Emergency Room Blues

I've been sick for 3 days now. I have a blood infection.
The name escapes me now. Yesterday I went to the emergency
room. I was shaking so hard they had me lay
down......oh.....and they put an I.V. in me....and they took
about a pint of my blood to study. For those of you who know
me, you know I dont like needles at all.....so ontop of a
severe case of the chills (they would NOT give me more
blankets.....damn them all....)a headache, nausea, my back
aching, and my leg inflamed.....I HAD to have NEEDLES stuck
inside of me. Great.
The I.V. Knocked me out (sort of.... I drifted)and I've
been in and out of sleep forever.......... and I woke up
once or twice to hear comments on how PALE I was. Normally,
I'm just "I dont go outside" pale but they said I almost
blended in with the white sheets.

I woke up every hour last night. Abby got sick too, but with
something different. She started throwing up every 30
minutes after 2 am.

So, that's why I'm not in school, Derek. I didnt want you to
be worried. I'm going to the doctors again in about an hour.
I dont know how long I'll be there... I just hope it doesnt
involve more needles.

Could somebody give me a call? I feel rather lonely.
