tough week

wow, i can't even describe how ridiculous my last week was. i'll just start from the beginning. last thursday (not this past thursday but the one before) we had the most tiring vball practice ever. we did a lot of running and a lot of conditioning. definitely the most i have ever, EVER worked out before. we all know that i am not in that great of shape so working out so much so fast probably wasn't good for me. well, after I got home (i had to study for my history test on friday) i got a bad case of the hiccups. this was the second time I had the hiccups. i actually had them for like three hours and it was horrible. so i woke up the next morning so freaking sore. sore in a place i have never been sore before, my chest. early on in the day, i was okay. i went to dg lunch, ate. went to take my test, dominated it. chilled all day on the couch with the roomies. later on in the day, the soreness was coming on strong, pretty strong. i almost couldn't breathe because i was so sore. i took some acetaminophen and called it a night.

woke up the next morning feeling better. we watched the game, which we dominated, went to lunch with cotton, caroline and christina. afterwards, we came back to the house to watch more football. cotton and i wanted to make margaritas that didn't turn out too well and watch gone with the wind. a bunch of girls came over and we watched it. it was cool but tiring because we didn't start watching it till 11 or 11:30.

sunday: i didn't do anything all day! woke up and watched lpbw (little people big world) marathon on tv and it was awesome. i didn't get asked to go to younglife formal so i chilled at the house by myself and watched a lot of tv. true blood, jon and kate, you know, the usual. went to bed.

monday: woke up, went to class. felt fine. i was struggling in leb. it was awfully boring. so i left and had lunch with some friends and watched cliff for a while. i was getting a ride home from natalie so i waited for her. went to the mall with her, went to sonic. came home and when i wanted to take a nap. as i was laying down, i felt this pain in my chest. when i laid down, it hurt to breathe kind of. i was like, hm...this sucks. so i called the nurses hotline and she suggested that i go to the emergency room. i called my mom and she said that if i felt like i needed to go then i should. it was right before meeting so i just decided to go to meeting. i was really hungry and i felt really weird. i ate a payday and started to gag. i tried to throw up but couldn't. afterwards, i came back home and tried to see what the heck was the problem. i was troubleshooting with caroline but that didn't fare too well. i ate a sandwich because i thought maybe i needed to eat something. i ended up going to sleep.

tuesday: woke up, felt the same. decided that i would go to the emergency room and see what the deal was. i was afraid that something was wrong with my heart. went to the er where i was the youngest person in there by about 40 years. they check a bunch of stuff. long story short, there was nothing wrong with my heart and he gave me a packet of info with no certain diagnosis. the doc told me to take motrin and see what happens. i came home, got lunch and did nothing for the rest of the day. i decided to go to practice because maybe i needed some vball to improve my spirits. beforehand, i went and bought pepcid ac because i thought i had maybe had heartburn. took one and went to practice. i actually felt a little better after taking it. so i guess that was good.

wednesday: did not do anything all day, worked the vball game that night where i started to feel really really weird inside. i was sorta freaking out.

thursday: felt pretty weird at school, was freaking out. came home and rest for about two hours on the couch. i was going to go to the hp vball game with kata and drew and some others. went and felt kinda weird. went to eat afterwards and i knew that i shouldn't have even eaten. had some soup and a chicken taco. came home and had some pepto and it made me feel better.

friday: i woke up and felt a little better. i had went to the doctor's office where she put me on prilosec and mylanta. went to college station for vball.

so friday and saturday were the days i felt the best. i sorta actually feel like me again which is awesome. that is so uplifting. now, i hope that each day is better than the last. i mean, i still feel it. right now i actually feel like something is in my chest and its bothering me but i'm about to go take some mylanta. i just have to watch what i eat and start exercising more often. hopefully, by the end of my prilosec treatment, i should be better and now i will be more aware of what i eat and how i can't take my health for granted. this is an extremely long post so i'll cut it short. i'll write more later because i'll most likely be bored this week unless my family comes up for thanksgiving.
