HOSPITALity

When was the last time any of you have been to the hospital for yourself? For myself I'd have to say about five years and I remember it like it was yesterday. I felt horrendous and couldn't for the life of me get comfortable. I kept getting hot so I would go outside to cool off regardless of the fact that it was the tail end of summer in North Georgia but when I would go outside I would be shivering so I would go back inside. My throat was killing me as though I had drank two bottles of straight up Tabasco and I had a headache from hell. When my dad came home from work he took me to the ER. We waited and waited and waited then I was called back. The doctor suspected I had Strep but it was hard to do the test since I kept drifting in and out of sleep. But after doing the test and waiting more we found out I did indeed have Strep. First time I've ever had Strep and I hope it was the last. Though for now I'm sitting in the ER five years later with a possible cold, mere child's play compared to Strep but a pain none-the-less. Also I'm having pelvic pains which I could say is a signal that I'm starting my period soon. The only reason I'm here is so I can at least get checked out and get an excuse if need be. Without one work can't really verify that I came here or if I'm truly sick. I feel so ick right now.

The ER is eerily quiet except for the receptionist chatting away with a security guard and the rather large HDTV showing a tennis game from earlier today. I could change it but I'm content with the free wifi they're graciously providing. I've never heard of a hospital with free wifi but I love it. Maybe I can watch Sean's vid opening up the package I sent him A MONTH AGO. I brought my external HD as well just incase I felt like a game of WoW to pass the time. I'll be here for a while I suspect so I'm trying to make the best of it. Maybe I'll dust off Photoshop and work on some icons or a header for my livejournal. The Battlestar Galactica one is getting boring. I'm feeling like X Files, Farscape, or Doctor Who.

A girl and her family just came in. The girl was bawling. From what I don't know but it makes me feel like a jerk. Here I am, able to somewhat function, and there she is in excruciating pain. It's official, I'm a jerk.

I may or may not post another blog before my visit is over. In the meantime, check this out. It will blow your mind...assuming your a Star Wars geek like me.
