okay, i tried to blog this around 545 pm, but it never went through, so i'm gonna post this now.

first off, before i say anything else, i have to say this: melissa is an unbelievably amazing friend. she's just the best. i love her to bits and pieces now and i will never be able to express how incredibly grateful i am for what she did today and for who she is as a person. ;D now that all the mushy stuff is over, i'll explain.

so i woke up around 1130 this morning and just had the worst cramps and stomachaches in my life. IN MY LIFE. i am not exaggerating. i've gotten really bad cramps and stomaches before, but this was bad. it was just unbelievably intense. i really just wanted to kill myself. it pretty much reduced me to tears and hysterics. i didn't know what to do, so i called melissa and told her that i was in a lot of pain and that i needed to see a doctor. so she came over and helped me out. she asked neha where the hospital and comforted me while i was crying and going hysterical. it was really bad...i don't want to sound all "macho" or whatever, but i do get really REALLY bad cramps and stomachaches but i've never cried because of them. i was totally bawling when melissa came over. so anyway, melissa went to go get her car and drove it around in front of the apartments so i wouldn't have to walk far. then she drove me to scripps hospital. really, i think just going to a hospital has some psychological effect because i gradually started to feel better. it was really stupid though...we were at the hospital for like five hours. just a LOOOOT of waiting. they gave me some vicodin and some motrin and then they drew blood and tried to get a urine sample; key word - tried. instead of me just peeing into a cup, the nurse stuck this tube up me to get my urine. only problem was that i hadn't eaten or drunk (drank? drinken?) anything yet (i still haven't actually) so i was dehydrated and it took forever for just a LITTLE bit of urine to come out. oh, sorry if this is too graphic, but i actually haven't gotten to the worst part yet. then there was more waiting. then they moved me to another room for the doctor to give me a pelvic exam. okay...first off, i don't go to a gynecologist on a regular basis so i don't really get pelvic exams very often. i did get one when i was younger but that was a long time ago. i wasn't uncomfortable or anything, it was just PAINFUL. my god...they stick this metal thing up you that's sort of like a backwards clamp; instead of clamping something, it opens up the, well, you know. okay okay, it opens up your vagina. i'm sure most girls know what i'm talking about - a speculum. yeah, that was just not fun. anyway, five hours at the hospital and what does the doctor tell me? "it appears you have some extra cramping." uhhh....okay. are you sure?! ugh. oh well. he prescribed me some vicodin and told me to take some ibuprofin. and...that was it.

and you know what? melissa stayed me with the ENTIRE time. except for when i got the pelvic exam; the nurse made her wait in the waiting room. and you know what else? melissa has a bio midterm on monday. but she drove me to the hospital and stayed with me the entire five hours anyway. she is just an awesome, awesome girl. one day they will write songs about her. hopefully some pop star will sing it. ;D

okay, well, since i still haven't eaten, i'm going to go to melissa's place and order bj's now. ;D i know i told myself that i would stop spending so much money on food, but i think i deserve to allow myself to splurge tonight.

sigh...all right, i'm out, bye.
