My Tanning Update

Well, with all of the pain that I have been in, I finally broke down and went to the Health Center to see if there was anything that could be done for the pain, since I developed blisters after having aloe lotion rubbed on my back and stomach. I found out today that I have 2nd degree burns and that is why I am hurting so bad. But the NP did prescribe me some ibuprofen and lortabs which so far have helped with the pain. I just have to ride out the pain and let the blisters dry out and then get some kind of cream and rub that into where the blisters were to help the spots heal faster. Plus, if I do go tanning again, I won't be going for no 20 minutes ever again, it will be more like 10 minutes because that hardly burned me that first time.

How I spent my day...

Today was one of the crapiest days in my life. I didn't wake up until almost 2 this afternoon due to not feeling well, and thinking I was going to be okay, decided to go to my chem lab. Big mistake. Just before making it to the Jordan Hall stop, I passed out and woke up on the floor of thebus with a bunch of people huddled around me. I got up and was told that an ambulance was on its way. Then I went to the Emergency Room, and laid in a bed for three hours while nurses came in and tried to start an IV 6 times, and on the 7th shot, finally did it. After that, I mostly slept. Then it came time to leave, and me being sunburned from trying to tan, pulling off all of the little sticky things hurt like hell. So, after finally getting them off. I left and waited for my taxi to take me back to my dorm. From there, I still felt like crap and am now getting ready to go to sleep at 8.
