To live is to die.....or somthin

So yah, a little recap of the last few days...if you NOTICED that i haven't been around, its because i've been massive sick, and the only places i've been were my bed, the couch, the bathroom and the emergency room (the funnest of them all!)

it started last saturday. i've been massive sick with a cold and had gone to be at like 9pm friday nite. i got a freakin call from the Vet College at 10:30am saturday. I wasn't on call that day, but the oncall girl had gone home to bed cuz she was at the college till 4am helping a emergency c-section on a cow blah blah blah. and they also told me she came in again at 8am that morning for treatments, which i found out later, was total bull shit. so yah, i'm hacking and tired and just feeling like shit, and i'm taking care of all these foals that are sick and dying. i tried calling my other classmates, but i couldn't get a hold of ANY of them, so i had no one to take over for so i could go home. finally i decided to call the oncall girl at like 4:30pm, and she said i should have called her earlier. grr.

so yah, i got home feeling like shit, i sit at home all nite and play games on the comp and then my stomach starts feeling shitty, so i decide to go to bed. i figured it was just from swallowing so much mucus (yummy) from my cold. heh, i was wrong.

saturday nite, 12am, the puking begins. i was puking from that time until sunday nite, straight. add a bit of the shits in there, just to spice things up ;) i was in pain, i couldn't walk, i spent the whole day (sunday) in the fetal position on the couch and just watched movies and moaned in pain. What made it even worse, was that since i had such a bad cold, i had lost my appetite by friday, so i hadn't even had a decent meal since friday afternoon.

on monday i had stopped puking, but i still felt like shit. i missed school, which sucked cuz now i'm behind.

the absolute worst traumatizing part, is that my parents decided to take me to the emergency room cuz i wasn't getting better. :/ I've never been to the hospital before, so i was super freaked. and yes, i am a big baby. i was like, 'noooo! they're gonna poke me!!!'

and i was right. they put in an IV, pumped some fluids into me for a good 3 hours and drew blood from me. gods...give me a peircing any day over a catheter....*shivers* it hurt, and my hand is bruised and sore now, and i have a bruise where they took blood.

i hate needles. i can give needles, no prob. i can place catheters, no prob...but eeks, i was lieing there with my eyes squeezed shut lol.

so anyways, long story short, i have a Viral Enteritis. something that can't really be treated with meds, and i have to get over it myself by drinking lots of fluids blah blah blah.

i'm traumatized.
