So I guess I had some concrete evidence that I really was sick and not just being anti-social. Two nights ago, in addition to fire throat, I started to get the chills and become all achey. I downed maybe about 8 Ibuprofen and 1 Percoset during a 12-hr. span or something. I felt a little better, until yesterday afternoon when I had absolutely no strength and could hardly pick myself up, nevermind actually walk. I had to brace myself every time I had to swallow cuz I knew how much it would hurt. I was shaking really badly and my teeth were chattering! For some reason, it never occurred to me to take my temperature or anything; I figured if I just kept taking medicine it'd go away in a day or so. Wrong. My mom finally made me, and I had a fever of almost 103. I had to go to Urgent Care PEDIATRICS (yea, coulda sworn I was EIGHTEEN!)and the doctor figured it was strep throat so she just gave me Penicillin and told me to keep taking 800mg of Ibuprofen. I was happy about that--I thought she was gonna yell at me or something and say I was taking too much. Yea, I don't think ANYONE else cares, much less read this far cuz this entry is pretty boring, but um I'm feeling 25% better. I still have a fever but it's not bad. I'm sure you're relieved to know this...ok I'm gonna stop. This entry was one big complaint. I love it.
