<-- Me and my battle wounds (you can't tell very well from the picture, but my left eyebrow is still a little swollen and definitely still bruised, along with my nose and the bump on the back of my head).
--> My current, safely-grounded bed (climbing up my ladder to my loft after Thursday morning was NOT an option). I like to call it my cozy sleeping hideaway. Not the comfiest, but it works for now.
So for those who have not heard, I've been pretty sick lately. I woke up Wednesday morning feeling feverish and unwell and then Thursday morning I ad Shirin take me to the Wellness Center after I fainted a few times in the bathroom and got some nice lumps on my eyebrow and the back of my head, and a cut on my nose (and some minor bruises and bumps here then there). The Wellness Center is on campus and just around the corner from my dorm so it was not the greatest distance. The doctor said that I have/had the flu and determined the fainting was from dehydration.
So, after only one missed class, and a whole day and a half of sleeping and drinking (water of course), I'm feeling much better but still cough my head off every once in a while. My battle wounds are still there and just as comfortable as ever, but everyone's been extremely nice and wonderful. It's like I have 10 or so parents/doctors to make sure I'm drinking enough and taking care of myself! So don't worry. I have learned my lesson well. ALWAYS drink enough water, but ESPECIALLY when you have a fever.
I hope I didn't alarm anyone too much. I plan on continuing my sleep/drink/study pattern throughout the wonderfully free weekend and will go pick up my prescription for a flu medicine tomorrow. Oh, and I managed to take my Spanish test today and think I did okay despite the fact that I didn't really study at all because I was busy recovering. So yay!
Anywho, my little sleeping hideaway calls so I must answer. 'Night everyone and happy February!
Love, Kaia
