Of course on my vacation I end up in the hospital.

No worries though. It's an allergic reaction to god knows fucking what. Last night I felt my eyes were a bit droopy but I didn't think anything of it. Woke up and my face was swollen like a motherfucker, I looked like Gene Simmons when he had plastic surgery. Anyway, during the night I could feel my hands were swollen and my arms ached any time I moved. I woke up every other hour itching my hands and finally decided to get up around 9. I looked in the mirror and my eyes and lips were puffy. It looked like I was wearing red eye shadow and my hands were extremely swollen. Took benadryl and passed out til 2. Woke up and nothing changed besides the itchiness. So to the ER we went.

Waited for a while. Finally got in and it was such BS. I didn't even get in a room. I was "treated" on a doctor's roll-y chair in a fucking supply room. The doctor barely looked at me, didn't even touch me. I'd be exaggerating if I said he was with us for more than two minutes. "Oh it's an allergic reaction." NO FUCKING SHIT. Ordered a steroids shot and a prescription for a week. I'm not looking forward to that because the last time I was on steroids I was about 2. Needless to say, all my Barbies met the wall with their face. Regardless it was so long ago, if I could be that bitchy at 2 I don't want to know how bad I can get at 18. I can only imagine it'll be PMS x666.

Anyway, so the nurse showed up and without saying a word she tried shoving a syringe down my throat so I was like bitch what is that. It turned out to be the steroids but I was so confused cause the "doctor" ordered a shot so she's like "lolz k brb." Comes back, says the shot has to go in my ass. Such is my luck. I turn around, lift up my skirt and ask "Can you just tell me when you're about do i-" and she shoves the motherfucker in without a word. I FLIPPED THE FUCK OUT. Not only did she not give any warning, but it was barely in my ass, more like my lower back, just about where my herniated disc is. I started crying and yelling, grabbed my shit and started storming out the place. My mom was trying to make sure I was okay and all the nurse did was shove papers in my mom's arms and try to have my discharged. My mom looked like she wanted to punt the bitch across the room. The nurse paused and I peaced the fuck out, making sure everyone I passed knew what a cunt that nurse was. She was wearing a fanny pack. End of story.
