Anyways...

Well, how bout this for health: During Chicago, Midwest regional, I get one NASTY cough. Im getting pretty sick to the point where I have to go to a doctor. At this point, its a week before Houston when I get to a doctor, and I'm told that theres definetly something wrong with my respiratory passages. They have me do a asthma treatment (I've never had asthma btw), and then give me three sets of medicine to take. I start taking them, and 3 days later develop some sort of red bump thing all over me (later found to be an allergic reaction to zipthromax). This is only days before houston now, and the doctor is also wondering if maybe I have walking pneumonia (sp?). All of this is also, btw, resulting in me having no voice throughout competition. Of course, in true FIRST spririt, I arrive at Houston despite my parents and doctor saying I should stay home and rest. Ha! Instead, I ran the 4 flights of ramps many times a day. Im still alive, arent I?
