Hacked Life?

[learnteach]

Monday and Tuesday I had odd dreams, and had felt dehydrated. Wednesday, while I was teaching my class, I felt dizzy and weak.
I handed the class off to my assistant, and made my way downstairs via the elevator. Picked up an Odwalla citrus, walked to the dropoff point for the class, felt hot and dizzy. Decided not to drive home, called mom, she said she'd come and get me. Threw up the drink (mostly back into the container) (citrus isn't bad vomitus, in general) and Mom came and got me. Fever in the car was 103, nausea abated, didn't have any other major symptoms (no cough, no phlegm) until I realized my leg was swollen. Took anti-fever meds, crashed; fever broke but then returned (all the way to 103) so went to El Camino Emergency room, where they checked me, did a sonogram on my leg (pocket of fluid, not just cellulitus) gave me some IV antibiotics, pulled fluid out of the pocket for culture, pulled blood for blood culture. I go back in tomorrow for lab results, and they'll tell me if they'll operate and put a drain in or not. Right now on antibiotics and fever reducing medicine.

Now, back to bed. Phone is out of power, and I'm not listening for it anyway.
