I'm Back and I'm Alive!
There was some question about the being alive bit about two weeks ago....
Let's see....Friday, April 29 I got sick, REALLY sick....I thought it was just some bug, went to bed early, went to this thing on Saturday, felt like crap, but I had to go....still felt sick that afternoon, went and talked to my professors. They took me to the emergency room because it was the weekend so the University health center was closed. They gave me pills for vomiting and the fever......I slept through Sunday....I had a final on Monday, but I went to the health center on campus and got a medical leave from it...Tuesday...things started getting scary...I'd been vomitting every day since Saturday.....we went back to the emergency room....I was there like 3 hours, they made me drink this god-awful stuff which I threw back up as soons as I got back to my room...the doctor gave me like 5 different meds....I'd been so sick that I hadn't had a chance to call my mom and tell her...my professor, Kay, emailed the school back home...they called my mom...she called Kay and Kay told her what had happened, then my mom talked to me, this was the conversation Me: Hi (my voice was really high and squeaky from being sick) Mom: Hi Me: Did Kay tell you what happened? Mom: Yeah, do you want to come home? Me: Yes Mom: Give the phone back to Kay Within about 4 hours my mom had everything figured out...Kay suggested I wait until Saturday because someone else was leaving then so I could travel with someone, I said I was going home Thursday. I flew from Trinidad to Miami by myself, I met my mom in Miami, we stayed at a motel for a few hours then flew from Miami to Las Vegas to Seattle....yeah, that was one helluva trip...I felt like crap most of the way....I was dry heaving by the time we got to Las Vegas...then I decided to take one of the pills for the vomitting...well, I hadn't really eaten anything since I got sick on Friday.....I was delerious on the plane ride to Seattle, and I had that horrible creepy, bleh feeling you get from drugs, it was awful....My mom drove us home from Seattle, we got in there at like 2 am, then drove for another 3 1/2 hours....we got home around 6 am, slept for 3 hours, then went to the doctor....within 30 minutes I had an IV in my arm and was in a hospital room....they also took blood, turns out my body was actually crashing Thursday night, things were shutting down, my kidneys were starting to fail....12 more hours and I would have been in a coma.....the doctor thinks I got salmonilla (sp?) which then caused me to get pancreatitus (sp? I have no idea how to spell these things)...I was in the hospital for 2 days on an IV....for the past week I've been home, eating bread, soup, jello, yeah, the diet has sucked....this weekend I decided to up the doctor's timeline though and tonight I had chicken for dinner (my stomach wasn't that pleased, but hey, it tasted good). I had to go back to the doctor today for another blood test, seems the enzymes or whatever aren't going back down to where they're suppose to be..they'll call me with the results tomorrow....so yeah, I left a week early, didn't finish a single class, but apparently I still graduate this Sunday (I'll have to finish things, obviously, I wasn't THAT lucky). Just thought some of you would like that detailed update, I'm sure others of you don't care, but that's ok.

I am feeling a lot better than I did....but now I feel like I'm starving all the time because I'm not really eating anything with substance...and I can't really eat anything that tastes good
 (at least, not without my stomach complaining, very painfully)
