good news: i didn't fail my exam

bad news: i didn't fail because i didn't take it - i got a sudden infection which caused a huge fever. i woke up early thursday morning with a temperature of 103 or more. i went to the bathroom to take some advil in order to break the fever, ended up passing out and falling. i hit my head on the way down. the noise from my fall woke my host sister and mom up, so they called my program director. she came and got me and we went to the hospital. they took blood, xrayed my head, hooked me up to an IV with a fever reducer and then a giant bottle of yellow stuff that was apparently for rehydration. then they gave me a painkiller. i got a prescription for augmentin and some medicine to protect my stomach. i spent most of thursday asleep in bed. my fever never went below 101. i woke up around 530 this morning and my temp. was 103.6. took more advil and fell back asleep. my temperature finally fell below 100 today (99.5), so hopefully that means the antibiotics are working. the doctor said if i am not better in three days, to come back. hopefully i will be fine by the end of the weekend.
