Some Advice

Yesterday started out as a fairly normal day, with the small exception of a little stomach pain. I made a doctor's appointment a few days ago and was supposed to meet yesterday at 3:30. That did not happen. In the middle of my first class, around 12:50, the pain started getting worse. I felt like crying. It was awful. I still had two classes left for the day but could not make it. I had a law class after the one I was currently in and it was very important not to miss yesterday out of all days. I was receiving assignments and instructions for a take-home test. I also had to give a presentation on a case study. Not to mention, all of our communications classes are canceled next week so I would not be able to ask questions during that time. But I just couldn't make it. Before rushing to the campus clinic, I went to see the professor for my law class. She understood and gave me my assignments.

When I went to the doctor, I was in so much pain that they got me in two hours before my scheduled appointment. It turns out that I have a severe infection in my stomach which is caused by not drinking enough fluids and can lead to dehydration. I did not get much sleep last night. I'm on a pain killer and antibiotic, which, not to mention, I'm allergic to so I have to go get a different kind of medicine. I'm still in some pain but I feel a lot better! My advice to you.... DRINK AS WATER AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE!
