Horrible Hospital (Yay! A new post from the Deckers!)

Oh, this lovely lymph node in my neck got a NASTY infection, (an "abscess", apparently), that put me in the hospital for 5 of the most awful days of my entire life. It all began with a phone call telling us the blood tests came back negative, and to come to the ER ASAP. Well, not as important as we thought, because we waited 3 hours to get a room.
Soon after I got a room, I was given an awfully painful I V put into my hand. Then, the cat scan. Okay, abscess for sure. So, of COURSE we have to stay in the ER over night because they have no freaking rooms upstairs. So pleasant. Mom had to sleep on a chair leaning against my pillow. But in the morning they FINALLY had room for me, (and of course, a sick, coughing baby that they should have put in before me. A horrible cough, next day, trouble breathing!) It was so nice to be upstairs though. WAY cozier beds. But crappy T.V.
On day 2, my room was full of flowers of every kind. I was glad, because I could smell flowers instead of rubber and sickness. I had an several adorable stuffed animals. So generous! (Oh, and Rose, how funny that you and Palmer sent me the same arrangement!) But not all day was nice. At midnight, a nurse woke me up for MORE blood! I already gave some the day before! And MIDNIGHT of all times she could have picked? I don't think so. I even drew a picture of the situation! Look!

But anyways, the whole week went on like that. Just horrid. Not to mention, now I have a weeks worth of work to make up from school!
Yep. I am staying healthy and making sure that never happens again!
