Adventures of an Eventful Day

My life from yesterday morning to today.

6:15am- wake up, feeling like a truck hit me, 3 hours of sleep most likely the reason
6:45- start work out at Rec Center
7:15- middle of the workout feeling nauseous
8:00- not feeling great, make the decision to skip 9am class
9:15- wake up from nap to go to my 10am class, i still feel like shit, but i have a paper due so I have to go
9:30- I vomit, I'm not going to class. back to sleep. I'm having sharp pains in my stomach, I still haven't eaten, pains in my stomach caused by the fact i haven't eaten.
11:15- wake up from nap again to go to my 12 calculus 2 class. We have a quiz and I can't afford to miss a class or I'll be super behind
11:35- I vomit again, and I start having diarrhea, I'm sick, I'm not going to class, I'm headed to the trainers room
12- Make an appointment with a trainer to come back in at 1:45 to see the doctor
1:45- By now I've vomited and had diarrhea about 6/7 times. I feel like shit.
2- I see the doctor, she believes I have a virus, and since I cant hold down liquids, I'm dehydrated, they want to give me IV.
2:15- They start to do the IV, they commend me on how well I deal with the needle going into my arm. I've never been afraid of shots or anything.
2:18- My had is tingling, I'm feeling lots of pain, I'm losing feeling in the arm they put the IV in. Also, I'm feeling extremely hot, I'm wanting to vomit, nothing coming out, the million ice bags they have on me aren't cooling me down. I'm freaking out.
2:20- My bicep is huge, like I'm muscular, but not that muscular, my blood pressure is low and is dropping. I've lost all feeling in my arm from my shoulder down.
2:21- Doctor come by, she tells them take out the IV, it's not going into my vein, it's going into my bicep muscle. They get the IV out as quickly as possible. They call the emt. My blood pressure is still low, I'm still hot.
2:25-I finally cool down, the emt gets there and they start running test.
2:30- Decided they will take my blood pressure, laying down, sitting up, and standing. It close to normal laying down, drops sitting up, extremely low standing. They want to take me to the hospital.
2:32- They put me in the wheel chair, I'm shaking, there is no way I'm getting out of going to the hospital even though I'm feeling better.
2:33- Get on and leave the training room in a stretcher . Get in the ambulance on the way to the hospital.
2:40- While in the ambulance they do an ekg, comes up a little abnormal
2:50- Get to the hospital, they look at the little abnormality, they assume drugs. The male nurse starts asking me over and over again if I do drugs, I keep replying no.
2:51- The super nice and funny emt guy, yells at the male nurse, saying shes an athlete, she does not do drugs. He makes the male nurse go silent. I was super happy he stood up for me, through all this chaos, I felt like I had somebody on my side. My feeling of being alone, is gone.
3:10- they take my blood, and run test.
3:30- A trainer Jen shows up and stays with me until we leave.
7:00- Get discharged finally, I find out I'm a little anemic, which is always something good to know.
8:00- back in my room laying down, two of my teammates visit me. Love those girls, it was super sweet they stopped by.
8:15- Friend N comes by with water, gatorade and crackers, the only things I can consume, super sweet of her, and she stays in my room and keeps me company.
10- Friend N leaves, I video chat with my girlfriend who was worried about me
2:45am- wake up only to realized I'm sleeping in a liquid pool of my poop. Utterly disgusted, everything is covered.
3:00am- washing my sheets
4:30- Pass the hell back out
11:30- wake up, take a shower, feeling better, still have diarrhea, but I stop vomiting so that's progress
2:15pm- I'm writing this post.

Past 24 hours have been crazy, but I am feeling better and out of the hospital.

bright side of my day- I stopped vomiting. =]
