I was sick starting on saturday, missed some work, was nonsensical to kat, felt like hell. monday I was feeling kinda better and I watched that march of the penguin movie, then i noted that my tonsils were still really really inflamed, and then i went to get a drink of water and i started spitting up blood. I did this for about 15 minutes, then went to the hospital. I got an iv and antibiotics and fluids and stuff and am fine now, but it was a really weird feeling to be feeling mostly ok, then spitting up a fairly alarming amount of blood. I was looking at it as it was happening and was not panicked, just curious as to how I did not feel in any way I should be bleeding like that, that I felt mostly not bad by that point and this wasn't coming from me at all. It was also really weird to be telling the admitting nurse why you are there. It's weird to me that you can say,
"my throat won't stop bleeding"
"anything else? other symptoms?"
"also a fever."
"and"
"that, it. It's mostly just the bleeding really."
and then in the waiting room it started again and I had no sink and it was really gross. The whole weekend was awful and the worst I've felt in years and I don't recommend being sick to anyone ever.
