I hate being sick

So my awesome break...wrecked. The morning after my last post I woke up with a throat pain that made me want to throw up, except I knew that would make it hurt worse. This developed in to a nasty cold but I thought it was a cold and nothing more.

Yeah, I was wrong about that.

By the next day I was coughing up phlegm and mucus and such and I had a fever, and a really sore throat. So I got myself a ride down to the hospital (Thanks to Rosie!) and got checked out. 101 fever, dehydrated and just miserable. They put me on a fluid IV (I hate needles so that was an adventure in itself) and then X-rayed me. They also gave me medicine to tank the fever. Diagnosis: Viral bronchitis. Prescribed me a lot of soup, sleep and cough medicine.

Currently I'm still coping with a painful cough, fever (not as high though) and congestion, the throat pain is gone minus soreness from the coughing, but mostly I've stopped coughing things up and am back to eating non-soup foods!

Should be back in business this weekend.
