The spots are gone, almost. He put me on some steroid medicine and they have cleared up. I'm so happy they are gone.
Today is the last day of the Fat Smash 2010 competition. I have dropped a few kilograms, but I'm not sure what my percentage of fat loss is. I know that my bad belly fat has dropped from 11 to 6 (where ever those numbers came from:) We are having a potluck party today. Its going to be so fun. I'm bringing my now famous Peanut Butter Pie. Let me tell you it will rock their world (and yours one day). At the gym yesterday, I'm not sure if it was the 5days of rest, and being sick or the steroids, but I was feeling like the Hulk! Ashley and I were joking that today for the last workout I'm going to be throwing those kettle-bells around like marshmallows. I'll let you know how that goes.

The spotted animal
Its official. I have gained animal characteristics. I am now covered in BIG red spots. Did I mention, my new ultra sharp claws help with the constant itching.
It all began last Thursday. I had a super aggressive workout at the gym, and came home with some aches and pains. Once Friday rolled around, I couldn't focus and I was not feeling awesome. I thought that it was simply a neck out of place, or a pressure headache. [I have a really bed physical reaction to pressure changes; severe headache along with digestive problems.] But when this persisted well into Saturday I started to worry. I hadn't eaten anything since Thursday, and I just wanted all of this to go away. No such luck.
Sunday I paniced and went into the hopistal. I was given the royal treatment; 5 x-rays, blood, urine and st**l tests, and ECG (Why? I know), plus some IV fluids and pain medicine. It was quite a pleasant experience. It turns out I had food poisoning. I don't know where or from what, because no one else was sick that I had meals with. Also because I have insurance, it only cost a mere 84$. And that was for an ER visit.
On Monday I stayed home from school because the D*** hadn't stopped. I went to the International Care Center at the hospital. It was nice to have a fluent doctor. He gave me antibiotics and pain meds for 5 days. OK great, I don't have to come back until Saturday!! WRONG.
Tuesday arrived and so did the spots. They began to appear early. On my lip, on my hands and feet. At first I thought they were mosquito bites. By Wednesday I had LOTS of spots. I went to the doctor after school to get some antihistamines. He gave me an aggressive treatment. Now its Thursday, and my eyelids are so puffy that its hard to look up. I have successfully changed into a red leopard.
Again, off to see my new best friends- the Nurse Ja-yin Lee and the Doctor Sung min Kim. (We even joke that we have seen to much of each other.) They notice my swelled face as soon as they see it. " Oh, look at the face!" Now, I will try some steroids and see what that will do in the next three days. I will go back on Saturday if it hasn't cleared up. At that point a Dermatologist will be blended into the mix. The doctor thinks the skin eruption is from the food poisoning. I had tainted water some where, as this is common with water borne bacterias. He doesn't think it was an allergic reaction from the medicine.
I HATE hospitals. Did I mention that? But at least he is confident, and I'm getting excellent care. This hospital is totally sweet and brand new, Haeundae Paik Hospital.
I hope this transformation will not last very long. I want to enjoy my really body's transformation (I've been working out hard core and it feels good).
I'll keep you posted.... meowww
