Explanation

Hi everyone, this is Nikki. I just wanted to say I'm sorry for disappearing again. I've been sick since last Monday with what they think was meningitis. I was at a friend's house for the day to celebrate my birthday the day after, and we went to our drama group that evening. In the afternoon, I suddenly got a really bad sort of throbbing headache, and a really stiff and achy neck, and over the day it just got worse and worse, and the pain spread down my spine, and I started feeling like I had a fever. During the rehearsal, my back and neck got so painful I couldn't even bend my neck forward. I told my parents when they picked me up, and they took me straight to the hospital. Soon after we got there I was given a temporary bed in the emergency area while I waited to be seen by a doctor. They said my temperature, pulse, and blood pressure were high, and then my mom suddenly noticed a weird red rash all over me. The nurses and doctor thought it was sepsis, and said I probably had bacterial meningitis, and the specialized doctor I saw the next day said they were right. I was kept in hospital for three days, and I improved so fast that one of the doctors I saw didn't believe I could have had meningitis. I am out of hospital now, but seeing doctors all the time, and still very weak and in pain, and I've had to miss two important exams.:/ They are also checking me for permanent after effects of the meningitis, because I'm slightly deaf in one ear, and have a weak arm and leg. Hopefully they will return to normal though. I'm currently not well enough to do a proper post, but Lindsay typed one up before I went into hospital that I will post later or tomorrow.:) I'm sorry again fir the gap between posts. Thank you for understanding though.:)
I got the Disney Animators' Collection Anna and Elsa for my birthday though, so I may review them on here soon. They're really cute! They also may get their own blog - I'll let you know if they do.:)
