the weekend

Was the worst weekend I think I have ever had…EVER!

We got home (to my house) on Friday night around 9:30. We just sat around for a little while and then went to bed. 

Saturday, we had a meeting with the priest from my church about the wedding and pre-cana. We are going to do the pre-cana over the summer. There is one place that does the thing on a Saturday in 7 hours and thats it. So, we are going to do that because we will both be home. Its $65 for us to do it.   After the pre-cana we went to his mom’s and hung out and watched the sabres lose.  We had dinner and then met Josh’s mom at Club Paradise for a little while. It was fun.  I had a couple drinks and then we decided to go back to his mom’s. His mom and Rick have a hot tub, and I had never been in one so Josh and I decided to go in.  We were in for like 15 minutes and I had to get out because it was getting too hot. I got out and hopped in the shower quick because I didn’t like the smell of the chemicals. I felt a little dizzy after I got out, but I didn’t think anything of it. I was in the shower and Josh got out and got dried off and changed.

I told Josh that I was feeling dizzy, so he opened the curtain to look at me. He said that he has never seen anything like the way I looked. He said I was looking at the wall but it didn’t look like I was looking at anything. The next thing he (and I) knew I was on the ground. I had passed out. Josh said that I was only out for a couple seconds before I came to. He got me up and out and dried off.

I didn’t want him to tell his mom, but he just wanted to make sure that I was going to be ok.  So, after he told them, they made me drink a lot of water and have some crackers.  My eyes were all weird after the whole thing.  I felt like I could see an electric line in my eyes. They were kind of fuzzy too. I also had a headache. I fell asleep for a little while, but Josh’s mom woke me up all scared because she wanted to make sure I was ok. 

After I woke up, Josh went to bed and I stayed up for a little while. After about an hour, I told Josh’s mom that I didn’t want to go to sleep because I felt weird.

Her and Rick got me covered in blankets because I was shivering so bad it hurt. Even the blankets didn’t help. They took my temperature and it was around 96.5. They then checked my heart rate and it was at 120 resting. I wasn’t even moving and it was 120!!  My eyes were still messed up from before and my headache was even worse. So, Josh’s mom called my doctor and and he called right back. He said that I needed to rest, drink a lot of water, and stay covered. As she is talking to him, my fingers started going numb, then my hand, all the way up to my forearm. Then it went away. It was so weird because they were just laying next to me. Not in any way that would make them fall asleep. The doctor also said that if my heart rate didn’t go down and I wanted to go to the hospital that we should go. That was around 120 in the am.

By 2ish, I was still the same, My heart rate was still really high. I felt like when I was talking that it sounded like I sucked in helium, but to Josh and his mom, I sounded fine. Also, Josh’s mom was talking to me and it sounded like she was screaming even though she was talking normal.

By this point, I was like get me to the hospital.

My hands were numb, so Josh had to get another jacket on me and tie my shoes because I couldn’t. In the car, Josh’ s mom had the radio going. I wanted it on because I didn’t want to think about what was going on. I knew the song and I was trying to sing it but every time I opened my mouth I couldn’t get the right words out. I knew what I wanted to say, but I couldn’t get it out. I felt like I didn’t know where we were even though I have driven the 219 800 million times.

We got there and they took all my vitals. I couldn’t stand on my own, I mean I could barely answer any questions. I was so upset. I started to cry, which was the worst thing because my heart rate was still really high. So they were trying to calm me down. After all that, I had to go fill things out that said that I wanted to be treated. I could barely sign my name.

