Attacked...

Yesterday was rough. I had been super tired for two days prior with some unknown cause. Then yesterday morning I woke up and was hit by extreme nausea. I stumbled to the bathroom and nothing came out. Exhausted and bothered, I went back to my room and sat down on the bed, hoping the nausea will ease. While slowly it seemed to be disappearing I suddenly get a crazy gurgling sensation in my abdomen... Uh-oh, I thought, this signifies disaster! And yes, a disaster it was. I swear that it felt like I lost 2L of pure water from my body. Later on around noon I started getting chills and within 30min I had a fever spike. Well, I definitely couldn't read any more lectures for the day (I had trouble steadying myself even), so I went home and lay in bed shaking in sweat. It was pleasant... not. First week of the semester and I caught a bug. Luck or no luck? You decide.

While I was resting with a fever, my lovely friend Andra came by with juice and water for me and she actually stayed to watch one episode of House. That was very nice of her. After she left, I tried to sleep but couldn't - all I could think about were the symptoms I had and time of onset, trying hard to diagnose myself. I was happy that I finally understood the definition of ACUTE onset. When my fever subsided a little I skyped my mom and got her all worried (oops). But today I felt much better. The only thing that was still bothering me a bit was the dizziness I felt. But my tube was not leaking in either direction (think about it...)! Time to catch up on studies. Two more days and I'll be doing my first Simman session. Four more days will be my first hospital visit. Will update then!

Have a good day and don't catch any bugs!
