Thank you medicine!

I would just like to take a moment to say that I am thankful for medicine.
After my blog post complaining about being sick the other night, things got much worse.
My head stayed in the toilet nearly all night, which was super awesome.
I felt like dying.

I went to the doctor yesterday morning, and I am SO glad I did.
I got an antibiotic shot and was hooked up to an i.v. to get fluids and nausea medication.
I was sent home with two antibiotics and a steroid.
Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

My throat feels ten times better.
I am not coughing as much.
I can breathe out the right side of my nose.
My headache isn't as bad.
I actually slept all night!
I haven't thrown up in almost 24 hours!

THANK YOU MEDICINE!!!

Sick Complaints

I have been waiting on this day for weeks. I am DONE with the fall semester, and it's looking like all A's is good possibility...

But, I am NOT happy!
Why???
Because I am SICK.
Not sick, not feeling well sick. Sick that makes me want to die, sick.

I have bronchitis and strep throat. And, I'm 95% positive I also have a sinus infection.

I cannot breathe out of my nose at all and it hurts to breathe out of my mouth.
I cannot taste food and it hurts to swallow what I eat.
I feel extremely nauseated, I have only thrown up once though. Kind of wish I would again, just for momentary relief from my stomach being angry.
I feel like my brain is going to explode out of my ears/eyes/nose. (Yes, it hurts that bad).
I am more than exhausted but I cannot sleep because of my uncomfortable state.
My lungs are probably detaching (from whatever in the world is holding them in place) because of the amount of coughing I am doing.
I am burning up one second and freezing the next. 
I am shaky and very disoriented.

Thank you for listening to me whine.
And sorry if you found any of that disturbing.

On a brighter note:
My mom made me vegetable soup.
My roommate got me awesome bedtime slippers and Hershey's milk chocolate.
I am on an antibiotic.

Side note: My request to throw up was granted as soon as I finished the previous sentence.
I know, it's gross. Sorry.
