uh oh.

haha so last Friday I started feeling wicked sick, I think my roommate and I had a bug over the fourth of July weekend, and a little longer... she's getting much better pretty quickly, she's actually out for a run right now. I'm still stuck on the couch. I went to the doctor on Tuesday to be checked out. They took my blood and did some tests. The doctor came back in and said it's NOT mono (which is what I'd been worried about) but we still had some things to talk about... my red blood cell count is very low, which means dun duh dun! I'm anemic, my iron is wicked low! dangit. Yea this has happened before, but never ever this bad, never to the extent that I couldn't walk for more than a few seconds without needing help. I've never been so sick in me life. Well I guess it's not really sick, it's just a severe lack of something in my body... which can be bad. So now I'm taking iron pills and trying to eat better and such, but I think it must be pretty bad if I'm still so weak and dizzy. In a desperate attempt to find a way to actually pass my classes this semester, I called and went back to the doctor... I walked in to the rain, hoping they would have a solution for me, or at least something to help. The nurse walks in and says "ok so we're just doing the shot right?" I'm sure that my eyes got wider than they've ever been in my life. "A SHOT?!?" I screamed in my mind... then little by little panic started to set it. I actually handled it quite well considering. I kept myself under control, said a prayer and kept breathing. I called Hannah to keep myself distracted, and then I got a shot!! In the butt. Weirdest things ever, but it didn't hurt and I can walk for the first time in like a week!! It'll only last about a week or two, but that's just enough to get me through the semester!! So now off to the ceramics lab to work!! :)
