Party Today - proud and worried

[chicajojobe]

Okay so today I went to a surprise party for my friend's 18th birthday.
However, she has six brothers and sisters and all but one are younger
than her so it had a really young theme. It was sponge bob cake and
decorations. Three of her brothers and sisters were under 10 and her
little brother had a friend over who was also that age so I did plenty
of helping out with little kids today, which is unusual for me because
I only have one sibling and he's 16.

One of her sisters also mentioned several times that she threw up the
day before. I did watch her like a hawk and make sure she didn't touch
anything I planned to eat but I didn't leave the party. I skipped lunch
but I did have cake.



Afterward her and I and our friends who were there went out to play
mini golf and then we went to the movies and then to dinner. I
volunteered to drive everyone since I was the only one who had their
car there and was allowed to have passengers. So I drove these peope
all around knowing that I'd have to drop them off at her house before I
went to my own even if it was an "emergency". At the end of the night I
even ate chicken fried rice at the chinese restaurant.



When I got home I figured I'd earned an emet indulgence. For the past
few days I've felt mildy sick, like with a cold and my ears have been
hurting and felt full. So I made my dad look at them with the otoscope
and he said there was some and I quote "crap" behind the ear drum. I
asked him if he thought it was mucus or pus and he just said he didn't
know because they look alike. Anyway the point is that I'm worried I
have an ear infection because whenever I had one as a kid I always v*ed
a lot. It may just be a cold but I don't have any nasal congestion so
that's why I'm not convinced it is. My throat has been a little sore
but not as much as I usually get with a cold. The worst part is that I
can't do anything until I actually have an ear infection and I'm afraid
that by then it will be too late to avoid v*ing.



So today has been a good one in which I really fought this phobia well
but it's also bad because I'm scared now. I'm scared about my ears. I'm
a little scared about the one sister because what if she had a sv
instead of just ya know childhood stomach problems. I'm also worried
because I'm so tired, I have a little headache, and my legs hurt.
Although I know that those last three are probably just the effects of
the day because I arrived for the party at 11 this morning and got home
at 9:30 tonight.

Anyway, I'm rambling now. What do you guys think? Am I losing my mind?

I think you did great today!


As far as the ear infection is concerned, just because you v*d as a kid doesn't mean you will now. It still may not even be an ear infection. If you are that concerned about it, go to the doctor. If they suspect it might be an infection, they may put you on antibiotics anyway and then it would clear it up before it even starts.


I'm sure you will be fine. And again, great job today! Especially with the little girl that was sick. I'm sure most of us (myself included) would not have been so brave to stay all day and eat!

Hmm...well I have a doctor's appointment on the 13th. It's with my
endocrinologist so I guess this isn't going to be her area of expertise
but I could always just ask her to look at them. If they look bad she
may put me on antibiotics.
