Barrell of monkeys

So yesterday was grand..woke up with a horrindous case of the stomach flu. Couldn't keep anything down all day and ended up getting really dehydrated. Got to the ER at 9:30pm and waited in the waiting room for like 2 hours. I asked for my card back because i'd rather be comfortable and miserable than there and miserable and if i still couldn't hold anything down in the morning i would be back. The nurse there really didn't want me to leave cause i guess i looked like crap and when i tried to walk i collapsed. After that they gave me a quiet room to lay down in and got me in quickly. Funny they still asked for a urine sample. I understand that they needed it...there was just nothing to give. So they hooked me up to an IV and gave me 3 liters of fluid and were going to start a fourth but decided that i was hyddrated enough to go home and let me keep up on it myself. You wouldn't believe all the drugs they gave me...i left there at 2:30am ish and i'm still feeling numb and slow from everything. They gave me something that wasn't a narcotic but like motrin on speed and moses....i can tell thats still jiving in my little body. Anyway i'm doing much better now. I'm keeping solids and liquids down. Still queezy but not expelling stuff. YAY! Well just thought i would share the adventure.

I will be down in Anc on the 1st...maybe the 29th. I leave the 2nd at 1am. I hope to get a chance to see ya'll while i'm down there.
