It's gotten even worse.

Yeah, as bad as this sickness was to begin with, it's gotten even worse in the last two days. I woke up yesterday around 6 am with an upset stomach. I thought it might of just been what I ate last night. Anyway, long story short, I ended up throwing up twice and there was blood in it. On top of that, I blew my nose and it was mostly blood. So I started freakin out. I woke Bianca up to have her take me to the hospital then Pre-Med our new roommmate came down and said that I should wait a little while and maybe just go to a doctor instead. Sometime among all that I had Bianca call my mom because I had totally lost my voice by then and my mom left from Columbus to head this way. By the time Mom got here, we had concluded that the reason why I was vomiting blood was because I had busted a blood vessel in my nasal cavity because of it drying out somewhere and it drained into my stomach and made me sick. After I while, my nose stopped bleeding and I decided not to go to the doctor because I have no insurance and can't afford it.

So sometime after my mom got here, she was sitting on the floor by my feet and asked me if I had a fever, so I leaned forward for her to feel my forehead and in the process knocked my cell phone into a cup of apple juice on the floor. What are the odds? So my phone was dead. Awesome. So after a day of laying on the couch, going in and out of sleep, my voice going in and out, my mom and I went to the Sprint store to try to replace my phone. We got a previously owned phone for half price which my mom paid for because I have no money. So yeah, I feel pretty crappy about that because it was my fault and my parents don't really have the money either.

Anyway, moving on. I got up this morning to go to work and felt nauseated again with very little voice left and really congested. I started working and just couldn't do it. After 4 trips to the restroom, I decided to go home where I threw up twice and have only eaten a few crackers and one pancake since.

So yeah, I'm still nowhere near healthy and the graduation celebrations start tomorrow. I'm supposed to have dinner with family in Columbus so I really hope I'm feeling well enough to go and be functional. I could use everyone's prayers to get back to health. I've never been this sick in all my life and it couldn't come at a worse time. So I just thought I'd let y'all know what's up and ask for ya to please pray pray pray for me. I need it. I hope everything is ok with all of you out there!

God bless!

Does the campus have a doctor or nurse that you can go to? Most of them do and don't charge anything. I would go first thing in the morning and maybe they can give you something for your upset stomach and anything else...especially since graduation celebrations are to begin!

Praying for things to work out and you feel a billion percent better by tomorrow!

Lots of Love!

Oh my goodness, you're having a terrible time, aren't you? I'm so sorry, dear Pepto! I am so thankful your mom is around to help take care of you. Sorry about your cell phone. That sucks. At least they sell pre-owned! I know you feel bad about your mom spending the money, but it's a mom thing. Take my word for it, she'd have it no other way.

I'm praying for you to feel "all better" in time for all the celebrating! Much love!
