yup, still sick and suffering here. went to the doctors on tuesday cuz my throat hurt really bad and he's like, u got tonsilitis. and i got like 2 pills to take and i should have been fine by that night or the next morning at the latest but there was no reaction to the medicine at all. it was kinda getting worse. well, todays thurday and i went back for a penecillin shot cuz it would work faster. didnt feel it much. and the doctor was really shocked that the pills didnt help and it was gettin serious. well i got the shot and then the doctor started talkin bout how a serious stage i was in for tonsilitis. and he's like im gonna call st james hospital, since it was right across the street from the clinic i was in, and see if they have an open bed for me to hospitalize me for a day with ivy treatments. well, st james was full so they called south suburban hospital (i was born there =) ) and they were full to but if they have an opening by tonight, they are gonna call me at home and i will go straight there. if not, then they will call me in the morning, and if im not better by then, ill have to go and be hospitalized. ahhh im soooo scared to be hospitalized! i remember when i went through that in 1992 and it was horrible. last time, i was in there for like a week. and o god, the ivy treatments.... ok i dont mind shots at all. i even wanted to go back for the penecillin shot, that was my idea. but ivy shots... you know how when someones gettin a shot, they're just waitin for the needle to be taken out? well, with ivy treatments, neddle doesnt come out hunny! haha they keeo it in. and they put it in the back of ur hand...its boney and it hurts more! and then they tape it down with the styrafoam tape stuff which takes off half ur skin when they rip it off. ahhhhhhhhhhh i wanna cry. i SO do not want to go throught that again. and just the thought of bein in a hospital over night is scary. well at least my mommy will be with me! ha im such a baby when im sick. lol and plus, hospitals have lots of jello! jello is all ive been eating for the past 3 days. i just dont want to swallow anything cuz it hurts too much. well its been bout 4 hours since i had that shot and no effect. i have a feeling im gonna be goin to the hospital. god im scared. if not tonight, defnitely tomorrow morning. *sigh* everytime my phone rings i just cringe, hopin its not the hospital. well im gonna go and watch friends and try to forget bout the whole hospital thing cuz its freakin me out. love ya all. *safia*
