Let's try this update thing again like I mean it.

I uploaded the photos to SG in hopes that they actually show this time around.

Thank you to those of you who have wished me well.

------------------------------------------------------------------

- I felt normal and pretty darn happy an hour and a half into my tattoo Sunday evening. That all changed rather quickly when I turned white, felt sick to my stomach, got dizzy, had a head ache, shook, had chills, the works. I hadn't ever felt that way before getting tattooed and the pain wasn't excrutiating so I figured it was a lack of sugar and I just needed sleep or perhaps I was sick from something else.

- I stayed up sunday night/morning sick to my stomach and feeling like I was going ot pass out or puke when I stood up. I think I ended up falling asleep around 4/5 in the morning after setting my alarm for noon.

- I overslept until 2 when I was supposed to be at work already, called, and rushed in still feeling icky.

- My symptoms didn't change all day Monday which made me worry a little, so I called my mom who suggested we go have me checked out.

- 11:something PM we arrived at the ER where they checked me in, made me pee in a cup, hooked me up to an IV, took 6 blood samples and gave me a tetnis(sp?) shot.

- 5:something AM I was able to leave the hospital with perscriptions.

- I don't remember much of yesterday aside from freaking out, sleeping, mom bringing me meds and food, and sleeping more.

- 9:30 Wednesday was my followup appointment where they told me I have a nasty stomach flu and I should stay home and rest. They don't think whatever illness I have is in any way related to my tattoo, thank God. It's healing pretty normally right now.

- 11:00 PM Wednesday I'm on the floor over a bucket wreching, shivering, cold as ice, etc. and have what they like to refer to as "loose stool".

- 2:15 AM ...Thursday I guess....I can't sleep, my stomach and throat are sore and every time I look at my tattoo which was supposed to remind me to be happy and have fun in life...just makes me feel emotionally sick with all of the physical illness that has been going on. I know they aren't directly related, but it's hard to separate the two right now.
