Strep sucks

General
So no sooner then I had posted coming back to FA then I had come down with something. Started out as a cold, which turned into a fever and then back into a cold. Thought I was getting over it, and then Friday I was admitted into the hospital after having a deyhdration related seizure. Gave my parents and relatives a big scare at that. Wasn't diabetes or a heart problem, thankfully; it was just a matter of something called Strep covering up the fact that I was dehydrated and inspite of drinking more fluids it wasn't enough.
So I was put on a fluid IV, and felt a lot better after that. Something I don't want to repeat any time soon. Back home with a prescription of Antibiotics and drinking lots of water. Yesterday was hell, but the Doctor says as long as I lay low for the rest of the day today and keep on the prescriptions and fluids I should be more or less normalish come Sunday; though I have to keep on taking the antibiotics for another week afterwards to make sure the Strep doesn't come back.
This is the first time I have been plauged with a serious illness, and a very deceitful one at that. Not fun. Feeling good enough that I may put up some more photos soon enough.

OP
Yes. I lost consciousness and was shaking just before I was snapped out of it. Thankfully, I don't remember all that much. It wasn't a pleasant experience, to be sure.
