Illness


Yet again I'm pretty behind on this whole blog thing, but I'm doing my best. I already wasn't too amped up for spring break to begin, even though it was nice to sleep in everyday and just hang out. But to my surprise, I fell really ill over the last half of spring break. On that Wednesday I had to leave my tennis lesson early and go home because I felt sick to my stomach. The next day I had a fever, along with 5-6 days after that. On Friday I woke up with a huge rash all over my arms and legs which was super painful. I have never been so sick in my life!

I missed three days out of last week, too. I went to the doctor 4...I repeat 4 times over the week that I was sick, each time doing different tests for my illness. I had to do blood tests...2 of which were for west nile virus and lyme disease?! Strep, influenza, mono, etc. EVERYTHING came back normal so I ended up just having this huge mystery virus taking over my body. The only thing the doctors put me on was this anti-histamine to make the rash go away, but other than that it was just rest and relaxation (sort of) and lots and lots of Top Chef, America's Next Top Model, and the Hills.

I also missed a couple of tennis meets and a lot of practices. But...we haven't had that much tennis anyways because of the snow/mix that we've been receiving this past week. Where are you spring? So that's my deathly illness that was taking over my body for week. I hope to never get that sick again, and hopefully my immune system will get better after this.
