Sicky Sick Girl
Ah, kiddados. Your lovely blogrincess has, apparentaments, come down with PNEUMONIA. Yes, after an absolutely BRUTAL day yesterday (highlights include puking THREE times while lying in my bed and simultaneously sweating like a hoooore in church whilst being totally freezing and goosebumpled), I got my Ma to drag me to the emergency room. One big ole bag of fluid, 30 mgs of painkillers and two doses of antibiotics later, the results were clear: not meningitis (thanks be!) but rather pneumy-onia. Add to that a fever of 102.2 and a headache worse than any migraine I've ever had, and you get an idea of what my night was like.
So. What next? I rescheduled my plane ticket back home until tomorrow, but am still rather concerned that the travel may, in fact, kill me. I'm supposedly burning 4,000 calories a day (say WHAAA?!!) trying to fight this, so have been rightfully and happily eating anything I can get my hands on. Unfortch, my appetite is nil - so this is like, I don't know, the Monkey's Paw of illness benefits? As in, the gift that no one wants? Sweet...but 4,000 calories, bro? Pass the maple syrup. Mama's going out with a bang.
