the hospital stay...

i realized that in my most recent spate of non-posting that i never mentioned being in the hospital recently! crazy, huh? well, with the exhaustion that comes from getting about 4-5 hours of sleep for an entire semester, my immune system must have been down and i got a sinus infection. well, the dr. gave me zithromax - which lindsay has taken frequently - and it did _not_ like me. it caused my liver to enflame and made me jaundiced. when i woke up looking yellow in the torso and eyes on sunday dec. 5th, my mother-in-law and the on-call dr. told us to get me straight on over to the er. after a few hours, i was seen and got some pain meds (stomach felt like an ulcer which i attributed to finals week school stress and was taking mylanta and tagamet on saturday). they kept me in the hospital until tuesday evening and pumped me full of fluids and antibiotics to fix me up. the dr. made me stay off work the rest of the week and i was glad because i was just really weak from everything. anywho, i'm much better now and i'm enjoying the month off from school as they have a january term on campus!

ps. this was post #100!!! It took over two years (man, i'm bad!), but it's been a fun journey...
