Absences
Yes, so I haven't posted anything on LJ for god knows how long ^^; I apologize for the long absence but I had my reasons. When ever I thought of a suitable entry I could never quite seem to summon up enough energy to finish it =P There, I said it xD
This time the case is a bit different, as I have spent the past 5 days at the hospital I've had nothing but rest and not-wasting-energy to do. The fact that I felt nauseous and dizzy every time I left my bed also contributed to this.
So, time for some story-telling. I woke up on Saturday morning feeling slightly cold, which I blamed my father for, since he keeps playing with the darn heaters >> Anyway, later on during the afternoon, while I was all alone and talking to Richie, I started feeling worse and checked my temp with I think was 38ish something. Long story short, after that my temperature just kept on rising and rising and then would suddenly go down again, yo-yoing between 38 and 42 all the time.
If you've read my LJ entries you will notice that I've been sick a few times the past months, because of this and the stubbornness of my current illness we drove down to the local free clinic on Monday morning where we were sent us from one nurse to another doctor until finally after a few tests a doctor told us that we needed to head up to Drottning Silvia Sjukhuset (A.k.a Östra sjkhs)
After a long wait for test results to come back, what my father and mother feared and I jokingly brushed off as impossible, we were told that I had to stay over. And that one night somehow turned into 3 more as the doctors were unable to find the source of my illness as blood tests, ultrasounds, x-rays and all other test showed nothing. Most tests however I should tell you weren't general tests to see what could be wrong all over my body; they were specified to my kidneys as I have trouble with them since before the doctors seemed to take it for granted it was an infection in one of them.
During the days I stayed at the infection clinic I slept a lot, watched TV, talked on the phone with Rich or my parents to inform them about current health news and got needles stuck into me >__> My high fever also came back a few times a day but they fought it with panodil and antibiotics so I don't freeze to death every time my temperature is going up anymore ^^; I was, to my delight, visited by my friends on Thursday: Sarah (Who also came again today! =D) Kim, Jen and Megan on Thursday after the stress for their National Math's B test had been removed. However, the doctors scheduled my for a X-ray at the same time that they were to arrive which meant that they had to wait for a little less than 2 hours -.- Anyway, I had a really nice time and if I don't thank you guys for taking your time to come over, I thank you now! ^__^;
As I have been wanting nothing more than to come home all week the doctors and nurses decided that I should be allowed to go over the weekend, the catch of course being that I return on Monday morning since it is still unclear what is wrong with me and why it won't go away despite the persistent treatment~~ I still feel very ill and not strong enough to stand up for more than a few minutes but at least my appetite has returned and I actually feel like eating different foods :)
I cut out large chunks of what really happened but this is long enough now =)
With love, Aarti
