for the flu. Not.
So my body decided it needed a bigger challenge so it decided to catch the flu. Perfection. Like could there be better timing? I started getting sick Wednesday after my lovely date. Which is kind of a downer. But fyi the date was amazing. And then the night came, and I didn't sleep at all. I couldn't keep warm. I had to turn off my fan, put on sweats, a long sleeve shirt, a winter's coat, and 2 extra blankets. I still could not move because I was shivering so bad. My roommate explained to me the next day that it was actually a really hot night. Well I ended up getting up a 5 something and watching Wall E. Trying to go back to sleep. Well things just got worse!
Thank goodness for an amazing brother who looks out for me. He missed most of work to take me to the urgent care. Where some funny things happened. First off, I don't think the receptionist knew how to hit play on the dvd menu because they had Shrek in and over and over again it kept playing "oh pick me pick me pick meeeeee." After paper work, and lots of sitting I finally was able to get in a room. Where the nurse asked me questions. After that I had to wait for another room to open. I finally got in one. The doctor came in. He was an interesting fellow. He was trying to be funny I think. He asked me normal questions to figure out what is wrong, and then very seriously he asked me "Do you hear nonexistent voices in your head?" I laughed, that's when I realized he was serious. I told him no, and he replied, "That's probably a good thing." Well it came down to it, that I have influenza. (Another fancy word for the flu) Although, I did find it odd that for the most part he just went off what I said and didn't check much. Oh well. He gave me lots of drugs. Those are quite helpful. He gave me a note for my professors and told me to rest for a week. A week?! I have papers, exams, and finals. Bad timing!
I went home and emailed my professors, they were understanding about me being sick and are letting me put things off until Monday. Well I don't know what happened after that, it's kinda hazy. 2 days past. Lots of movies, lots of sleeping, lots of soup, crackers, and sprite, and lots of people calling to check up on me. How thoughtful. I was alone enduring this sickness. My roommates were gone, and man I hate having to take care of myself when I'm sick. It stinks! Although, Christian and Kara were very helpful. Thanks guys for looking out for me, I love you!
It's Saturday, I'm not completely over it, but much better.I have a nasty cough, and my medicine puts me out so I'm avoiding it until bedtime. It's amazing what you can accomplish when you're sick. I wrote my 15page paper, read some, and worked on some other homework. I feel pretty accomplished for being sick.
I hardly get sick, but when I do, it's always the flu. Daggum it! It's not as bad as it could have been though, thanks to taking my vitamins daily. Woot woot! So moral of the story, don't get sick, but if you do make sure you're always taking your vitamins. The End. Oh and finals are next week. Yikes! Also, I go home in a week and a half. Yipee! That is all. xoxo
