Swine Flu

today i took my friend stephanie to the hospital because she was feeling really sick. i thought i had a cold, so i decided to get checked out too.

turns out i have swine flu.

i honestly would not have gotten checked out if i didn't already have to go there.

so i'm on tamiflu. it should help decrease symptoms, but side effects include death.

...

they gave me an instructional packet and a note to miss school for 5 days. actually they forbade me to go anywhere for 5 days. the packet reminds me to wear my seatbelt.

...

and tells me what to do if i have lost my spleen.

that's not a joke.

"if you have lost your spleen...go see a doctor."

there is no hope for me.
