An apple a day, right?


So first off, Please allow me to say:

I SPEND WAY TOO MUCH TIME AT THE HOSPITAL.
Also, i have no idea how to get back to the old post page! This one is ghetto and won't let me choose my font or anything!

Yesterday I told my mom I needed to go see the doctor because I have a really nasty skin irritation, bruises, bumps and swollen lymph-nodes that I've had it for about 2 weeks. Anybody guess what the irritation and swelling was??

Shingles.
Yes, adult chicken pox.
My question: Where the hell did i get them from??

I'm not sure any of you know what shingles are (or if there even are "any of you"), but these tiny blisters burn, sting, itch, and worst of all, occasionally feel like millions of the most painful bruises, all over your body. Even in spots where there are no visible irritations, you feel pain. So much so that I was prescribed Vicodin. I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW I WAS IN THAT MUCH PAIN!!!! But apparently, it gets worse from how i feel now.

Now please, lets do some medical math together, class.
(Shingles + Mono (I've had mono for nearly 2 months now with no relief) + 2 Infected Ears) x Diabetes = ?????????

Anybody think they know??
Well, whatever you're guess, you're wrong.
And the answer is: A heart rate of 139!
I'm the Pi of medical cases, they NEVER end.

To round this story up, I got to the Hospital at 9am, left at 3:45pm, had 3 bags of IV fluid, and they sent me home with a resting heart rate of 109, because the urgent care doctor thought it was no longer concerning.

Any body else out there ( anybody?) annoyed with doctors who look suicidal? And who "settle" on false diagnosis/don't address all your symptoms/are old hairy and obscenely overweight??
Give me you're thoughts, tell me I'm rediculous, whatever.

But of course... I have to ask


Is anyone listening??
