Hall of Famer
I went to Phoenix last week and I had one of the worst week's possible. I figured I would share the details with you guys, since I need somewhere to vent 
Saturday - I went to my sister's wedding at the Los Posada hotel in Scottsdale. Everything went perfectly fine. I had to wear a tux, which sucked, but I did look good
Sunday morning - woke up early for a huge brunch that we were having at my sister's house. We got food catered from Chompies' and it tasted really good.
Sunday afternoon - went to Castle's & Coasters with my friend and my nephew. We had a lot of fun...until we went on the go karts. We got into a huge accident involving four karts and my friend and I had to go to the hospital (John C. Lincoln). She was taken by ambulance. My nephew was ok.
Sunday night - at the ER getting examined, tested, x-rays and all that fun stuff. My friend had a concussion, bruised sternum and she was tearing tissue in her chest when she was breathing. I just had contusions on my back.
Late Sunday night - finally get home from the hospital. Both of us could barely move. We were just laying on the couch all night. I was hungry, so I ate some leftovers from the brunch.
Monday morning - we both woke up feeling a lot worse. We were supposed to fly back to Oakland at 7:30 a.m., but that wasn't going to happen. She was very sore and I was really dizzy, had pain in my neck, shoulders, and numbness in my right arm. So back to John C. Lincoln hospital we went. My friend got a CT Scan of her brain, which showed swelling. I got a CT Scan of my brain and spine, which didn't show anything abnormal. I was diagnosed with bad whip lash.
Monday afternoon - find out that my step-father got really sick and was throwing up all over the place. We figured he just had a virus or something, but then about 10 other people started calling us saying they were sick.
Late Monday evening - with about 15 people sick now, my friend started to get sick. She was up all night throwing up and had the worst pain she said she's ever had.
Tuesday morning - with friend still extremely sick, back to the ER! This time Thunderbird Samaritan Hospital. She was admitted into the hospital for food poisoning. We had found out that two other people at our brunch were also in the hospital.
Tuesday afternoon - call the Maricopa County Health Board, who tells us that two other groups of people who got food catered from Chompies' were also really sick. They said this was an outbreak....
Rest of Tuesday & Wednesday, my friend is stil in the hospital. The health board calls everyone at our brunch to find out what they ate. We had a total of 25 of the 32 people at the brunch got sick (I was lucky, I got sick, but just a little bit). The test results of the other two people in the hospital showed high levels of Ecoli and Salmonella in their systems.
Thursday - my friend finally feels good enough to leave the hospital. We both go home.
How's that for a weekend?
