someone please shoot me now!

ok so if you read my blog you know I haven't been feeling well lately
it's been an on and off thing.
Today it hit its climax. I woke up with my throat as sore as the day I had my tonsils out. I was tired and had a headache. I decided enough was enough and that I needed to see someone at the health center. First off I don't see the doctor I want to see because I'm kind of a last minute appointment. I go in tell her everything and she decides to do a strep test and a mono test. OK fine...strep test negative....mono test was negative but she was concerned because of another set of numbers they look at for mono and she said mine were elevated and that it is highly possible I'm in the early stages of mono but that I just needed to take advil, a decongestant, and rest for the next three days. OK I wasn't happy about this because I knew I needed medicine..and MONO?!?!?? YIKES!!! Of course EVERYTHING runs through my head and I start freaking out. Anyways...
I go home and I barely remember driving home first of all. I then go to Kroger to get some juice, water, and a ton of gaterade and stuff to make me feel better. I almost pass out in Kroger-so bad to the point that someone asked me if I was ok. I was freezing cold and had my winter coat bundled around me the entire time. My energy level just went way down while I was in there and I felt my heart racing. I went home and decided I needed to go to the emergency room because SOMETHING wasn't right. My roomate takes me to the ER here in Findlay and I'm in there for a while....anyways...long story short...
The doc. in the ER said that if the mono test was negative then I don't have mono
that with all of my symptoms and pressure I was having in my head and the aching
that she believed I had a sever sinus infection. Ok....so relief. She gives me a massive shot in my ass (my ass still hurts) to take all the pain away that is going on EVERYWHERE in my body. I get a massive dose of antibiotic (THANK GOD SOMEONE GIVES MEDICINE) and some pills to prevent coughing (good since I'm a singer). So anyways....now I'm home I'm numb throughout my body because of the shot-it is quite nice. I'm pumping fluids and doing nothing but resting. This COULD NoT COME at a worse time!!!! We started opera rhearsals this week(musical coachings) and of course I missed my favorite one today which was the no. 5 quintet. I hope Andy got a chance to do it...he may get quite a bit of time this week to sing Papageno because according to the doctor's orders I am not to do anything for three days. I absolutely have no voice right now because my throat is swollen-so there's no way I can sing. IF these drugs kick in and we have rehearsals friday and I'm feeling better I will try my best to get back . I guess it's better this is happening now rather than like tech. week or something.
So anwyays...send good vibes my way if you read this....
XOXO
Justin

Just kidding! I hope you get well, and I'm sending good thoughts your way. I'll hold down the Papageno fort until you get back... but please, hurry back! I don't want the responsibility right now. Hahaha. Later- acf
