Ok, so the last few days have really sucked. I spent them in the hospital, and am now confined to house arrest for God knows how long. Ok so thursday i did some abs and i did a bunch of em and that afternoon i noticed i was getting sore, i didn't think anything of it cause i had worked some muscles i don't normaly use.
Then on friday i was even more sore to where i couldn't move without it feeling like someone was punching me in the abs, i just figured that i had really overworked them and went on.
Saturday it got so bad i couldn't even stand up straight, and felt like i'd goten the shit kicked out of me, plus my throat started to hurt really bad too. Sat. afternoon i really figured something was wrong.
Sunday morning i woke up and it hadn't gotten any better but had gotten worse if anything, i couldn't sit up without help and the pain was absolutley ridiculous, so we went to the doctor, and he told me that i had strep throat and then feeling my ab muscles and seeing the pain i was in he had me go to the E.R. to check for appendicitis.
So on to the hospital, we got there and got back fairly quickly and did a sonogram and they took some blood and did some lab work, they couldn't read the sonogram because me muscle wall was to think but said that if i had appendicitus it probably still would've shown up because of the inflamation. When they got my bloodwork back they figured out what was wrong. My CPK count had skyrocketed.
When you work out your muscles use lactic aid and then proceed to actually tear down the muscles itself, when the muscle is torn down it releases a byproduct into your blood, its called CPK. In the average person the CPK count is usually around 100-200 mine was at 17,000.
So they hopitalised me and gave me an IV and pumped me full of liquids to flush out my system. i spent sunday night there and all of monday, my count kept going up, from 17,000 to 20,000 to 25,000 then they put me on some really strong medicine that made me so dizzy i literally couldn't stand up, i tried i fell back onto the bed. it made me kinda nauseated too. Of course with my luck everybody comes to see me when im all hyped up on meds so i got to see everyone, just not that clearly because everything behind them was moving. It was really cool though everybody comin to see me. Then i found out as they were leaving that my count had gone up to 30,000. So i wasn't going home that night and probably not the next day.
But the next morning it dropped to 28,000 so they let me go home since the count had peeked and my kidneys weren't gonna fail. and now I'm here at home, trying to stay inactve. I'm missing TAKS which blows. I made a 26 on the ACT so i guess thats good i don't really know how to compare it. I guess i got everything in here i don't know I'm not going back to rread it though so whatever. |
