Welp...
So it's been a real trip lately. Yesterday was by far, the "best". I woke up in the morning with a 101.8 fever, and still a crazy headache and my back hurt so much. So, I made a doctor's appointment. Katie took me (thanks, Kates, for everything) and my doctor said there was no way it was stress, and he wanted to take me to the ER to have a spinal tap done, b/c he thought it might be viral meningitis. After a painstaking call to my Mom at work, she was at the hospital with me, and we were waiting to get the spinal tap done. The fun part is, since they thought I might have it, I wasn't allowed in the waiting room of the hospital. We stood in the hallway for about 5 minutes before they brought me into the negative pressure room... where they put all of the highly infectious and contagioius diseases. Yes, I felt like a walking germ...
The spinal tap... well, let's just say that a foot-long needle in between the discs in my back is not my idea of a good time. And it hurt. And who created Johnnys, anyway?! Afterwards, I had to lay there for 2 hours while waiting for results, which came back negative, and then go home and lay on my back for 12+ more hours. I called Munch and Katie at work, who were worried sick by then (thanks guys) and told them I was in the clear. They came by later with flowers, delivered by their own gloved hands and masked faces (I hate you guys... but thanks!). We hung out for a bit... Until the painkillers were wearing off of me, and I started feeling awful again.
Last night was a great time. I had an even bigger fever (102.2) at almost 2am. I was pretty much scared stiff. I'm still not sure how I can tackle preseason like this. I am feeling better, but still not 100%. I need to be 110% for preseason. I don't know where I am going to find it, but I have to...
As for right now, I am going to attempt a shower. Since Tuesday morning, I haven't been able to stand up long enough to take one. Yuck, I feel gross.
Thanks to everyone for your concern and support, but especially to Munch, Katie, Lisa, Joe, Tony, Jeff, and Beta Rho.
I appreciate it.
