Four Days In a Hospital

awful awkward
birthday bash
celebrated creepily
dubiously, diabolically
enormously enlightening
fastidiously  frustrating
gory grotesque
hospital hallways
illustriously illuminating
joyless journey
keeping
little
me
notoriously
ordinary
quixotic
realizing
Sophie
Terrified
Unclear
Very concerned
Wanting me to return home
'Xpecting a hero's welcome
yet 
zealously delighted that I will feel better.

I have shingles and my pain is still a 9, and I could grab up the doctor that insisted on releasing me and give him a super noogie.

Geez! I had shingles and had to shoot a gun for a Navy test. It hurt...yup mine was in shoulder/chest area. Marine says push it more into your shoulder. I fell into tears. Yup he knew something was wrong and passed me anyway. I was also ogled to train some medical students. Get better quick! <3 Kim

Add these together and you know why I am on morphine pills and have missed 4 days of school and plan to miss 2 more. Shingles, distended stomach, urinary tract infection, and one more thing too disgusting to mention. They sent me home yesterday even after I told them my pain level is still a 9. They did the right thing. 1. It was my birthday. 2. I have been 100 percent better since I got home. I am sitting on those shingles, Kim.
