Glad to hear you're alright now. :)
I only have two hospital stories worth sharing. I'll go with the shorter one first, but I love sharing the second one. Best thing ever.
When I was 12, I broke my collarbone. Nothing too exciting. I broke it at like 10PM and the doctor was angry with me for waiting until the following morning to go to the hospital. I seriously just thought it was a pulled muscle or something. It didn't hurt nearly as bad as a broken bone sounds like it would. Especially to a 12-year-old. It was bruised and a little sore, whatever. /shrug
Now let's go back a few years: when I was 7, I had strep throat. Sounds even less exciting, right? I mean, what kid hasn't had strep? I had it all the time when I was little. So I had this sore throat, we went to the doctor.. and it came back negative. "It's not strep, just a cold."
Well alright, you're the professional. So I took some Nyquil or something and waited for it to pass. Then one night I woke my mom up at about 3 because I became aware that I couldn't feel my legs. :D
Went to the hospital... and it was strep. And it moved because it got bored of being in my throat, I guess. Didn't like the fellow bacteria in there. So it moved to my hips, where it resided for the next 2 months. And I was paralyzed from the waist down for that entire time. In and out of the hospital every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for IVs because I couldn't hold anything down.
I was 7, and I was absolutely convinced I was going to die. I still remember the first time I got up and started walking around after that whole ordeal. One of my sisters (please note, she was 16 at the time) was watching me while my parents were busy, and she saw me and started screaming for my parents, "She's walking! IS SHE SUPPOSED TO DO THAT?!?" {XD}
Though that time could have gone far worse. Apparently strep can also turn into a flesh-eating disease. I'm almost glad now that I was only paralyzed.
