In the ER, again.

Quick update.

I ended up in the Emergency Room yesterday. This will be the 3rd time in almost a year (recap: #1 elbow fracture last May, #2 Migraine in Nov. and #3 was yesterday).

You know it's bad when you show up and they changed their setup since Nov. and you notice it. They seriously moved and changed the counter at Boulder Hospital, it threw me off.

Anyway here's what happened. I DJed in the morning as par usual but didn't have anything to eat. So I stopped by Amanda's to pick up the keys to her house (her dog Xander is really sick so I was helping her out by letting him out while she was at work) and then I went to King Sopper's. I pick up food for the next couple weeks plus a sandwich and soda to devour in my car. As soon as I finished with the sandwich I felt immediately ill. I had like the worst stomach cramps....ever. So... I went back to the dorm and layed down. It felt like I was still super hungry so I ate a tangelo (I love tangelos) but it had no effect. Still immense pain. Two hours and a dose of Pepto later, still sick as all hell and can't sleep cause the pain is too intense.

Went to the ER (after making it to Amanda's and letting Xander out and calling up Joel to get sub for my show). They said I had either a stomach virus or food poisoning (which were both my intial guesses). They gave me a liter of fluid via IV and some anti-nausea meds. The nurse, Chris was really nice, as was the doctor. He came in a couple times to check on me and Chris was checking on me ever 15 min or so. Spent about 2 and half hours there and went back to the dorms.

When I got back I ended up getting into a fight with Vernon (my RA) but that's another story. He's an ass and doesn't do his job or even attempt to.

My dad came and picked me up, and I am home now. I am feeling betterish but now I am going to lay down for a bit. My dad bought me flowers and a stuffed cat as well as taking good care of me. yay! :) My dad rocks.

Happy Easter.

Londyn hat gesagt…

My poor Steppie!!! You are having such a bad time of it lately--I wish I could wave a magic wand at you and fix it all. Let me know if there is anything that I CAN do to help out, and definitely e-mail or call me anytime. (Okay so I don't answer my phone, but that's not the point). I hope I see you today, but I'll be thinking you either way.
XOXO!

sgwhgk- either a really squashy hug or the feeling in your stomach after the sandwich yesterday. I'm not sure which.
