IT'S A SMALL WORLD!!! ER ANGEL

How awful I woke up on Monday morning at 6a.m. and just ran to the bathroom. I WAS SICK!!! I couldn't believe it I never get this sick...After about 11 hrs. of non-stop vomiting and diarrhea my back was in pain. Not normal for me at all. I started to get worse and the pain became excruciating to me. While, I was in this much pain I had to finally call Andre and tell him what was going on and where in the heck I was going...So, I took a well unwarranted trip to the ER here in wonderful SCV, Ca. I hate the hospital here!!! It's horrible!!!

They actually told me if I couldn't take the pain to try to lay on the floor...Did, I mention, I was crying my eyes out and doubled over in my chair when they told me this....Right as the guy told me this, I puked on the security guards shoes also...Not my finest moment but, I felt a tiny better...since he told me to lay on the floor.... Did, I also mention that they are under heavy construction and the floors there are horribly dirty just like all hospital floors... SO GROSS!!! I thought I was going to die in that dang chair...

IT'S A SMALL WORLD!!!!AND PRAISE THE LORD FOR IT!!! When the Triage Nurse came out to see me after the security guard told him how sick I was, he came over and said are you O.K.? I was balling in my chair with puke under me and when I looked up...I KNEW HIM & HE KNEW ME!!!! Right off the bat he said CARITA WHAT's WRONG? OMG!!! IT WAS MY NEIGHBOR!!!! He got me in right away to see the DOCTOR!!! So, after 3 bags of IV and a hearty glass of charcoal. A nice try on the bed pan - (That just doesn't feel normal I don't care who you are it just doesn't). The diagnose is : DEHYDRATION, KIDNEY INFECTION, UTI, & SEVERE CASE OF THE FLU!!!!

Here, I am now some what better after Andre took care of me for 3 days. He was so great to make sure I didn't lift anything or have to get my meds or anything he walked Tonka, cooked for me, all I could have was soup from the can. Hey he turned on the stove!!! That's all I can ask for when I'm sick.

I'm feeling much better now and hopfully will go outside to go for a little walk at sunset. For all those who called an wished me well, THANK-YOU. I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR CARING.
