SO I dont get to go to LA and help my best friend Graduate or meet her Boy Friend. I feel bad that I disapointed her and I am not gonna be there for her but she was understranding and said that she is just glad that I don't have a life threatening disease. SO Yesterday I had a totally scare and I will try to be as brief as possible.
I have been really sick this week but of course my parents didnt believe me because most of my symptoms were not obvious. I went to Urgent Care on Tuesday, and they found nothing so they sent me home. After my final on Thursday, I came home to puke, and call my doctor for an emergency appointment. Unfortunately my doctor was out of town so I had to see someone else. He was HORRIBLE, he had the worst bedside manners. My mom wanted to hit him because he was so bad. Anyways, He sent me to ER because he thought I had a life threatening illness. I was in ER around 2pm. My temperature was 104 and rising, I was shaking so hard. My heart rate was at an uncontrolable 138. They did a CATSCAN, chest x-rays, blood and urine test, and the MOST PAINFUL procedure in the world called a spinal tap. They stuck three needles in my spinal column and took fluids out. All the tests came up negative. They shot me up with pain killers and told me that if my temperature and heart rate become stable they would release me. SO around 10pm I got to go home. I can barely talk, one side of my throat is largely than the other. My head really hurts and I have to rest.
I put my parents through a huge scare and a lot of worry but the thing is I dont feel bad or guilty about it. In fact they feel really bad and I am glad. We have been through a lot the past couple months with my health and this whole time they thought I was doing it for attention. The doctor told them that I am really strong, to take me serious, and that I know my body best. If something is bothering me to the point that I bring it up several times chances are it is something serious.
I am just glad that it is not something serious like cancer
