I am sick, damn[views:6091][posts:33]_________________________________ [Apr 11,2004 11:17am - retzam ""] Tis true. I kind of had a sore throat Tuesday, but it went away. Then it came back Thursday in school, and right after school I went to work for 5 hours (outside). About an hour before my shift ended, I started feeling really cold in my lower-mid back area and I became kind of congested. Ever since then I have had a fever, a stupid nose that seems runny but I can't blow anything out of it, and a shitty sore throat. I think I have strep. I should probably go to the doctor and get antibiotics before it spreads and becomes rheumatic fever or nephritis. So I am gonna go tomorrow. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 11,2004 11:32am - The_ExhumeD ""] that cold is goign to last about six weeks, my cold comes and goes. Its fucked up Ill feel like I have a fever for half an hour then its gone, and the congestedness every morning, |
| _________________________________ [Apr 11,2004 11:40am - retzam ""] That sucks. But this cold won't last that long if I get antibiotics (well, that is if it's strep, which I am 95% sure it is). |
| ____________________________________ [Apr 11,2004 2:23pm - MyDeadDoll ""] i've been cold free since i have ridded myself of my evil tonsils!! |
| ________________________________ [Apr 11,2004 7:45pm - retzam ""] Yeah, so I am skipping out of school tomorrow to see a doctor, basically just to get a throat culture so he can tell me I have strep. Then I will pick up the perscription and start poppin mad pills nigga. |
| ____________________________________ [Apr 11,2004 10:08pm - dreadkill ""] i have a sinus infection that was weakened by medicine back in january, but it has been back for a couple weeks now with a vengeance. so fuckin hard to get rid of it. |
| _________________________________________ [Apr 11,2004 10:13pm - makelovesohard ""] i had a cold all winter. it's pretty much gone now. so we can move on to the neverending headache phase. ugh. |
| _________________________________ [Apr 12,2004 12:00pm - retzam ""] Ok, I got back from the doctor's about a half hour ago. Here's what happened. Doctor's appointment. I got there and got weighed and measured. It turns out that since January of this year I have grown 1 and a quarter inches. Strange. Anyway, doctor came in, breathing test, etc. Nurse comes back in, gives me the throat culture. She tells me to wait in the waiting room and it would be about 7 minutes. So I am waiting there with my mom and eventually she comes over and says that the test is negative. Great, now I don't even know what I have. So we are about to leave and the nurse runs out as we are driving through the parking lot. We pulled up next to her and she said the doctor wanted to see my mom. So my mom parks the car, goes in. She came out 10 minutes later with a few pieces of paper in her hand. Apparently the doctor felt that we should figure out whether I have a few more things or not. So we go over to the hospital and I am waiting for 15-20 minutes, then I go into this room and get 3 tubes of blood drawn from me. I guess I am gonna call the doctor's in an hour or two and he will tell me whether I have mono or not. Damn I hope I don't. What a shitty thing to have. Anyway, we went to CVS and got penicillin and some throat spray and then came home. |
| ___________________________________ [Apr 12,2004 1:06pm - Dread_104 ""] I just got back from the doctor's too. I gots bronchitis. Which is cool with me, cuz after the way i've felt all week, i was convinced it was that menengitis shit. which one's the bad one? spinal or viral? |
| __________________________________ [Apr 12,2004 1:44pm - succubus ""] sorry i didn't read this before... hope it's nothing serious! keep us posted! feel better |
| ________________________________ [Apr 12,2004 1:50pm - retzam ""] Thanks Carina. I will probably know within the hour whether it is serious or not. |
| _______________________________ [Apr 12,2004 2:19pm - davyp ""] retzam said:Thanks Carina. I will probably know within the hour whether it is serious or not. uhhh, hurry up, I need to know.... it like im watching a soap opera and i need to know if Retzam is going to have a dibilitating desease that will put him in a comma for 3 years and he come out of it fine only to find out that his brother has married his wife and they have 3 kids together and now retzam is plotting his brothers demise....... other that that i hope its nothing brotha, and get well soon:NEWHORNS: |
| ________________________________ [Apr 12,2004 3:45pm - retzam ""] Hahahaha, thanks man. I should of known already, but my mom hasn't called the place and I need to remind her to. |
| __________________________________ [Apr 12,2004 3:53pm - succubus ""] yeah IM me because i can't keep checking on here because people in this building don't like me on RTTP (anything non work related) |
