So for the past 5 days I have been dying. Not literally but it felt like it. On Friday, I woke up, didn't feel all that good but went to work anyway. I was there for about an hour before I gave up and realized that the smell of chocolate chip cookies and blueberry muffins were making me gag and that it was time to go home. My head was hurting, my stomach was turning and I couldn't focus on anything. I'm lucky I made it home. An hour after I got home, I started puking. Oh the puking. The night before I had made a big dinner for myself and 7 other people and thought maybe I poisoned us. Turns out that nope, I didn't try killing anyone other than myself. To make a long story short, two hours after I started puking, I called my roommate to come home. She took one look at me and said we were going to the hospital. So off we went to Rochester General. I was there for 5 hours. I puked in the emergency waiting room. I almost threw up on a kid. I never got seen. I left because I decided that if I was gonna puke, I would rather it be in private and be comfortable.
Got home, passed out until 6pm when Jim rang the doorbell. He knew I was sick and he still came over to nurse me. He brought me ginger ale and stayed all night even though I kept telling him to go home and let me die in peace. Once every six months, that man surprises me.
Anyways, I missed work on Friday and Saturday. Went to work on Monday where I left about three hours early and then today when I actually got up, and dressed and packed my bag for school, I had the worst stomach cramps ever and decided fuck it. Got back undressed, called in to work for the third time in 5 days, emailed my professors that I was sick and wouldn't be in class, then got my ass to the doctor's office.
Diagnosis? The stomach flu
I am not allowed back at work until Saturday. I got lots of drugs that don't seem to do anything but make me sleepy which wouldn't be so bad except for the fact that I have school I still have to go to.
Blah. What a crappy week.

awww, bunzol, i'm so sorry you're so sick! my nephew has been super sick with a similar thing and we took him to the doctor and they said it was the flu too! so i hope you get better :-( it sucks when you have so much to do and physically can't!
and don't you hate that even when you're on your deathbed you find that you still HAVE to go to school? sometimes i wish my mom could still call the attendance office and say that i wouldn't be coming in and then one of my friends could get me a "homework packet" that she'd drop off on her way from the bus stop...oh those were the dayyyyyys, haha o:-)
feel better love! :-*
I am feeling better except for that whole "I have how much homework I have to do?" thing. I totally miss high school right now. Are we too old to go back? :)
