MRSA can suck it.

yes, this is in my body. 

for those of you who don't know, i spent the better part of christmas break/january being really sickly. it was awesome. 

syke.

it started out as a stomach bug, and then a stomach bug that wouldn't go away, and then oh crap this isn't a stomach bug, and then what the heck is wrong with me. 

when we finally did find out the diagnosis, i was terrified: being in a medical professional program will teach you to fear MRSA quickly. so when my doctor told me i had it, i suddenly had images of myself laying in a negative pressure isolette, holding my mom's hand through some plastic thingy while she stood there in a hazmat suit. it was not a good feeling.

luckily, that is not what happened, and i have been feeling somewhat better. but let's look on the bright side of things, since i'm being more positive in 2009. i have lost weight, which is never a bad thing. i have become a relative connoisseur of mashed potatoes. i got to catch up on my couch/tv/dvr/rented movie time that i never get during school. and it didn't happen during school, which was a huge blessing. 

look at me, being all glass half full. who knew. 

anyways, keep me in your prayers. hopefully God will de-MRSA me soon.
