Ugh. Apparently that little illness I had last week has shifted into good ol' pneumonia. My Doc gave me antibiotics Friday, but I still downhill quick over the weekend (103.7 fever, severe dizziness, nausea, etc.) Worse yet, I have an organic chem II test today and an ecology test tomorrow at 8am. I was finally able to get out of bed without

Ugh...what a horrible sickness!

Is there a way to get into contact with your professors and with paperwork on how massively sick you are/were (because I'm guessing you're still sick).

Yeahh...6 userpics. Doesn't do me any good, I'm up to 100 (well I've the option of 100...).

I think this icon is appropriate :)

[lex_kempo]

Heh, thanks for the sympathy Dani, I'll be sure to follow the icon's orders ;P

Yeah, I ended up not going to my Organic Chem II mid-term, the test will just be dropped since I informed him ahead of time and will deliver him medical verification in due time. The ecology test I sort of had to take, since she has a "drop lowest grade with the final" policy, but I got a 75 on the first test. That was today, and yes, it was pretty miserable to be there.

Thanks for checking in on me, I appreciate your comments as always.

My poor sweety! I'm so sorry that the measly cold I thought you were having turned into this malignant illness. We are like two nuts in a nutsack ;) and I miss your charming disposition a great deal!

Should I come and plague your residence with some chicken noodle soup? I've got three cans still from my own unfortuness.

I'm so sorry darling!

[lex_kempo]

Ah, yes, a colorful analogy indeed. But thank you for the compliment, and for missing me I suppose. Or my disposition, at least.

As for soup, I've had all that I can stand, thanks. My father has been very helpful while my mother is at work, so I have not in fact gone hungry. In fact... We got pizza Monday. It was cool. He is a pretty fun guy sometimes.

Thanks again for your caring, and I appreciate the message you left on my cell, too. Hope all is well with you.

[lakesrith]

Yep! All is well, except for the large gap in my friends. I'm glad that you are being well taken care of. I hope to see you soon and much healthier!

Yeah, I get pneumonia yearly... it's not so bad. People flip out about it though, apparently you can die from it.

Just swallow a bunch of AntiBiotics (or get those 4 pink pills they give ya) and keep doing your regular daily activities. It'll pass.

[lex_kempo]

Yeah, apparently it can have wide-ranging effects on severity. I had it once before just about a year ago. It was considerably more congested then, but this time I have had far more side effects (the fever and severe dizziness, most notably). The doc gave me a 10-day run of Levaquin 750mg. The big suckers. It just beats the shit out of you is all.

[caesarsghost]

pppp... I did my missle shoot with it and no sleep for 2 days... if I can do that, you can go to school. ;-)

Went to work with it this year and it was really bad:
"You ok?"
"Eh, pneumonia."
"You go to a Doctor?"
"What for? It's not contagious... happens every year."
"But you're sick?"
"Hell yeah! No probs... beer will wash it away."
"Dude, go to a Doc."

I did not to go the Doctor, and it passed. How's them apples?

[kittywolf]

Hooray, solidarity! I'm quite sick, too, although it would seem that you are sicker than me. Same symptoms, though, including the 103-ish type fevers.
Anyway...oh, yeah, got your livejournal off your facebook. Hiya. :3
Hope you feel better, kid. Good luck with it all.

[lex_kempo]

Hello and welcome to my little corner of the internet! (Well... One of my many little corners. The internet is actually a polyhedron with infinite sides so there is enough "little corners" for everyone. Or somesuch. I make shit up sometimes.)

Moving on. Sorry to hear you got sick too, it just isn't pleasant, eh? Hope you are doing better by now.

Anyway, just curious, why did you poke me on facebook oh so many weeks ago? It took me forever to get back to you. I'm like that sometimes, sorry. Oh, loved your post about the whole must-be-imaginary UFC/D&D/Hooters thing. Seriously, I think you might be some sort of fever-induced hallucination. I hate it when that happens.

Thanks for the well wishes, feel free to check in and post whenever you like. In fact, I encourage it.

Hahah. If reality is truly a mere consensus of opinions and perceptions then, yes, I am totally a hallucination. No one believes in me; maybe one day while I'm on the brink of death someone will start yelling about how the audience needs to clap if they believe in fairies Binas.
Aaah, yes, facebook. I poked you because:
1) you seemed intelligent,
2) interesting,
3) and you had D&D in your interests [my group is currently looking for players]*--but I think what sealed the deal was
4) the Hawaiian shirt bit. I love those things. Seriously. Mad props to you.

I then promptly forgot to follow up the poke with any form of message, I realize in retrospect. Whoops. Oh, well. You got back to me eventually, so that worked out.

Hey, it's Carl. Sucks to hear that you're so sick.

Various diseases seem to be going around. I've got something milder than yours that just keeps relapsing. I'll feel fine in the morning, then whatever the hell this is will rear up and bitch-slap me in the afternoon/evening.

[lex_kempo]

Yea, it sucked, ne? But what, and you don't even friend me back now? Tsk tsk, my friend. Tsk tsk.

[seawolf10]

I never claimed I wasn't absent-minded. ;)

Sorry about that. It's been rectified. So how's the internship gig going?
