Keeping Up

Well even though I shouldn't be doing any work at all I felt the need and I also wanted to blog so here it is.

You guys are probably wondering where I have been all week and not in class. Well I have been stuck in the hospital back in my home town since early saturday morning. There is no prediction of when I am going to be able to leave but I am getting tired of looking at the same boring walls, same poorly designed posters, and same TV that looks like if could break any minute. I have been hooked up to an IV ever since I have been here. I have also had 4 shots in my stomach and countless amounts of tubes of blood taken from my arm (22 just this morning). Right now all we know is that I have pneumonia in both of my lungs and some sort of virus that is attacking some of my organs. My liver isn't functioning correctly which is making the whole situation much worse. All I want to do is leave this place and at least go home and rest in my bed. I am craving coming back to Tech; it is honestly all I want right now. I told my mom that if they let me go back to Tech now that all I would do is study and that's it. I would just be happy to be back there. But for now I am stuck in the prison cell of a hospital room sleeping in a very uncomfortable bed. The food here is awful that I ask my parents to bring me in food from "the outside". I have had a lot of visitors which has definitely lifted my spirits and my dad and stepmom came to visit and my dad has stayed for the past 2 days and stayed the night with me. I just can't wait to get back to all of you guys soon and hopefully figure out in the next day or so what exactly is going inside my body. I am so scared to start making up all of my work because it will definitely stress me out and put me on work overload. I know I will push through though because I will be glad to be back at Tech!

Why Me?

So you'll never guess where I spent my night.... you got in the urgent care facility over in Christiansburg. On Sunday I started getting sick again with body aches, hot and cold flashes that were so bad I could barely function, swollen eyes, coughing, head ache, and more. My body can just never catch a break! This morning I woke up to my eyes barely being able to open. I walked into my suite mates rooms and asked her what I should do and she said you need to go somewhere now. I called my mom and she started to freak out and worry about me because I have constantly been sick since being at Tech and she was finally done with it. She left work, got into the car, and drove here to Blacksburg. She picked me up after english class and took me to the urgent care facility in Christiansburg where we spent the majority of the night. They ran a lot of tests on me like mono, pneumonia, strep, and took vials of my blood to see if I had any viral or bacterial infections. My temperature was up at 103 and I was getting very dilutional. The mono, pneumonia, and strep all came back negative and we are still waiting on the results for the viral or bacterial infection that will come in probably tomorrow morning or afternoon. All I want is to actually me healthy again and not have to always feel awful. From three spouts of Tonsillitis to now this, I just can't deal with my immune system anymore, it hates me and I hate it. I was really happy and grateful that my mom came here today because she comforted me and loved me while I was going through everything. It meant a lot that she took the time to drive 3 and a half hours to take me to the doctor and then sleep on my brothers couch at his apartment. I am so lucky to have a mom like her! Hopefully come tomorrow I will finally know what is wrong with me and I can finally start on the road to recovery. College literally hates me clearly and I can't wait to start beating its butt! I am so ready to be back to my normal self again! It is literally all I could ask for right now.
