Are you restless like me?

Recovering.

I'm finally feeling a little better, but I'll be staying home again tomorrow to rest. My mom is worried I might have a secondary infection or something.

In summary, I felt fine all Saturday until after dinner. At around 7:30 I started feeling sick to my stomach and within 20 minutes I was puking. I lost count of how many times I threw up and my mom called the hospital and they said I should come in. I was so dehydrated by that point that I could hardly stand. They couldn't use the machine to take my blood pressure because it was too low. They finally got it and it was like 86 over 42, very low. They gave me a room and I had to wear one of those open backed gowns and I had an IV put in to get some fluids into me. At one point when I was coming back from the bathroom I passed out in my mom's arms. All I remember is leaning on the doorway then slipping and then all of a sudden there were more hands on me and they put me in a different bed. We found out afterward that passing out isn't uncommon with the medication they gave me, especially because I was so dehydrated. Over the next 7 hours my blood pressure came up and my stomach settled down and they sent me home at around 5 in the morning. Sunday is all a blur of waking up about every two hours. Monday I slept a lot, same with today. I couldn't work the polls because I still have a fever.

Now I'm just sleepy and my stomach feels fragile but I'm getting better.

Hopefully I'll be back to normal by Thursday.
