Sick and Dead

So. Tuesday Night i was suppose to sleepover Casey's ( @werewolfluvr119 ) house but of course my stomach decided to be stupid. Lets just say i got the stomach bug and had to be picked up by my parents. not how i excepted to have fun. ugh. And that's just the START of my night.

So after this i got home still feeling disgusting, and still puking. My legs and fingers started to feel really tingly and at some points i couldn't even feel them at all. I couldn't eat or drink anything without throwing it up so i started to get a headache and my mouth was really dry.

My dad had to go out at about 2:40am to get me petalite drink stuff and diet coke. I tried sucking on crushed ice cubes, and then i would last about 3 minutes then i would puke them up again. Sounds like fun doesn't it?

All of a sudden at around 4am i had trouble breathing, and i was so weak i couldn't even move. That was the point when my mum knew i had to go to the emergency room, so my dad helped me in the car and we were off.

I have never been in an ambulance before and i never want to but that night it would have been good to be in one. This is because the ER is about 25 minutes away from my house and by the time i was in the car i could barely breath and my mouth was so dry i couldn't even swallow.

I finally got to the ER, my mum got my a wheelchair cause i couldn't stand. Once she got it there were 3 ER PEOPLE STANDING THERE and not one of them helped me into the wheelchair which shows how stupid people can be...

I finally got into one of the rooms after about 15 minutes of feeling like i was dieing. Once i was in there i had to get an iv in my arm and i HATE needles so i was like in tears. They told me i needed to get 3 bags of iv fluids because i was dehydrated. But once i started to get the fluids in me i felt much stronger and less shaky.

Next they put another bag in the iv thing, this one was for my nauseous stomach and this helped TONS. My stomach stopped hurting but the iv fluids were taking FOREVER to finish. The first iv fluid was done by around 5am. And they started the next one.

After this, another women came in with another needle and i started freaking out AGAIN. She had to take 3 tubes of blood to test something, like electrolights i think it was called... maybe. But ya i hated that cause needles + blood = me dieing.

So then i just kinda sat there watching infomercial after infomercial and each of them were about an 1 long each. I don't want and care about the Shark Steamer or the Hip hop Abs DVD. It really started to get on my mum and I's nerves. And its not like i could fall asleep or anything.

Then around 6am and on my 2nd bag of iv fluids the doctor finally said that i could eat something really small so she gave me a orange Popsicle and said to eat it slowly. I ate it and suddenly i felt like 50% better and i could actually feel my throat which was an improvement for sure. Then at around 6:30am i drank some ginger ale, i never really liked ginger ale but at that moment in time it tasted amazing since i hadn't drank anything for at least 6 hours.

So they finally switched me to my last iv fluid bag thing and said once it was done i could leave, it was around 7am now. This is when everyone goes home and more people come and so there was a lot of confusion with what room is who's but after this confusion was over everything was fine.

My mum used to work at this hospital so the new people that were coming in for the morning shift she knew loads of them. Random people coming in and saying Hi and talking about how they hadn't seen each other in 20 years or how they knew each other when my mum was 20. I was still kinda of out of it so i didn't listen to the old stories or about how old there kids were.

So it was finally about 8am when the last iv fluid bag was done and they pulled out the needle. I just started to feel how tired i was because i had been up for almost 24 hours. I got home at around 8:30 and fell right into bed and fell right to sleep.

So that's my "fun" night on tuesday. Don't you wish it happened to you? Oh i know it's exactly how you dream a sleepover with one of your best friends. But if you were wondering i am feeling better i haven't eaten anything solid except one cracker, only sherbet and popsicles but i think i can finally start eating REAL food soon. :) Yup, so i'm gonna go watch some more tv since thats all i can really do at the moment. love you all.
