Hello everyone! Excuse my week-long absence. (Not that many of u probably noticed. I was in hospital and have just been discharged 2day!!! So, obviously, I didn't have access 2 v Internet on a computer. (My phone isn't a very hi-tech one. I don't think it has Internet access.) So, it started on Friday when I had 2 leave school early bcoz I had a stomachache, and threw up shortly after I got there. We thought it was a bug, so I spent most of v weekend in bed, but I was still vomiting this greeny-black stuff which didn't look normal. Mum asked our neighbour, an ex-paramedic about it & he recommended we see v doctor about it. But, lateish @ night when we finally got seen, the doctor told us 2 go 2 A&E to find out more. Which then led to a week-long stay in hospital in a rather nice children's ward, where a lot of the patients had cancer. (I didn't.) I think it was because there was an empty bed.
It turned out, after a keyhole operation 2 c if it was appendicitis, that it wasn't appendicitis. I had a cyst on my ovary which had become irritated and full of fluid. They removed it in v same op. However, I wasn't done. After eating 2 fruity biscuit-thingies 4 breakfast, I threw up. The cyst had also caused my bowels 2 shut down & I was rather constipated. Don't worry, I'm pretty much better now. The stay involved lots of bed rest, but near the end I was advised 2 get up & walk around to improve bowel movements.
Top 3 Pooiest Treatmnents I had: (in reverse order:)
3. Blood tests & Injections. I can't STAND them and I cried during some of them.
2. Lack of food. I swear v IV drip was v only thing keeping me alive. I couldn't eat anything bcoz I'd probably throw it up again. At some points, this made me feel about 20 different kinds of low and I felt as if I would never b able 2 eat again. My parents, (at least 1 of them stayed with me @ a time) had to eat their food somewhere outside v room because it would be upsetting & insensitive otherwise.
1> DEATH JUICE. This was a name I gave to a really disgusting-tasting laxative which I had 2 take quite a lot of. Its real name sounds like gastro-something-or-other and apparently it has small bits of metal that would show up well on an X-ray or CT scan if need b. Ribena helped wash v taste away. I was pleased and rather annoyed when they inserted v rest through a tube leading from my nose into my stomach.
Apart from that, I did a lot of sewing and reading and can eat little things now @ a time. And some of Mum's Facebook friends were really kind. Some of v stuff I received were a Moonpig card, pictures of v cutest dog in v world and a WWF magazine. But the funniest gift was to Mum. It was an INFLATABLE BOOB JOB. ROFL
So, I'll say Bye $ now. Better try 2 finish off some challenges. That 30 days of Art one sounds really cool, but people had 2 apply by May 27th, which obviously I couldn't do.
I'll c if I can sort something out.
Oh, and does anyone have any ideas 4 a piece of art I wanna do 2 celebrate v fact that Sakura Land has been viewed over 100 times? I'm not sure. (It'll b 150 @ this rate.)
C u later!
