So guess who got herself hospitalized for kidney inflammation? Yeah, that would be me. I got sent to the emergency room on Tuesday with major pain (seriously, I don't think I've ever been in so much pain), throwing up, a fever etc and they did a whole bunch of tests and eventually a CT and concluded I got an inflammation around the kidneys. I had never heard of this before, but apparently it can happen and can be rather serious if not treated, and can even kill you in the end. I was put on some intravenous drugs and then sent home with a whole bunch of pills the next day. So now I am home taking my medicine like a good girl while in minor pain and feeling vaguely sorry for myself. It's not helped by the fact that my parents are in Spain (on holiday) so they can't come and nurse me, and nursing yourself isn't the same.

This was not how I envisioned my week would go. But yeah. That happened.

I hope you're having a better week than me.
