Where have I been the last several days? I'd like to say in a drug enduced coma, but that is only half true. I have been sick, and working like a bitch. Friday I worked 3-11, then slept. Saturday 5-12:30, and thats when the fun happened. I had been feeling like crap for a few days and it just peaked Saturday night. I was up most of the night coughing. By the time the wee hours of the morning rolled around, I was coughing so hard that I was in turn, vomitting. I had to go to work for 9:30 and on the way vommited in the middle of the side walk.

When I got to work I was disoriented and not sure what was going on, and thats how my shift went. Until 2pm when I left to go to the hospital. I was there for a few hours before the diagnosis. Bronchitis, Whooping Cough, possiblity of the 100 day cough, and something that started with P that I had never heard of. They prescribed 4 different drugs (2 puffers, 1 pill, 1 liquid) and I went about my way. Picked them up and went home. Took what I was instructed to, and passed out by 8:30pm. I woke up at 2am, took the next dose I was supposed to, and crashed again.

This morning on the other hand, I woke up around 8am. I stepped out of bed and promptly fell over. I didn't know where I was or what was going on. I felt like I was going to vomit. I stumbled downstairs and sat drinking water for an hour and a half. I then made my way to school, feeling like shit, and not really sure if I was awake or not. The next few hours are a blur and I don't remember much other than my teacher questioning if I was alright, and saying I can have my exam moved if I continue to be like that.

Well, needless to say, I still feel like shit. I don't feel as bad as I did this morning, but I am yet to take the powerful medication meant to knock me out and cure me in my sleep. We will see how that goes over tonight. I hope it knocks me out. I lost the weekend to being sick and working, and lost most of today being disoriented, so I am not prepared at all to write the exam. It will cause me a ridiculous amount of stress tommorow if I have to deal with it. I'm sure she will be understanding.
