I’ve been sick for a week now, I've got tonsillitis. I have a fever that comes and goes, I need to drink lots of water. A few days ago I freaked out when I lost the feeling in part of my hands. I rang a friend (Ms.L) and she came around and took me to the Alfred Hospital’s emergency room. I waited for about an hour, while waiting it got worse, I had tingling in my feet and hands and felt like I was gunna faint. Eventually they took me out the back, checked my blood pressure, temperature and throat, 1st time was nurse, then 15min later a doctor, both looked at my throat and said “woah!”. Must’ve been bad. They put me in a gown and took me to the overnight ward. They gave me 2 panadols and a morphine tablet. Morphine’s weird, I still felt pain in my throat I just didn’t care. Then a nurse took 3 vials of blood to be tested, and connected a drip to my arm, a bag of saline and a bag of some medicine. They filled me with about 3-4 bags of saline and 2 bags of medicine. After a hour or so I started to sweat, and it didn’t stop, it was gross. I went for a piss and when I got back the bed was cold from the sweat. Luckily I had another blanket so I put that underneath me. Eventually a doc came in checked me out, said I was okay to go. I had a shower there before leaving to get rid of the sweatiness. My boxers where a bit nasty from absorbing sweat all night so I used the unused sick bag I had from earlier and put them into that.
The night sucked but the nurses were cool so that made it more pleasant.
I still feel sick, I've got a sore throat still, but I can eat. I think I still have a bit of a fever 'cos I’m get sweaty sometimes and its not that hot. Its gunna be a while before I’m 100% again, so I’m gunna take it easy.

Last night I had a weird dream, I was at a huge party in a black tiled shower trying to get sand out of my jocks, and lots of women kept coming into the bathroom wanting to join me in the shower, of course it let them. I eventually threw my wets jocks at the woman in another shower on the opposite side of the room. It was great, no sex just lots of wet semi-naked high level flirting and mucking around.
It sucked when I woke up.
