Pain!

Monday morning my dad woke me to drive my car to the shop and I had bad cramps. Maybe I'm hungry, I thought to myself so I had a bowl of cereal and some ibiproffen before we let. My cramps progressed to get worse until we returned home so I immediately lied down in my bed. I slept for a good 2 hours and upon awaking was looking forward to feeling better, but the lovely post-pain sensation never hit me as I was still in pain. The pain increased for the next couple hours and by 12:30 my mom and I were waiting in the emergency room at the Alberta Children's Hospital. A nurse lady gave me a hot blanket and I napped for an hour until they were ready to see me. My pain had subsided during my little nap but we figured we would still talk to a doctor which was a good idea because I once again experienced extreme pain about a half hour after waking. Once the doctor finally came to see me, my pain had lessened but was still present. He and his colleagues decided that I most likely had a kidney stone. I proceeded to get my blood taken, provided a urine sample and got and ultra-sound. After a discussion with the other doctors at the hospital, it was decided that I would be transferred to Rockyview Hospital as kidney stones in 17 years olds is not what the Alberta children Hospital is best equipped for. At the rocky view I waited in extreme pain in trace until they wheel chaired me to my CT scan. After the scan I vomited for the second time that day and was moved to a bed in emergency. My pain decreased slightly and I was hooked up to an IV. Once my doctor finally came, he told us it would be recommended that I stay the night. I was moved to a semi-private room with a very old lady who had some sort of bladder operation and a great view. During the night I had one extreme fit up pain which was eventually lessened by the tordol/morphine I received through my IV. The Doctors told me that the pain associated with passing a kidney stone is often more painful then child birth. I stayed in the hospital all day Tuesday, mainly sleeping and being in pain and came home Tuesday night. To day is Wednesday and I still can barley walk, but I haven't had and extreme fit of pain since my night in the hospital.

All in all I recommend to stay extremely hydrated in order to avoid kidney stones and after this experience I'm totally ready for childbirth.

Upset Stomach

So on the weekend I went to my friends birthday party and had fun but then the next morning I had to wake up early. Not bad, I can do it, I'd done it the previous day. So I get up, look for my clothes, can't find them, leave in her clothes and drive to Tim hortons. Whilst standing in line, I get a sick contracting feeling in my stomach. I proceed to the bathroom, drop my stuff on the floor and proceed to vomit in the toilet. I then wash my hands and return to the line to get my bagel and orange juice. Ordinarily , this wouldn't be so bad but today I have to finish my first aid course which runs from 8 am to 5 pm. I get to St. John's Ambulance and finish my bagel. Little did I know this would be only wasted time as I would throw it up and hour later. That day of first aid training was probably one of the most painful days of my life. Not only did I vomit upwards of 5 times in a public bathroom, I was cold, and weak and shaky and one lady asked if I was going through chemo because I have a shaved head. Once the day was finally finished I had to drive home which to say the least, was exhausting. Never in my life have I been so sick. The only comparable day to this would have been when I got my wisdom teeth out and although I did have massive holes in my teeth and exposed bone in my mouth and overdosed on tylonel 3 and found out I was allergic to codeine, I didn't throw up my small intestine in a public bathroom.

Green Tea gelato

Yesterday was my last day of high school. Heartbreaking.

Yesterday evening i got some delicious green tea gelato at this new italian place that is were a dairy queen used to be. I used to go to the bathroom at Diary Queen whilst running, but now i will go there for delicious green tea gelato. They also have a viagra sorbetto that i may try sometime.

So hot!

GAAHHH!! I am so hot and tired and sweaty and sticky! After running around all lunch hour to collect change for the Alberta children's cancer foundation which we are fundraising for on June 7 in which my friend Renee and I are both shaving our heads, I practiced the Million ways Dance routine for a French project then talked to my friend a bout grad and rode my bike home. Now I am very tired and hot and sweaty and sticky.

G-Rad

So last wednsday-Sunday was g-rad and it was RAD! Graduating is definitley one of the funniest things I have ever done. To anyone who is thinking of dropping out of highschool, don't do it because once you graduate it will be all worth it. To bad we have 2 weeks left and exams. Holy Cow! Only 2 weeks! Plus I only have 2 exams/courses so exams will be a slice of pie! Grade 12 rocks. I highly recommend it.

Monday - may long

I am slightly tired, and my contacts are a little dry and I have post pizza taste in my mouth. Gross.

If you are looking for I good time, watch "High school musical" on family channel or buy it soon on DVD.

saw the Strokes last night and it was, to put it lightley, INCREDIBLE! you know one of those perfect moments, that you never thought would ever happen to you, and then it does, well that is what all of last night was. i was 3 feet from touching julien casablancas. if only his mic cord was longer! anyways, probably my favorite parts of the show were vision division, last nite, hard to explain, is this it and take it our leave it. oh yeah, also new yokr city cops. as you can tell Is This It? is one of my most favorite albums ever. Another reason why this show was amazing was because Jlien said that we pretty much made thier canadian tour, and were the best crwod they'd played to in all of canada. while i know people say that all the time, i definitley think he was scincere as all the members of the band looked slightly shocked when they came on for the encore as we were going crazy. anyways, this brings me to the real reason for my post - TOP CONCERTS/LIVE ACTS I have been to.

1. The Cribs
2. The Strokes
3. The Lovely Feathers
4. Hot Hot Heat with louis XIV and the Futureheads
5. Metric 04/04/06
