Trip to the ER

I don't want to keep talking about this incident since I feel like I've been bragging about it to fb and my family. xD But I just really want to let out my issues and let people know that I'm okay... since I apparently made a lot of people worried. 

And on here, I want to be able to remember this experience... since it was pretty adventurous.

So yeah. I went to the emergency room because I had a major stomach problem. 

But let me start over. I actually didn't know it was a serious problem until the evening. I was actually going through the day thinking it was just an upset stomach, but it eventually started ruining my concentration. I couldn't even stay still anymore and talking became difficult.

At one point, I was reduced to whimpering and whining like a beat up dog so that my grandma and twin took notice that something was wrong. I honestly felt ignored because no one was really helping me out at first but that's all water under the bridge once I called my mom.

Although, I'm very bad at explaining pain since I do have a high tolerance for it but all I could tell anyone was, "My stomach is on fire. It feels like it's shriveling up and I just want to puke everything up."

My mom had to come over to my grandma's house. She first forced me to make myself throw up so I had to use a toothbrush... It was not fun, I'll say that much. 
But even after puking, it never helped much so my mom finally took me to the ER. 

On the way, my mom was pretty upset that no one really did anything. I tried to reason with her, but... I couldn't really disagree with her anyway. 

So once we got into the ER, the doctors eventually took me in. (The nurses thought I was 12 or 13 LOL.) I did multiple tests which I don't feel comfortable with sharing just because. And I ended  up getting my results back saying it was just a viral infection. I was so relieved and so was my mom. (She literally was exhausted but couldn't fall asleep until the result came back.) 

And I was at the ER for 4 hours. It was 3:30 am by the time I got out lol. 
My mom ended up kidnapping me to her place so it was actually the first night that I slept in a different house away from my twin, Tamotsu. 

And I didn't have my phone so I couldn't contact anyone... but it didn't matter either way since I passed out pretty fast. xD 

By the next day, I ended up staying home. I was in no condition to go to school. I was really upset at myself because I had a debate to do for my English 21 class, but I was forced to miss it. 
But I ended up being really happy being with my mom. She looked after me and I really appreciated it... 

Later that day, we went to go kidnap Tamotsu this time from my grandma's house and I took a shower there while I was at it. My dad ended up being there too. I was really disappointed that he never really called or tried to question me about what was going on. He only gave Tamo-chan money and said "Get better." I really can't depend on him at all. 

And today, I'm slowly feeling better. Still drowsy and sore a bit, but I'll live lol. 

My grandma came in while I was asleep, patted my head, and smiled at me when I woke up a bit. I was pretty freaked out at first, but was happy before passing out again lol. 

Tamo-chan also told me earlier today that mom was secretly afraid of the results saying I had an explosion in the appendix. Tamo-chan ended up explaining it to me (mainly that it causes death) and said that I showed all the symptoms to it, but the doctors ruled it out so we're just lucky it never happened. After hearing this though, I felt pretty grateful that it never happened.

Soooo I just really hope that this never happens again haha. But if it does, at least I know what it is.

And I'm actually surprised with how many people were concerned on fb. Tamo-chan kept posting about me being in the ER while I was there so I didn't know until the next day. I was both very happy yet really guilty. I don't usually try to be open with my problems so having many friends actually wishing me well was pretty awesome lol. But I, too, was very concerned about certain people since they took it harder than I thought. xD 

Well, that's it. The nutshell of this whole experience. I just want more sleep, but now I must do homework lol. Ugh.

Oh well.

Life just doesn't simply stop for anyone so we must keep moving ahead. I'll do that much at least.
