating a lot more. and my ears should be getting better within the next day.
everyday that's gone by, i've wept becuase i couldn't go outside. everyday that's gone by has been absolutely beautiful, and all i can do is sit in front of the computer, eat, watch tv, or sleep. i feel like a lazy bum. and i hate it. i want to go outside! i want to see my friends before school starts! speaking of which, we can't have our big party this friday cuz i'll still be getting over this illness. sorry everyone. leave it up to me to ruin everything, i know! it feels like i've fallen into the fifth ring of ickiness! i would rather go to work for seven hours straight than feel like this. i had to take off monday and tuesday. that's 14.5 hours lost.
on the bright side, my dad and sis have been so nice during all of this. all day yesterday, my sis waited on me. and my dad took me to the doctor's and everything. they've been looking out for me and they've been trying to keep me in high spirits. i've been watching "it's a mad, mad, mad, mad world", and "airplane!", old katherine hepburn movies, and law and order svu (yay!).
-"surely you can't be serious?"
-"i am serious....and don't call me surely!"
-"you've got to land this plane immediately and take these people to a hospital."
-"a hospital...what is it?"
-"it's a building with sick people in it, but that's not important right now..."
i'll try to keep in touch....try to be understanding about the party...i know you all were looking forward to it...
