This had to be the worst week of my life. On Tuesday I was constantly throwing up but luckily it only lasted for several hours, but then on Wednesday I had a slight fever but I was feeling better and was pretty much all ready to go to school until I was trying to go to sleep and had what felt like heartburn. I tried to ignore it until about 3AM the pain in my abdominal area was so intense and painful that I was just yelling and moaning in pain so loud that my parents both woke up and didn’t know what else to do besides call 911.
The police came first while we waited for the ambulance. It turns out that our preferred hospital is on diversion and has been for 2 days so I was sent to the next closest one. Luckily, the time I got there the pain was already subsiding. I get a blood sample taken and I’m put on IV which had some medicine for the pain. It turns out that the pain was caused by dehydration from an epidemic-like stomach flu going around. Even at about 5AM, there were 2 other people that had the same thing as me.
I’m still feeling pretty weak and my stomach still feels like it just needs to rest. I’m just hoping I’ll feel well enough to watch the Super Bowl and maybe go to a party for it.
