Topic: How sick have you been?

This Saturday I started feeling ill. Sunday morning I stopped driving, I was in Alamo Nevada and it was 30 degrees outside during the day and who knows what at night.

I turned my semi's air to AC and covered all but my burning up head in blankets.

In the 20 hours I slept (with a couple exceptions, phone calls by boss, bathroom 'run') I never felt the cold.

Monday I found out I had Walking Pneumonia and the flu (and a strong one cause normally the flu does nothing much to me).

I think leaving my head exposed to as much cold as I could may have saved my life...



So how sick have you been at your worst?

Everything bad in the economy is now Obama's fault. Every job lost, all the debt, all the lost retirement funds. All Obama. Are you happy now? We all get to blame Obama!

Re: How sick have you been?

Earlier this year I was hospitalised. I had a fever over 39C that they couldn't get to break, even giving me the maximum dose of penicillin they could give me. It took 24 hours for the fever to start to go down, and they put 6 litres of fluids through me during that 24 hours.

Re: How sick have you been?

I had a virus, it was just a normal virus I was a bit light headed and had a fever, nothing much, but I thought ok I'll go get some anti-biotics from the doctor, took one when I got home, I startd feeling all itchy and warm, then about an hour after taking it I just collapsed and woke up in hospital, I had a total allergic reaction to the anti-biotics and had to get a freaking blood tranfusion ;_;. they said if my mum hadn't phoned ambulance when she did I could have died ;_;. scary stuff like.

Getting sick is for the weak.

Your = possessive. As in, "your grammar sucks."
You're = you are. As in, "you're an idiot for not knowing the difference."

I was so sick one time, they made me moderator of an online game. sad

Arby: A very strict mod, reminds me of a fat redneck who drives a truck around all day with a beer in one hand. I hated this guy at the start, however, I played a round in PW with him where he went as an anonymous player. Our fam got smashed up and everyone pretty much left. Arby stayed around and helped out the remaining family. At the end of the round he revealed himself.... My views on him have changed since. Your a good guy.....

I got a flu and was barfing every 15 mins on the dot for 8 hours.  And then I'd barf in between if I saw something barfy

so i thought I'd relax by watching a 1960s pippi longstocking movie

Re: How sick have you been?

I got a severe case of meningitis when I was 5 or 6, and nearly survived. Apart from that, I have never been really ill.

Re: How sick have you been?

I ended up with a staph infection and was in the hospital for 3 days on iv fluids and extremely strong antibiotics. MY WBC was sky high.

Right, so what are we waiting for?  Can we get this going?  Any other feedback?

Re: How sick have you been?

Sophomore year at college, I developed a 105 degree fever.  I refused to walk to the medical center for 2 days until I finally decided to go.  They offered to drive me home in a cop car but I stuck it out.  I don't remember how I got home (blacked out but came to my senses in my bed).  I laid in bed for 4.5 days with a temp that didn't go under 103.5 (it was 105 for a day or two).  I never found out what I had, but it was the worst illness I've ever experienced.  I didn't eat normal food for 4 days, just jello pudding and water when I would wake up.  I slept 18hrs a day so that was cool I guess.

Sidebar: I had to do a presentation for my economic statistics class on the third day of my illness.  The teacher tells the class that they have to stay for all the presentations and I raise my hand and say "I've got a temperature of 105 so maybe you'll make an exception for me?"  She knew I was serious because I was shaking and had 2 hoodies on (it was 80 degrees outside).  She lets me do my presentation first so I spend 90 seconds on my portion (4 members, 10-15min presentation total) and then I just walk out while the presentation is still going on.  She gave me a 98 big_smile those were the good ol' days!

Re: How sick have you been?

I've got gallstones, and, occasionally, after eating some pizza or a burger or something, I get a gall-bladder attack, and it usually feels like I'm dying.  The pain usually builds up over about 30 minutes, and so on the onset of the attack, while I am still able to drive, I go to the hospital and sit in the emergency room in case it so happens I need emergency surgery.  So far, I haven't.  The pain and inflammation goes away after getting pumped full of hospital-grade painkillers (fun stuff) wink 

Trying to find buyers for the gallstones to pay for the operation:  they are 1.4 and 1.6 centimeters in size, currently - that's like 6 carrots of pure Gallstone, people!

Current bid is 53 Million gc and 65 million gc respectively.  Bids close by January 1st 12:00 GMT, 2014, for, I figure, by then, the gallstones will be about 3+ centimeters each...

But I tell you what, I'll let them go for 200 mill gc, total today...

Message me in-game.

Caught a virus from South-East Asia...that will learn me for drinking the water...

40C hot day, and I was curled up in a ball shivering, couldnt even keep down water or painkillers...was in hospital for a week pumped full of saline, pain meds, and had to rest it off...noone ever did work out what I actually caught...

I give your invention the worst score imaginable. An A minus MINUS!
