It’s been about 5 days since I’ve gotten sick. I finally see things looking up. but for two days there, I felt like giving up and dying! Seriously, that’s how awful I felt. >.> I went to the ER in Spearfish with a temp of 102.00 and they gave me a prescription. I was out of there before I could tell them my name! garrr… So, my mentor took the script, got it filled and grabbed some fluids for me also. I called mom and told her the low-down. she was worse off than I was. @.@ So, on Friday I decided to go to Sioux-San IHS because my family was soo worried about me, AND I could not speak, TERRIBLE STUFF!!
PROCEDURE!! I was given an IV for fluids, pain meds, a steroid for swelling, and antibiotic. I went in at 3:30pm. and walked out, pain-free, at 7:45. It was indeed a long process, but I began to feel thankful by the time they stuck me for the 5th time and got the IV hooked up. I went back the next day to pick up the script, only to find out I had to wait another day AND almost get denied the script because one of the nurses that tended to me took it but never brought it to me. ~.~ Like I said, Terrible stuffs… In the end, I was able to visit my brother, his gf (Mo) and the gf’s family. The family was also very helpful, I can’t thank them enough for what they did. <3
I made it home today, and am started on the medication. I don’t know what it looks like school wise though. I was scheduled for a test that Thursday, but couldn’t even swallow water. I think I will rest one more day, and return on Tuesday. I only pray that my instructors and boss will be as nice and lenient as my brother and Mo’s family.
AS FOR A MORE GENERAL UPDATE >>>>
I have 5 days of classes, 2 finals and 1 project. Am also moving out of my current apartment and into a new one on the 7th of May. I will be living with 3 people, and the only one paying the rent. My REAL roommate will be in summer school, and will be living on-campus till July. I hope it works out, I really want to help my friends (the ones that are staying with me), and make sure they get up on their feet. I know what it’s like to be without money AND a place to stay once school is out.
Also, My friend NJ has decided to stay here for the summer, working for facility services. He is not happy with the job, but he understands that it will allow him to stay till the next semester. I don’t understand why he dislikes his country. He is the first to speak ill things about it, just that he would rather stay in the US than go home. Hmmm. Another Korean named K is staying also, I’m not too close with this one, but I have a feeling we will be close by the time the Fall semester ends.
this will not be too long, I promise!!
On another note, I’ve decided to change my major to Biology and stay here in Spearfish. I basically reverted to my original plan when I first came to college. I still plan to study abroad in Seoul, and think it will happen in another 2 years. I just hope I can still contact my Korean friends then; they might be all over the city/ country working by then. ~.~
I think that’s it for my updates. I think I should add more of a hobby-style to this blog. or maybe make another, just for my hobby?? Hmm, I’ll have to look into it. not sure what I’ll post. For sure my favorite pictures of celebrities, LOL and maybe news about One Way, because I really want others to learn about them, they are a great group. XD
Never did get around to celeb pics. BUT I have a different blog for that: http://www.daemunae.tumblr.com
It’s coming along nicely.
I got my tonsils removed in August, an update on my healing progress from the strep throat in May. I actually couldn’t get rid of it, it came back a day after I finished my antibiotics! Ridiculous.
