I'm On Steroids!

Today was pretty crazy. Well, I guess the beginning of the day was the crazy part. The middle wasn't very crazy. Who knows what the end will be...it's only 7 p.m. The night is young, especially for me, because I like to stay up late, you know.

Well, like many of you know, I've been sick all week. My cold developed into a really bad sinus/throat infection. The past two days it has hurt to swallow and yawn and just there was always pressure on my ears and stuff. So, I woke up at 6 this morning in a lot of pain, feeling like my ears were going to burst, and I was like forget this, I can't go all weekend like this waiting for antibiotics to kick in. So, I went to the hospital. Believe me, you would have too. It's no fun. So, my first doctor I saw there was some slightly crazy senile guy who seemed like he didn't like his job anymore. He asked me, "Have you ever been to this hospital before?" I told him no and then he's just like "well, it's overrated". What?? Haha, does that mean that the doctors are phonies or something, or do a lot of people die in surgery? It was kinda weird. And then he spent about 5 minutes talking about how I was going to get the flu and I was going to be puking everywhere and wouldn't be able to hold down fluids, so he preceded to tell me I would have to take shots of gatorade out of a shot glass 30 minutes at a time. I dunno why he was talking about that. But whatever. So after him I saw a nice nurse and she told me another doctor would be coming in. I guess they realized the first doctor wasn't cutting it. So this really cool doctor comes in and affirms that yes, I do have an ear infection and tells me that he's going to give me steroids and painkillers. Yessssss. So, about 20 minutes later the nice nurse comes in and puts ear drops in my ears, gives me a steroid pill, and then tells me she's going to give me a steroid shot in my hip. I would say it was my butt, but who cares? So she puts the shot in. The shot itself didn't hurt. It was like 3 minutes after the shot that I was in pain. That stuff was strong. It was like someone punched me in my hip and then the pain ran all the way down my leg. But, anyway, so they prescribed me painkillers and I was on my way. So, now I feel sooo much better. This has been a very stressful/painful week, but I'm thinking that's over. Thanks everyone that prayed for me to get better.

A&M lost to OU. We had a 14-0 lead, but I guess that just couldn't cut it. Reggie came out in the 3rd or 4th quarter, I guess he was injured. I think that and the fact that OU caught some good breaks cost us the game. After all, we only lost by 1 touchdown and an extra point. Reggie would've led us down the field to a touchdown. Probably. Whatever. At least we didn't crumble after the loss to Baylor.

Um, raccoons are crazy. But I'm down with them.