| ________________________________ [Apr 12,2004 4:05pm - retzam ""] Alright everyone, I don't have mono. My mom called the doctor and he basically said that technically it can't be proven yet that I don't have it, but based on the white blood cell count in my blood, he really doesn't think I have it. So it's just some little viral infection. I should be back on my feet in a day or two. |
| _______________________________ [Apr 12,2004 4:08pm - davyp ""] ahhhhh i was so hopping coma, what a let down... Just Kidding bro, glad to see you make out alive, and wont have to worry about not scoring.... |
| ________________________________ [Apr 12,2004 4:10pm - retzam ""] Hahaha yeah it is a relief. I have heard bad bad things about mono. Although, I must admit that the ending to this was rather un-soap opera-like. Maybe I can make up for it by talking with a hispanic accent and cheating on my wife with my stepmom!!! |
| _______________________________ [Apr 12,2004 4:25pm - davyp ""] or you can pertend to kill yourself and them show up 3 weeks later with a scar across your face AND LONG SHAGGY HAIR down to the middle of your back and an eye patch on and you can call yourself captian retzam and everyone cant figure out who you are and thats the point where you take your revenge and kill all the mutha F'ers that ever crossed your path and laid a dis in your direction....... ahhh ha ha ha ha ha ha, so silly I am. |
| _______________________________ [Apr 12,2004 7:03pm - Devin ""] get well soon. |
| ________________________________ [Apr 12,2004 7:36pm - morkul ""] Must be the weather out there? How is it anyway? I heard it snowed or something on Easter? Is that true? It's like 80 already and I'm sweatin my ass off. |

| _______________________________ [Apr 13,2004 8:51am - davyp ""] Retzam I have never ever thought of a Soap plot ever in my life untill you got sick and made a post about it.... Reading your story was like reading a mini series and i needed to know what was wrong with you... and nothing was wrong with you, which we can all say is a good thing but the way you were building it up i was fixing to explode had you not let us all know.... Its like having whiskey dick and going all night but all your realy want to do is blow your load and go to bed.. but you cant, glad your ok and i will continue to astound you... and "GWS" (new acromyn) |
| __________________________________ [Apr 13,2004 9:00am - succubus ""] what is whiskey dick? |
| _______________________________ [Apr 13,2004 9:19am - davyp ""] when your so drunk that it works kind of, you can get it up but it wont finish and you could go all night... drunking sex thing... |
| __________________________________ [Apr 13,2004 9:45am - succubus ""] oh, i've never been witness to that phenomenon interesting... |
| _______________________________ [Apr 13,2004 9:47am - davyp ""] your lucky, I guess.. actually im not sure.. |
| __________________________________ [Apr 13,2004 9:59am - succubus ""] edit |
| _________________________________ [Apr 13,2004 10:53am - retzam ""] Hahahahaha, what did you edit out? More information: I woke up this morning and my ears were hurting pretty bad. I am thinking "Damn it, not an ear infection too!", but then I realize what a shitty day it is. So I went downstairs and checked the barometer: 29.79 inches. Is it me or is that pretty damn low?? My ears don't usually react to drops in pressure, but I guess today was an exception due to my ailment. I have been chewing gum ever since. |
| ___________________________________ [Apr 13,2004 10:55am - succubus ""] i just asked why he wasn't sure if i was lucky or not. i've never had sex with drunk guys, so i don't think it's a bad thing lol |
| _________________________________ [Apr 13,2004 10:56am - retzam ""] hahaha |
| ________________________________ [Apr 13,2004 11:32am - davyp ""] I just didn't know what your preferences and di not want to offend you or anything.... thats why i saidyou were lucky, i guess, im not sure... to cover all of my ground... You dont want it anyway, what sounds more appealing than a drunken sloppy man...... yuck... ha ha |
| ________________________________ [Apr 13,2004 4:45pm - retzam ""] Man, this sucks. My right ear popped a while ago, but my left ear still hasn't. Getting aggravated... |
| ________________________________ [Apr 15,2004 3:36pm - retzam ""] Yeah, so it isn't pressure. I kind of realized that by the fact that it STILL hasn't popped, and I realized that average pressure is 29.92, so why would my ears react at only .13 in. below that? My ears aren't sensitive, so, what the hell. It turns out that it probably has something to do with my sinuses being all clogged and shit. They said that if I applied heat to the back of my neck it might help. |
| ________________________________ [Apr 22,2004 6:21pm - retzam ""] Yeah, so here is the final update. I went to the doctor on Tuesday, and he told me it was an ear infection (which I had kind of guessed by then), and he gave me a stronger antibiotic. Today at work, I sneezed and my ear popped! It was like magic. |
