Ended up in the Emergency Room yesterday...

'kay now that I am slightly coherrant and not trippin' out on morphine. I will tell the tale of how I ended up in Boulder Community Hosptial (aka how I learned to stop worrying and love IVs).

So early Thursday morning, about 4am, I woke up to my body screaming at me and the inability to talk. My throat was about as sore as when I had tonsils (yup...ouch!) and my body had this odd and extremely painful pins & needles sensation. I took some meds to kinda knock me out, slept for another couple of hours, woke up with a migraine this time. I decided to send some e-mails out because it looked like once again, I felt dead. It was worse than before, deader than dead, like being run over by a truck and then backed over again. E-mailed my profs, Lionel, checked facebook, etc. Went back to bed for a little while, felt really awful. The pins & needles sensation was so painful that I couldn't fall asleep. My migraine was killer too. Major light and noise senstivity, full body shakes, etc. So about 1:30-2ish I couldn't stand it anymore. Jason drove me to the hospital.

We were talking about zombie movies on the way over, we came up with the theory that maybe I'm a zombie and just not getting enough brains, maybe that is why I am so sick. Jason and I are ER buddies...it's sorta sad how often I've been there....here's the history of ER parties:
- I got major food poisoning two years ago (Jason, Amanda, and Adam drove me to BCH)
- Fractured my elbow back in May (Dad drove me to BCH)...re-fractured it but that's another story
- Jason got his nose nearly broken at the Bloc Party concert by an asshole (that was when J and I got to visit Swedish Medical Center...change of scenery)

So I got in rather quickly and the nurse took some blood, did a swab of my throat, put me on an IV and then gave me some meds via my IV, one started with a "C" and the other was morphine. Made me reeeeaaaallly dizzy and reeeeaaallly sleepy. Jason said I was slurring my words. I was falling in and out of sleep as J was talking to me. Finally I got to go home. I was nice and doped up, Jason took me by McDee's because I knew I wasn't going to eat otherwise. Went back, about halfway through devouring a burger (kinda the first real meal I had all day) Matt knocked on my door. He was talking to me and trying to have a conversation....I could barely stand. The only times I've seen him recently I have been insanely busy or it's been bad timing. After eating I checked my mail and then slept. Woke up to loud neighbors (one of the the few reasons I HATE living on campus), after managing to walk and talk to them...which didn't help much, I put my earplugs back in (becasue people are so loud and keep me awake, usually once I am asleep I am okay). Could still hear them but luckily the morphine knocked me out.

Today I still had a migraine, been taking 800 mg of Ibprophen every 6-8 hours (watches as Londyn twitches and yells at me....yes Nurse Londyn, I am a bad girl...but it makes the pain go away...). Got a sub for my show this weekend, yay.

I wish I could have had my movie night tonight but I am so sick, I wouldn't have been much of a fun hostest. I would have liked to hang out with Jen, Richard, Trav, and Lionel. But I need to get a good night's sleep. I have two exams next week, Physics and Natural Hazards, plus like 5 projects due for GIS. I am going to go to the library and study lots (although I fear most of them will be closed due to the game so I may go to Boulder Library or the UMC 3rd floor lounge).
