H1N1

The biggest thing in the news rite now is H1N1 or also known as swine flu. I never thought Iwould get it, then I got sick. At first I just felt like I had a normal head cold or sinus infection while in Brazil. As we started our adventure home I started feeling worse. My eye was watering and I looked like I was crying non-stop. I started getting a nasty cough and I was just tired. When I first got home I figured it was just from the travel and the week I had just had. I took some medicine and fell asleep hoping I would feel better in the morning. When I woke up the next morning I felt like crap. I had NO energy at all. I slept the whole day. Then I finally called my mom and asked her to take me to the doctors, something was wrong with me and I just didn't feel rite.
When I finally got into see the doctors we told them that I had just got back from being out of the country. They told me that they probably know what it is that is making me feel so sick. After doing the whole doctor examination they sat down and told me that I had H1N1. I didn't know what to think. The first thing that popped in my head was that I was dying. Its what I felt like and thats all I heard about it. I was upset and just wanted to go home and go back to bed. The doctor told me that I wasn't contagious anymore and that I could go back to school, but that I most likely wouldn't have the energy to. He told me it was best to stay home and rest. Then when my mom asked what kind of medications there was for it, he said none. All that would help would be IB profen. I just shook my head and thought "Great". I only had level 1 to. I couldn't even imagine what it would be like to have the full deal. Who knows maybe I did increase in levels, I sure did feel like it.
As the week went on I fell farther and farther behind in school. I was getting stressed and didn't know what to do. This is was the last thing that was supposed to happen. English was getting hard to do and it was my easiest. I went from doing everything from only being able to do a few assignments. Everytime I even attempted doing homework I fell asleep. I just didn't know what do to. I e-mailed my teachers and none responded to my e-mails, All i could think about was dropping out. Thanks to my coach I didn't though. He told me to keep going and get what I could done and start working on the stuff that is due now. So I did. I didn't get all caught up but as caught up as I was probably going to get.
Its Tuesday now and I finally made my way back to school. It took every ounce of energy but I did it. Hopefully I can keep it up and get back into a usual schedule again and finish up this semester as good as I can.
