Near death but I bounce back.	Feb 7th, 2006 6:10:30 pm - Subscribe
I've been sick for about three weeks now. It started at first with just stuffy nose and a little sore throat then escalated to a bad sore throat and I developed a cough. Not so bad rather livable. There was no way I was missing school. I broke my ankle and went to school the next day, the common cold can't take me down! Then it did. Common cold? HA! This was no common cold this was a beast. No clue what it was. I woke up at two in the morning and my mom was watching a rerun of this evenings news cast and I said "Mom I don't feel very well I think I am gonnah pass out." Now I never get sick and when I do I certianly don't tell anyone. Weakness thing ya know? She felt my head and exclaimed "Amanda you are burning up get in the car!" Burning up, what am I a pile of twigs? Only twigs burn up. Okay we get to the hospital she makes everything seem more dramatic than it really is so we get to see a doctor almost right away. They ask me the questions Are you pregnant? How old are you? Etc. Then they take my temp. 106 not normal. In fact that's almost deadly. 108 is deadly, 106 is just hullicinations. Which is exactly what I had. Man oh man I love those! I have never done drugs but now I know why people do them. those visions made my life. No lie pink elephants and monkeys! Okay so maybe it's not that good, maybe it's even piss your pants scary when you are seeing these things in a hospital. But right now this very moment it's funny. My mom works for the government she deals with all kinds of random stuff like world disease, and right now the big thing on her plate is the Bird Flu. It's supposed to hit America, and my mom whom in paranoid was convinced that is what I had. The doctors couldn't figure it out but my mom a 42 year old average women with no medical history besides battling the flu would bet her life I had the bird flu. Now how could I have the bird flu? We don't own birds. And I like in MA it's the middle of winter and there are no birds around. I don't think I can get it. Did I mention I don't eat meat sio that means no chicken. Yeah I didn't have it. Well my mom went through the whole house cleaned everything. She probably would have burned down the house and rebuilt it if my Dad let her. She threw away all my old bedding and bought me all new stuff and she even offered to buy me new clothes. I didn't take her up on the offer. My fever broke 2 nights ago I am doing much better the "bird flu" is gone. That's what I am calling it because the doctors never figured out what was wrong. Comment on this one I want to hear what you have to say. Dressed to kill // Pjs Words of wisdom // The Bird Flu isn't contagious.

	I've really ignored the Bird Flu crisis. However, I've watched some PETA videos and I should have seen this sort of this coming to the United States. I would like to go vegetarian when I leave the house because of animal cruelty and other related issues but I don't have the money to eat a healthy, vegetarian diet. Either way, I like your writing a lot. I'm not much of a literary critic, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.
