it's been years and years since I had anything worse than a migraine.
but now? oofta.
just letting you know now: this is what a sickened rant looks like. tons of run-on sentences, ramblings, and general confusion. consider yourself warned.
Basically all day Thursday my abs hurt, presumably from working out. But then it turned into the shits that night, which have persisted up to the point we speak at now, which is Sunday night.
Including, at various times, a fever, severe body, stomach, and headaches, lightheadedness, and most recently (as of Saturday at 2am, when I experienced my first one), episodes of extreme pain like the worst cramps of my life times three. Saturday morning I was still out of it, yet it hurt like nothing I'd ever felt before. everything was getting fuzzy, and I flattened myself on my stomach on the cool linoleum to try to help the stabbing pain. there was absolutely no way I was getting up without passing out, so in vain i called for mom, even though i knew she really wouldn't be able to help much. surprisingly, she heard. o.o
she had told me that if the pain hit a certain area, to let her know asap because that could mean my appendix would have to be removed. thankfully, it was on the other side, but still. major, major pain.
these episodes (and the shits, too) have been spaced anywhere from 15 minutes to 4 hours apart, so basically all I've done since Friday around 5am is s**t and suffer miserably, then wait to do it all over again later.
I had a particularly mean bout of cramp things this morning in the presence of mom; she promptly told me that she was taking me to urgent care. I insisted after it was all done that I should do my part for the church's Memorial Day thing (playing drums haha), then after that she could take me there.
Got blood drawn (gotten particularly woozy about that since last fall when one of mom's co-workers was drawing my blood and said "oops..." then i felt the needle move around in my already hard-to-find vein... let's just say i was late for my next appointment because I was busy being recuperating in a cold, dark room until i could see straight again.), had to piss in a cup. Haven't done that in a while, either. I had just gone not 5 minutes before that, yet I managed to eek out just enough to fill a little... murgh, shameful experience at best. they try and make it as, what, honorable(?) as possible (saving face, mayhaps?) by having another door on the other side of where you're supposed to put the business, but it was opening again at the same time I was closing the door on my side.
so what, a lab person sits on the other side of the bathroom and anxiously awaits your piss so the very moment you put it where they can get it, they instantly (shamelessly) take it?
at least give it a few seconds... gonk
so yeah. 2 episodes already while writing this. They're so bad that I'm doubled over in pain, whimpering, tearing up, and panting for breath every time they come.
doc prescribed some sort of pill to even out the spasms. seemed to help enough this afternoon to spend some time at shioko's sister's grad party; was quite fun, and even got to chill with her cousins as well ^^
didn't make it to graduation, which I was quite upset about, (especially since between the start of graduation and the time I left for the party I had 3 minor episodes) but on the plus, yeah.
ate regular food again for the first time today! since Friday all I've had to eat is applesauce, bananas, half-slices of bread, and Sprite. Today I had half a pork sandwich, most of a piece of graduation cake (super rich, thought I was going to throw up haha), and a bunch of graduation mints. WINNING! besides the glass of punch I had at the party, i'm still scared to drink anything other than Sprite (plus that tends to clear me out rather quickly...)
stormy out now. dog is terrified of storms.
with my sickness, I've decided to put it to use. I read the first Harry Potter book over again in 24 hours exactly (minus the time for suffering and sleeping and TV watching, of course razz ), and plan to do the same for the second tonight, or tomorrow morning at latest. they're going a lot faster than I remember...
so yeah. Two grad parties and a possible parade I would like to attend tomorrow, hopefully these damn pills keep things in line long enough for at least one of the goals to be accomplished. rolleyes
