Went to Bekki's on NYE for hangs. Good time was had. Especially as we got a chance to appreciate Cobra Starship's "Good Girls Go Bad" music video twice. Hehe.
Anyway, went home about half past midnight because I suddenly started experiencing severe pain in my stomach. Took two Zantacs and drove myself home. Still in pain ten minutes after I got home so I took two Buscopans. Went to bed to try and sleep it off.
Couldn't sleep. Would drift off during the night but I'd be woken up again by the pain in my stomach. Took two another Buscopans at about 4am but that didn't do anything to alleviate any of the pain.
Parents ended up driving me to the local hospital emergency room, where I thankfully got checked in before a small rush of people came in with problems. After me, there was a guy whose friends brought him in because he'd collapsed and couldn't talk or stand. Then there was a drunk girl who stepped on a nail which went through her shoe and into her foot.
Got a room and was promptly stuck with a needle that was hooked up to an IV. Blood pressure was taken many times, some blood extracted for testing and even x-rays of my chest and abdomen to make sure I didn't have pneumonia or anything abnormal.
Four hours later, all tests were reported clear. Was told that I had gastroenteritis and should see my GP about tests to see if I had some sort of bug in my stomach. Stomach lining inflamed so was given medication to take once daily until the medication is finished.
They gave me some painkillers through the IV so that reduced the stomach pain but didn't get rid of it entirely. At least I was able to sleep when I got home. Stomach now still sore but not like it was before. Have eaten nothing today but a little homemade wonton soup.
Oh well. Happy Fucking New Year.
