the bionic woman

hello from the eleventh floor of fairview riverside. the tech guys here were nice enough to give me wireless access.

 

if you have a delicate constitution i would recommend reading no further.

 

i woke up this morning around eleven, sicker than sick. i threw up blood somewhere between twenty and thirty times between then and two o'clock, when i made the call to head to the emergency room.

 

max came and picked me up, canceling all his meetings for the day, and drove me to the hospital. we were in the emergency room for four hours. they gave me an anti-nausea drug, a chest x-ray, and a shitton of intravenous fluids. we watched the blip and shiver of the heart monitor and the drip of the iv. it felt like ages.

 

then the doctor decided to keep me overnight for observation. apparently i'm still bleeding somewhere inside me since my hemoglobin levels continue to descend.

 

and so here i am on the eleventh floor, alone, sipping on sprite, watching bad television. i feel okay. i am still scared. but all the doctors and nurses have been really nice to me. the food is really bad.

 

so i would rather be at home, on the couch, tucked into the crook of max's arm, eating saltines, watching bad television.
