sick *blah*
If you are wondering why you haven't heard from, I am ok. Just sick as can be right now. It started last week and I thought I had the same thing as James, but now I think it may be strep throat and a pretty bad case too. I get strep throat numerous times a year, always been a problem for me. I had it so much as a child (monthly at least) they had to remove my tonsils because they were so swollen and damaged, it made me have trouble breathing. I feel like crap today. Last night, I had the chills so bad, I could not stop shivering. I got under 4 blankets and still felt like I was freezing. I took some ibuprofen and later woke up sweating, probably because the fever broke. It sucks :( I plan on going to student health at 4 PM today because that is when the doctor is in.
On saturday, I was laying on the couch because I felt like crap (not as bad as I do today though) and James went to toss me my mail. The corner of the envelope hit me right in the eye and scratched my eyeball. I fell of the couch and luckily my head hit the Love Sac and not the floor. I was afraid of uncovering my eye, worried it was bleeding or something. Finally, I did and it was weird. Everything was blurry and it felt like a papercut...on my eyeball. So we went to Student Health, and the nurse first numbed my eyeball (supposedly, I didn't sense the numbing at all), they dyed my eye orange (she literally took a strip of paper with an orange tip and touched my eye with it in numerous places) so she could see if it scratched the cornea. Luckily, it didn't, but she said it was still a nasty cut. She then washed my eye out with a saline solution and put antibiotic drops in it. I HATE anything touching my eye (except my own finger, which I can do, strange). I cannot apply eyedrops even. She had to hold my eye open very forcibly to do this, it sucked. To let you know how blurry everything was before, she checked my vision and I had 20/70 vision and this is my good eye! Meaning, it really disrupted my vision because normally, I have a closer to normal vision in that eye (my other one, not so much).
I feel weakr and my muscles ache. I have to go to class this afternoon because he only gives us 3 absences and I already missed two. It is tempting to go back to bed though and sleep until I have to go to the doctor. I also have chapter tonight at my sorority, and they recently made a rule that you cannot miss more then 4 events a semester. I found this out after I missed my 4 events. Sucks. I may write an excuse anyway, unless of course no one minds getting my illness since it seems everyone I know is catching it.
I am drinking som hot tea and ate some yogurt. The coldness felt good, and help make it easier to swallow since it hurts so bad to do so. Now the tea feels good, and if only I could stop freezing...:(
