Unbelievable

And no, I'm not talking about the scenery. Ughhhhh. Of all times to pick to get sick? And you didn't think I felt stupid enough to deal with a sprained knee? I must have picked up a nasty virus or bug and got laid out for several days. I think it was from something I ate, but Jaime just told me that there is something going around. I ended up at an ER at 3 am (1/2 hr away) to be told what I knew they would say anyway: Go home and wait it out. 2 days later and 8 spikes of 103+ fevers, I went to the local clinic and the doctor said I have gastroenteritis. She said it didn't matter too much if it was a virus or bacterial because the treatment is all the same -- do nothing and let the body do its work. But they ended up giving me 2 IV bags because I was dehydrated from the effects. They were very nice (unlike the doctor we called at night who was yelling at me because I didn't know what my temperature was in Celsius), but they had a difficult time finding my veins. So, if you run into me, I am not a junkie, no matter what my arms look like.