They got me to an examination room and got me in a gown. They told me that they were going to give me an IV saline because I was dehydrated. Also, they were going to take my blood for tests. They hooked me up (which by the way, hurt like hell). Then I told them that I was feeling nauseous, so they  gave me something through the IV to help. Which didn’t. I was throwing up the rest of the night. The doctor came in and asked me all these questions and I couldn’t even answer him because I was so delirious, I had no idea what was going on, I couldn’t put a sentence together. They gave me an EKG to check my heart. They had to do it a bunch of times because I was shivering so bad that they couldn’t get a clear reading. I was then taken to get a CT because they wanted to make sure that I didn’t have a concussion. I had to be wheeled around in a wheelchair. I had to be so careful because I didn’t want to rip the IV out of my arm. I fell asleep in the machine…I kept on falling in and out all night.

The nurse then came in and told me that I needed to pee in a cup. I was thinking "right, I can stand on my own, so I can pee in a cup…". Once again, I had to be so careful because I didn’t want to rip the IV out of my arm. They got me back into my room and I fell asleep for a little while again. They woke me up to tell me that all my tests were normal. So, they thought it was just the heat and I had the stomach flu…Ok, whatever you say.

We got home around 5:30am. I went to be and got up at around 8:30am. Josh and I had made plans to have breakfast with his dad. I had water for breakfast. I had to be on a clear liquid diet for the first 24 hours so that it didn’t mess up my stomach. My head hurt so bad. I couldn’t bend over or move my head fast because it made the blood rush to my head.

I rested the rest of the day and watched the game with Josh. My mom made dinner and I wasn’t feeling up to eating it because of my stomach. So, she was mad at me because I wasn’t eating her food. (well, I am sorry if I don’t feel good..)  She was also mad at me because the night before, Josh’s mom called my dad instead of her. Well. its not like I was calling you. Christ. I just don’t understand how she can be mad at me. When I came home that day, she didn’t even ask me if I was ok. She just seemed mad that I got sick. She blames it all on the alcohol. I mean, I’m sure that had a little to do with it, but its’  not like I was wasted. I drove home for goodness sake. and I wouldn’t have driven if I didn’t think I could. Josh was worse than me. He had 2 long Island Iced Teas. He was fine. So, you can’t blame it on the alcohol. I just think she is a bitch all around.

Oh, and just when you think I had it bad…my car…

I had to get a wheel bearing replaced. And to replace this you need a special press. My dad could have done it but we would have needed to wait until he got out of work at 5. And we needed to be back at school by 6, so I had no choice but to pay $223 to replace a part about the size of a golf ball.  GAH! I hate my car. Annnnd, I need to replace the temperature sensor because my car keeps on stalling. This sensor is broken and is telling my car it’s 15 degrees colder outside then it actually is. So, it stalls. I went to the store yesterday to buy it and they needed to order it for me.

Also, this weekend, my mom was just such a bitch. I don’t understand her. I can never do anything right. I can never make her happy. Well, I am about to give up because I don’t care that much anymore. She told me that I needed to "wittle" down the wedding list some more. Well, Josh and I tried, but we really have it down to the bare minimum!! There is nothing that we can do. She is not paying for anything, so she has so room to say anything about who we do or don’t invite.

I am so sick of her crap. I am so sick of having a headache about the wedding and the bridal shower. I am not supposed to be a part of the bridal shower, but I keep getting dragged into it. Planning this wedding is becoming more of a hassle and a headache then a wonderful time. I am just so sick of it. I want to have a good time planning this wedding. I don’t want to kill anyone doing it.

Josh and I have everything handled. And when we need help, we will ask. We are not afraid to ask.

Josh and I were thinking about getting one credit card between the two of us to pay for some of the wedding expenses. Things like the favors, invitations, stuff for the escort cards, maybe even the food. Everything else will be paid out of pocket. But with the credit card, we will be able to make more than the minimum payments every month and not worry about the interest. This will be a lot easier then paying for all of the stuff  right out of pocket. Then after it is all paid off we will get rid of it. I am going to look into low interest credit cards with like a $3000 limit or something like that. Then we can’t spend more than that.  What do you guys think? Do you have any suggestions on which card we should look into?

Any help is always appreciated!

Hope everyone had a better weekend than me! haha Have a happy Thursday!!
