My Hospital Run-in

So my immune system decided to take a break on Friday. I came down with a small fever that by Saturday morning had turned into a fever of about 103 F. After trying to bring it down all day, at about 5 o'clock my host mom took me to the hospital. They gave me an IV and took an X-ray of my chest to make sure I didn't have an infection in my lungs, and then I sat in the hospital for about an hour hooked up to the IV. IVs feel really funny. There's something about them that makes your arm feel super weird. You can feel the liquid draining into your arm and your arm starts to feel a little useless. The IV did bring my temperature back down to normal so I don't have a fever anymore. Now all I have is a cough, stuffed up head, and pretty cool first time having an IV experience. I figure I'll be back to normal in a couple of days but until then it's movie marathons and mid-day naps for me. :)
