I'm home~!!!

Oct 25, 2009 14:41


I just got home from the hospital.

Those were the worst 4 days of my life...I was constanly getting blood drawn, I got fluid drawn from my spine, I got a shot in my tummy, I had needles stuck into my legs and electric shocks sent through them, I was woken up every 2 hours to get my vitals checked...it was hell.

Turns out though, I'm going to be okay.
I had a mild form of this neurological virus that actually could have left me paralyzed and/or...could have killed me.

How scary is that?
To think: "hey Heather, if you close your eyes and fall asleep--your body will attack itself and you won't wake up!"

It was scary and it was hell.

But I'm stronger than that...I guess.

I think I lost my cool and freaked out when my mom called my dad Thursday morning, while I was waiting for the hospital to get my room ready...and she started crying.

I'm such a wimp...but I am so glad it's all over.

I still have tingling sensations in parts of my body...but at least I know, this is just recovery. I'm not at a risk for dying anymore.
Isn't that wonderful?

I think so. ^.^

So...what did I do when I got home?
Took McDonald's to-go...and watched America's Next Top Model. ^.^
Feels good to be home...I just can't wait to sleep undisturbed in my bed tonight!

yay!, me
