Since the middle of November everything was pretty darn great - I got out of my chronic depression, I got out of my parents' house and I even made a dark day where I had attempted to take my own life into a turning point for the better that led me to go to school after over seven years of nothing. As I said, things were doing GREAT, heck, I even lost over 40 pounds since summertime!
Then, at 4 AM exactly one week ago, I wake up in pain - painkillers, compresses and even going to the bathroom did nothing to abate the agony I felt and I ended up throwing up thrice in the bathroom. I was rushed to the hospital and ended up stressing and fearing for the worse (an appendicitis) for a good twelve hours only to be told by my parents of all people that a doctor had not even deigned waiting for me to come back from the bathroom and had instead told my parent without my consent (I'm a full adult, ffs!) about my condition; I had a small kidney stone, I had to take this and that medicine to get it through my urethra and that I was free to go. No words to me, just assuming I would get the full message from my parents. As it was, I had to call the local health line to get the full rundown of what to do and what I should avoid. I'm still pissed.
Anyways! Since it was now Saturday night, I was invited to stay at my parents until the next night when I'll return to my own house. The weekend passed pretty quickly, despite the pain and the stress of what to do once the week began again.
You see, as an educational center for adult, my school is pretty strict on attendance. As it was, since we got two weeks off for the holidays, we only have about a two and a half days allowance for absenteeism. As things are, I had to take all those two and a half days off in the last week for health reasons and now I'm stuck with a whole week left to go. I love studying and learning, don't get me wrong! But since the center is so strict on attendance, I don't feel I have the freedom to rest and recover like I should in my condition. Worse, should I miss too much or even four days in a row, I could be expelled with the potential stigma that comes with it.
What the actual f**k can I do now?
