i'm baaaaaaaaaaaaack....
i'm back from tibet...well, i've been back since the 21st, but i've been feeling way to shitty to do anything worthwhile. SARS? strep? mono? who knows. i caught something near the end of my trip, and now i feel ridiculously shitty.
best part is: i get to leave for school tomorrow. woo fucking hoo.
so here's how the symptoms of my illness began:
for a few days, i had felt a bit exhausted...i kept on asking people "do i look red?" because i felt hot and finally after a couple of days of that business, i crashed one evening in Lhasa, only to feel that i was freezing to death. no one was in the hotel room, so i just moaned and groaned, unable to sleep.
finally, my brother arrived to the hotel room...he beckoned my mother to come, and before i knew it, there was a slew of doctors (since most of the adults on the trips were physicians) with tylenol. they pocked and prodded me and i eventually fell back sleep after my mother helped me double up on my blankets. that night, however, i woke up in a cold sweat, shivvering like a mofo...needless to say, my mom was freaking out.
long story short...i went from 105 degree fevers to extreme stomach discomfort (including loose BMs and lots of crazy explosive gas...hehehe)...to sore throat...to whooping coughs...back to 102 degree fevers...runny noses and an inability to take in deep breaths.
SARs? someone look it up and tell me if i fit the symptoms...i'd rather not know myself.
as soon as i hit the states, i started antibiotics (droxycyclin to be exact) and the stomach pains slowly withered away. now, i'm just chock-full-o-rhinorrhea, high fevers, and coughs.
yay for illness!
i haven't brushed my teeth in days because i've been to bedridden...lucky for me, my breath feels fine cus the antibiotics are taking care of it. why brush teeth when you can just take a pill every morning?
ABOUT TIBET:
too bad there's too much to say about my trip. pictures will be up as soon as i get them up onto my shutterfly account...but aside from my illness near the end of the trip, the entire trip was amazing and i made a lot of new friends!! (...i think)
long story short, tibet really made me realize how important and significant i am in the world...ya know what i mean? like at first i thought i was an insignificant being in god's greater plan, but the chance to see the greater world really put things into perspective-- and helped me realize that i am so freaking important in the world, and that the world revolves around me. i will explain more of my profound findings later.
