FogSage Sorry to hear you had such a rough night, NG. In an amusing twist, today's US History class turned out to be quite entertaining. It all started with the Scopes Monkey Trials, and Baptist Preacher said that evolution was a theory and thus could not be proved to be true. Champion of Justice (a kid in my class) said that religion was nothing better nor worse than scientific theories and also could not be proved. Before I knew what was happening, they were getting into it. Baptist Preacher was pulling out all the stops, quoting the Bible excessively, and completely ignoring scientific reasoning. Champion, however, like Clarrence Darrows in the Scopes Trials, used the Bible's own words against him and they then discussed politics. Somehow they began arguing about the competency of a politician (Foley, that internet predator b*****d), and Baptist Preacher made the mistake of saying "That's almost as bad as being a homosexual." The class erupted in noise. Champion started asking on what basis we should be judging our political candidates, and Baptist Preacher started saying stuff like "If a candidate for president comes up and he's a gay, I will not be voting for him, even if he supported all the things I do. If he is gay, he will bring with him corruption and vice and will destroy the sanctity of marriage and blah blah blah." Champion pwned him, to make a long story short. It was funny. After class, I walked up to Champion and said, "My good sir, I applaud your logic." Champion said, "Didn't he threaten to choke you once when you were discussing homosexuality with him? If he ever gives you BS like that again, just tell me and I'll beat the s**t out of him." I do think I've made a friend. mrgreen Woah... You do have a new friend. 3nodding I love it when overly religious, close minded freaks get pwned like that.

UglyCoyoteNG Okay, so. This bites. Last night, while talking with Rin, I suddenly felt sick. I ran off to the bathroom, ans spent the next...45min retching. Woo for retching! Vomited once, and then continued retching, and since my nose was stuffed up, I couldn't exactly breathe. So for the next two hours, I went back and forth between the bathroom, retching, and the couch, trying to sleep. That didn't work, so to the hospital we went! after an saline drip, two painkilling injections, a G.I. Coctail, and some pills, I was sent home at 7AM. (we got there at 12) and mom went to twork, after spending the night in the hospital. Thankfully, the room had a bench mom slept on with blankets. The medical staff, aside from the actial doctor who i didn't have to deal with, was fine. The nurse was persistent about the IV, yet very good about me being a wuss of the needle. She was very nice, pushy yet gentle too, which in my eyes, makes a very good nurse. Another nurse was taking care of mom; she was giving her blankets and a pillow so mom could sleep, and talked to me for a bit. she made me laugh, and when my pain started to come back, she was the first to pester the doctor, who was on a lunch break, to come fix it. The whole night was a nightmare, i was hypervenilating and shocky due to the pain, and I couldn't sleep, because I was in pain. I was to weak to do the normal things that make it go away, so All I could do was sit there and squirm and whimper. I finealy passed out, and when the nurse came in, she removed the IV and sent me home. I don't remember getting home, either. all I remember was seeing phantom, who'd been right next to me before I left. I think he knew I needed him, because he sat next to me while I was panting, and just looked at me like "Are you okay? Do you need me?" which made me feel better. So i slept til about 5, and i'm up now, hopefully tonight'll be okay. Man..that sucks. Hope you get better. >.<

Crenn Woohoo! I got a cutlery set! You > Stalin He apparently didn't know how to use cutlery. Neither do I, by the way; a knife is for cutting things. -- NG..., I would imagine by this time you have a strong distaste for hospitals, right? I can certainly understand that. I've been in them even less and they still creep the bejesus out of me. neutral

Thanks Fog, Kakky.
I'm happy to say i'll be reciveing two parts out of my whole dollfie in a week or so, and the tablet I bought Rin will be there either tomarrow, ir is already there today! She cant check, due to the fact the student mail center closed. sigh~
--Shaviv-- Actualy, hospital staff is useualy very nice. I get warm blankets, I get to be in a place I know is germ free, I'm not in pain, and I'm useualy in an out-of-body experience due to pain meds. Its the only place right now I feel thuroughly comfortable and safe. Poking the needle into my arm and insurting the IV is a little painful, aswell as ripping off the bandaids to get the IV out. Other then that, I'm okay.

Af Mas Krissim Klaw Krissim Klaw This weekend had been a very, very, very stressful one, on so many fronts. Then to push it over the edge, I got a call this morning from my mom in tears that my grandmother (her mother) was in the hospital very sick near death. I think at that point the whole family new that this would not be something she was going to be able to bounce back from. I mean everyone was hopping, but there was also this very strong possibility that tommorrow they would be going in to basickly pull the plug and let her pass. Ultimatly, grandma decided on her own it was time, and I got a call a couple hours ago that she was gone. It is a very hard time, made even harder that I am seven hours away from home and unable to comfort my mother or father at this time. Yep, requoting since this was either missed or just completely ignored. neutral Erf, I'm sorry to hear that Kriss, I really am. I almost dealt with that last weekend with my dad, but I was lucky enough to be home when it all happened, and I'm lucky he's okay But I'm sorry she's gone. I hope you'll be okay Thanks for the kind words, and I'm glad your father is doing better. Anytime breathing is affected, things can get real scary. Hopefully he will only get better though and never have this strange virus come back.

UglyCoyoteNG I'm pretty sure it was missed, as I doubt anyone would ignore you here. (At least I wouldn't!) I'm sorry about this, Its hard loosing a family member, especialy, I belive, one your not as close to as your mother or father. Because they're hurting, and you really can't console them as much as you'd like. Its tough being apart when you know your parents are very sad. I hope things get less stressful. If you ever want to talk, i'm always all ears for you. smile Thank you for the nice words. I hope you end up feeling better though. Anytime you end up in so much pain you have to go to the hospital, I know things have to be really bad. I pray your body is able to heal itself as quickly as possible.

Um...I had an abcess (sp?) on my back that bugged the living hell out of me for about a week...it finally popped/drained on Sunday. A coworker drained most of it for me (which was about 20 minutes of her pushing on my back and me screaming in pain in the back office while guests checked in up front wondering what the hell was going on.... sweatdrop ). They told me to see a doctor, so I did on Monday. I hate regretting things, but that was a big waste of time. For one, the doctor HURT ME!!! (Okay, I know it had to be done, but still!) But the only difference between the doctor and Latasha was the doctor drews a big circle around it, slapped a bigger bandaid on it, and charged me an arm and a leg (I'm uninsured...I shudder to think what the bill is gonna look like...I haven't got it yet.... stare )
BUT on the bright side, it's healing....What once was a big swollen boil about the size of a golf-ball that stuck out about full inch from the rest of my back is now a tiny little hole surrounded by a bruise. The itching is supposedly a good thing; means that it's healing...but I could still do without it....
Thought I'd share that with everyone.... sweatdrop

I just find it amazing that maggots and leaches have become to be very helpful tools in present day medical science. I mean we have tiny little lasers to patch holes in veins, but we still can't compare to the healing abilites that maggots can offer when healing some wounds. whee
