:-(

First, let me say I love my team. Now, let me explain why. I have strept! Boo! I usually get it once or twice a year, I know the symptoms, I know how my body acts right bfore the symptoms start showing, but I always ALWAYS ignore it until it is too late. No different when I'm in the AmeriCorps it seems. Only this time I really waited until last minute and now it is probably the worst I've ever had it. Started Tuesday, I ignored it until Saturday night when paige took me to the ER. They gave me steroids for the swelling, a shot of antibiotics in my rear, and some vicodin for the pain. That was all to last me until I could get my prescription drugs the next morning.

Being sick and not in the comfort of your home is the absolute worst. This is what hell will be like. Me, with strept, sharing a room with 11 girls in a building where walls end 6 feet from the ceiling so you can hear EVERYTHING that goes on.

Anyways, why I love my team:
The girls brought me some lemongrass soup the other day when I couldn't chew, Kari has been checking in on me and she tells everyone to shut up when they are being too loud and I am sleeping, the guys let me watch stupid movies with them, and everyone has learned if I dont make eye contact I dont want to talk to you. They're all so sweet. I have a good team.

I missed work today, I slept all day and everyone else was working. Which sucks to know, but I am 100% going to work tomorrow, I don't care what I feel like. I can already swallow without wincing so I know I am getting better... Besides, my hydrocodone will help me get through the day.



We leave friday morning to go back to campus in Vicksburg. We'll have our debrief, our breifing, baseline, more trainings, then off the Louisville. Im ready for some new scenerey. Ocean Springs is nice, I'm just bored with the work. I need a change before I go stir crazy.
