Gosh Dangit!

Last night when we went to our formal dnner I could tell something was wrong with m throat, but it was more scratchy than sore, and so I figured it was allergies...or somthing. Then I had a bunch on drinks and went out to a bar afterwards, drank some more, and then went to bed at 2. SCU drunks are crazy, by the way. When we left Lisa with two strange men she was having trouble focusing on anything and said goodbe to the ground instead of me. I looked at the two guys she was with in case I needed to draw a police sketch later and then left here there since I don't really know her and the other people seemed to imply this was pretty normal for her. Cool.

So this morning when I woke up my voice was GONE! Completely, and my throat hurt really bad, and it was all scratcgy and gross, and while alcohol never does it any good, it was clear something worse was going on. I took an airborne and went back to bed for 2 hours. I thought I might have had a hangover evn though I did the two advil and two glasses of water thing, or maybe I was just tired. I did feel better when I woke up, but I didnt much want to see anyone, so I read some more for my tutorial tomorrow, and then went to the library and photocopied the chart I needed so I woudn't do as shitt a job on this weeks paper as last week.

Then I took the longest way possible to the luggage store to buy a new carry on bag (sort of an accident), got a sandwich, and came home. I took another airborne and went to bed for another hour. Now, I have finished most of my reading and taken another airborne, but I definately feel like I have a fever, and I haven't even gotten to where I am ready to start my paper. I am supposed to pack tonight so I could go to London tomorrow night to see my mom, but now that I am sick I am thinking she is the last person I should be seeing. Grrrrr. And now I have to go sit in that stuffy office and here how my piece-of-crap, fever-written paper is all wrong before coming back here and hoping I at least get well fast enough to spend the day with my parents and go see our show on Thursday night.

WHY!? WHY!? WHY!?

ack! oh no! did you know doctors are free in england? they have walk in clinics in the train stations too..i know i saw one in victoria station. i hope you feel better! and ihope your mommy is ok!

I better not need a doctor. I took some more advil and laid down for a while. I have officially slept so mich today that I can't sleep anymore. At any rate, I feel a bit better and my throat is less sore (Yeah Advil!) and now I have an outline for my paper. With any luck I will wake up much better, pack, edit my paper, and head off to London for the evening.

The doctor here certainly isn't free. Rachna got chicken pox and I think it cost her around 500 pounds toal for two visits, and all her medicines. Yikes!

BTW, I didn't know you broke your foot. Is that why your leg was all messed up or did you fail to mention this particular event?

Lilly K. said...

um...it isn't really broken per se...just stress fracture prolly but i refused to pay for xrays due to my craptacular insurance coverage so...i mean if the xrays showed it was broken then i'd be in a walking cast and since i can't walk normally without the cast for long before i am in pain, then i am just using the cast even though there is no official diagnosis of brokeness...

Don't you wish in a country with socialized medical care? Then you could have inefficient medica care for free, instead of having to pay or walk around with a broken foot, or something.

Lilly K. said...

yeah...well...god bless our capitalistic society. btw the insurance copay is worse than last year even so now i only get a 20 percent discount instead of only paying 20 percent of the medicine..lol..so i think my premium for allergy medicine will be a couple hundred bucks a month so i'm just building myself a bubble to live in. plus i have 2 months of medicine which i hope will last me for a while. yey

Ooo. That'd be sexy. Don't worry, Baby. I'll sell you some of my allergy medicine for cheap!

Aw, man, that's miserable! I've had pneumonia for the past two weeks, so I can kinda sympathize...
