So over the weekend I started getting the chills feeling a little feverish. My joints were aching I'm thinking on getting that cold or flu that's going around. But by Sunday my throat is throbbing my lymph node on my left side is swollen and my ear starting to hurt. At 5 in the morning like oh my God I need to go to the ER and I do. The ER in town they do a flu test and a strep throat test along with cleaning my one ear out to see if it's an ear infection. Everything comes back comes back negative and then looks like there's nothing we can really do for you here you need to see your family doctor. And I like I'm in a lot of pain all over my throat swelling up so they give me magic mouthwash which supposed to know my throat until I can see my doctor.
Monday- ER visit to city hospital which should have admitted me..but I didn't have the flu so not a easy fix.
Tuesdays- My family doctor saw me. Saw family doctor and he was like you went to ER yesterday and they left you leave?? They should have admitted you. Im admitting you to the hospital..do you want Berkleysprings or City. Berkleysprings...it is as I shook my head at City. He called post my parents and Paul to tell them what was going on..called hospital so they knew I was coming. Within 30 mins I was in my room, getting blood work done, they redid the strep and Flu test cause well if you saw me..I had 4 nurses in my room taking care of me getting me hooked up to machines. I listened to them talking about and how its in my chart that City Hospital ER left me leave looking like this..but her throat look at the lymph node. BTW- I also find out I'm allergic to antibiotics this day as I had bad reactions to both of them. The first one started itching around IV spot, turned red and I got a bunch of white bumps that reminded me of been strings. Once that gets situated all the test starts with an x-ray of my throat blood work done with full Works the even redo the strep throat and flu test to make sure the ER in town didn't fUck up. Turns out I have an abscessed tonsil and that after I get better I probably need to get my tonsils removed.
Wednesday- Dont remember much as I slept most of it. They had me on steroids to help with the inflammation in my throat. They stopped this in the afternoon which meant by the enev my face and chest broke out in rash and I find out I am allergic to the second antibiotic that they are giving me that why I was going to steroids repressed my allergic reaction to. And my nurse was calling my doctor at home while she gave me Benadryl cuz it was on my list of medicines I could have. No more antibiotics the rest of night keep giving me Benadryl in the morning we will try a third antibiotic.
Thursday- see my doctor and he looks me over still have little rash on cheeks but much better. If I don't have allergic reaction to the third antibiotic I get to go home. So my nurse hooks me up to a new antibiotic and she sex with me and I look at her and I'm like I'm good I'll call you if I need anything and she's like I'm sitting with you for at least 10 minutes that way if you have an allergic reaction I'm here. No reaction. But she hits the little button to put it at full speed dripping into me and leaves. Im like she turned it on high and that hurts pumping into me. I call her back and not her but another nurse comes rushing in. Im like I'm OK...but can u turn down the speed...it kind of hurts, I don't mind staying longer to slow it down. They were both like oh thank god, yeah we can turn it down some. They did and look at me. Im good that feels better.
And that's a long ass post about my first time in the hospital cause of a pissed off tonsil.
