being sick: round three, go!
I SWEAR TO FUCKING GOD I HAVE SPENT THE COUPLE MONTHS SICK BASICALLY NONSTOP.
Like, as soon as I recover enough to start living my life again, BAM!! Get fucked, dipshit!!!!!!! I was sick with some sort of horrific bacterial infection over Thanksgiving for about two weeks, I recovered just in time for finals, and then got COVID over Christmas & New Years. I felt mostly better by my birthday (though not 100%, by any means, but like....better-ish) AND NOW, GUESS WHAT!!!
FUCKING SICK AGAIN.
I spent nearly 4 hours in the emergency room last night, because I was having severe trouble breathing + chest pains, and those are the sorts of things that they're like "oh shit, you gotta seek medical attention NOW" sooooo I did. And it was a huge waste of my time, besides the IV of fluids I got because I was severely dehydrated. I keep having massive coughing fits any time I swallow anything at all, including water, so while I usually drink 100+ oz of water daily, I hadn't been able to.
BUT BESIDES THAT??? NOOOOOOOOOOOOPE. I should have just gone to the urgent care I usually go to; it would have at least taken less time for basically the same results!!!!! The ER staff kept trying to give me meds that interact with my mental health meds, and then seemed lost and and confused when I actually knew and cared about drug interactions. Like, yes, sorry, I can't take NSAIDs and would prefer if you didn't give me them??????????????
Don't worry though!!! They REALLY wanted to push the ~magic mouthwash~ instead of anything else, which is legit just a numbing mouthwash that is supposed to make it easier for me to swallow but in actuality did basically nothing at all. I dunno what kinda kickbacks they're getting for pushing it, but goddddd I was so tired of hearing everyone call it that by the end.
Anyway. Liz took me to Taco Bell afterwards, despite the snow causing the first one we tried to close early, and that healed me....or at least I was able to eat for the first time in 24 hours, which helped a lot.
It's the first proper snow we've had in like two years, and instead of being able to frolic in it, I'm just sick ;w; I'm so upset!!!! I'd been having fun with
threesentenceficathon too, but now my brain is mush from being sick. Can I catch a fucking break please????????

I wish I could punch all your sick in the teeth and then kill it dead five-ever. You deserve to be able to frolic and write fic!!!! I don't have anything else useful to say, other than I am sorry for not listening to you and taking you to the ER instead of our usual urgent care cuz uh. wow did that ER suck.
