Thanks Maria, it is great to be back!!! ...well, sorta back...on Sunday, we went back to the house after bid day and everything was great! I got to see the house for the very first time (it's amazing!!!), got to meet a bunch of the new girls, and just had an amazing time being back.
Well, unfortunately, I had been rather sick during recruitment. At first, I convinced myself that it was just the stress of school and the heavy Rho Chi/Recruitment workload, but I had been vomiting since Friday, had headaches, fevers, and chills. So, then I decided I must be coming down with a flu bug and said to myself "don't worry, you'll take it easy next week."
Very early Monday morning, I woke up to go to the bathroom and threw up again! I decided to just sleep on the futon in our living room because my room is downstairs and I have a loft and I didn't want to be diving down and running to the bathroom if I got sick again. Needless to say I didn't go to class and I slept most of the day. At some point I ended up back in my room on my own futon.
To make a very long story a little bit shorter...sometime later that night my roommates came home and called out to me and I wouldn't wake up, they came in my room and went to shake me and I was burning up, I had vomited on myself, the floor and my futon and didn't seem to realize it, and when they finally woke me I didn't know who I was and I had a temperature of 104.7.
They got me up, changed my clothes, got my neighbor to come out and carry me, called my parents, and took me to the hospital. I was so bad off they took me into the emergency room almost immediately...but not until my delerious self tried to answer insurance questions and told the lady at the desk the my social security number was "8 'o clock" (which is the new favorite joke in my house). They ran every single test imaginable, including a spinal tap. Let me tell you that it was good that I was delerious because I am such the biggest pain wimp.
So, I ended up having viral menengitis (which I guess is the good kind to have if your going to get it) and I was hospitalized for three days with an IV dripping endless amounts of fluid into me so that I swelled up like a balloon! I am also now a pin cushion because I have so many needle marks and black & blue bruises!!! It sucked!!! 21 years old and this was the first time anything like this had ever happened to me...no broken bones, no surgeries, no hospital stays ever! To end a long story, even though I just came back to my chapter, I had to leave again already!!!
Welcome Back, Leslie!
