First, let's just say that I've been working now for 3 months and I have JUST NOW realized that I can spend money on myself! How insane is that? So, I spent 2 hours shopping online for the best deal on a new pair of Uggs. Real Uggs. Uggs that cost me $180! But Uggs that I will appreciate for many many years. I also broke down and spent a bit of my earnings on others, because I'm just nice like that.
Alrighty, so I've been sick. I'm not dying or anything, but I am missing out on important things due to my contagiousness. I've been on antibiotics now for a solid month, and I'm pretty sure my stomach loathes my doctors, which just so happen to know me by name now. It's a little bit embarrassing to walk in and have two people say, "you're back again?" Ya, like I want to be bitch! I could understand the tude if I was coming in just because, but I've had legit illnesses.
Here's little rundown on how I was diagnosed with Helicobacter pylori, just in case you were interested....
She walked out of the room and I straightened up realizing the beezy had just got to me. This was the only time in my life that I prayed the blood test came back with something. I needed to prove to myself AND the doctor that I was not in fact crazy, but really sick.
10 minutes go by, she walks in with a sour look on her face.
And the rest is history. All in all, I'm not dying BUT the medications kicked my butt for 22 days. What's even more crazy is not even a week later and I ended up with Strep throat. So now I'm on antibiotics for another 8 days. Yipee!

Doctor: "Hi I'm Dr. Biatch, what seems to be the problem?"
Me: "I've been having crazy stomachaches for the past 2 months and I'm not sure why."
Doctor: "Have you been to any other countries recently?"
Me: "Nope"
Doctor: "Could you possibly be pregnant?"
Me: (laughing) "Ya right!"
Doctor: "Well you don't seem to have any symptoms related to anything I've ever heard of."
Me: (Beginning to feel like I might be crazy.)
Doctor: (Condescendingly) "Well, I COULD run some tests, but umm..... have you ever thought about being on anxiety medication?"
Me: (Really thinking I'm crazy now) "Um, not really. Do I seem like I should be? I mean, (here comes the part where I start saying what I'm thinking and actually DO seem crazy) I do get pretty wound up when I'm driving in the insane traffic every day. I'm exhausted all the time. I work full time, go to school time, then come home to run a house full time. Maybe that's why I feel sick all the time?"
Doctor: (Looking at me as if I'm a whiny child which included the pouted lip) "How about we prescribe you some anti-anxiety meds okay? And call it a day?"
Me: (Sobbing...I mean SOBBING UNCONTROLLABLY) "Can we please run some tests just in case?"
Doctor: "Ya, I guess"

Doctors: "Well, looks like you have H. Pylori."
Me: (I won! I won! Omg, what the fuck is H. Pylori! Omg, am I dying?!?!) "What's H. Pylori??"
Me: (I won! I won! Omg, what the fuck is H. Pylori! Omg, am I dying?!?!) "What's H. Pylori??"

I obviously have tons to catch everyone up on, but for now it's time to do some homework.
