Well, actually this is a repost from MySpace. What inspired me to re-post this is that a friend posted a pic of me all slung up in the hospital, doped up to the gills, with my arm in this weird bondage sock. I had almost forgotten this even happened to me, until I started looking around for the pic on FB & realized it must have been on Myspace. So here goes...(originally posted May 6, 2007)
So Tuesday I'd been having some probs with a painful red spot near where I'd skinned my elbow fighting with that fat bitch during French Quarter Fest a few weeks back, so I went 2 Student Health & they told me it was prolly some kind of staph infection & gave me some oral antibiotix & a cream to put on it. Well Guess What? The next day (May 2, 1 month b4 my next bday) my whole left 4arm was all swole up. I went to University Hospital & watched it get bigger & bigger as I went from one waiting rm to the next. Did I mention the hospital is still under construction & the workman had to come drill something into the door of one of these waiting rooms? Horrendous. I got dropped off around 8:30 am & didn't see an MD until about 12:30pm. The doc told me they'd have to admit me & give me IV antibiotix. I ended up spending 2 scary nites in there with these really mean nurses. They put my arm in this funny looking bondage sock to help the swelling go down, check out my comments to see how funny it looks. It worked tho. The swelling is almost all gone now but it's still draining (kinda ick but not too gross). I spent the weekend @ the Coyote Clinic in Hahnville, tryin to recuperate a lil b4 coming back to face Life in the Big City.
I'm not really lookin 4ward to going back to work 2morrow. These antibiotix I'm taking make me feel kinda icky & I really don't feel like slinging pizzas, but being that the electricity was recently disconnected I guess it's best that I make some $ (the lights are back on now but I still gots lotsa other unpaid bills)
Pray for me.
This is the current me talking now. It's like I read this & I feel like I remember these things happening to someone else. Like I was watching a TV show about some broke New Orleans Queen's latest bout of MRSA & hateful hospital staff.
