Life sucks right now, been through a lot of hell these last two weeks. Ive always had bad headaches but recently they have gotten a lot worse, so bad that my body eventually just shuts down and i pass out from the pain, which is preferable at times. They do say god is merciful. But anyway so i passed out a few times and eventually found myself in the ER at West Boca Hospital...fun fun. They gave me some medicine- two wonderful shots in the butt to see if that would break my head ache, but it didnt so they decided i had to stay in the hospital at least overnight. They then went to give me an IV which began the terrible hospital experience because it took them 6 tries and 3 different nurses to get my IV in, ya not fun, i wanted to hit a bitch lol. luckily fama was there to hold my hand as the tears started to fall from frustration and pain after their 4th freaking attempt. So ya after the IV was finally put in, they gave me this miracle drug which was morphine based to break my headache while i waited in the ER for my room. I tried my hardest to sleep which wasnt so bad after the medicine as my poor mother and bf waited for hours for a room to be available for me cause, and get this, all the rooms in the entire place were full, primarily cause of the old snowbirds down here. So, after 10 and a half hours of waiting in the ER they finally got me up to my room, which i thought would be peaceful...NOT! due to a serious lack of rooms the only place they could put me was on the 2nd floor which is were people with major heart problems go and stay. Ya, i got shoved into a room with this 86 year old pain in the ass bitching women at 5:30AM when i finally got my room. Ill give u a few examples of how horrible this 86 yr old lady was: 1. she kept me up the rest of the morning complaining about how the hospital sucks and doesnt care about their patients cause it took them 4 hours for them to get her a box of tissues 2. this women would pull the emergency cord next to her bed which let out a high pitch screetch until the nurse got there, not cause she had an emergency, but because she wanted the nurse the fluff her pillows 3. she complained she couldnt go to the bathroom yet she refused all sedative meds....so, by the grace of god i finally got my own room a few days later!
while in the hospital, a 5 day stay, they did every test they could to make sure my condition wasnt life threatening. i got MRI's, MRA's, a Cat Scan, and a Spinal Tap which is killing me! lol i walked like a grandma a few days after and im still soar. But hey at least they ruled out anything that could kill me. they just have to find some meds to give me for my headaches so i dont pass out or get dizzy in the future.
i had several visitors while i was there (pat, evan, brenden, and of course fama who was there to see me every day) and i got tons of flowers and cards. Thanks to everyone, it really meant a lot to me! ya fama was the sweetest, poor kid, while i was wacked out of my mind on narcotics he fed me chicken cause i had to eat cause the meds they were giving me were so powerful. im glad fama loves me so much cause i looked like complete crap the days i was in there haha, im glas no pics were taken.
so ive missed so much school that i have a ton of make up work to do and im going to have to take and pass all my exams for school to graduate and ive missed two weeks of school varsity practice, luckily my coach seems understanding but it still sucks. but hey, at least i survived and im feeling better! when i get 100% again im soooo having a "I F*CKING SURVIVED PARTY!!" thrown by evan hehe cant wait! and i want to have it when u, backman my love, are down here! so hopefully all will work out!
much love to all!,
