• The Beauty of Google

  Last weekend I woke up at around 5:10am to take a shower.  I was getting ready to head out to some yardsales.  While I was in the shower I spit.  I noticed my spit was a brownish color.  I then spit again in my hand to get a good look at it.  I'm starting to freak a little now.

  My mom is a nurse so I decide I need to page her at the hospital to go over my symptoms with her.  When I talked to her she told me that if I started feeling really bad or if I got a fever to call the doctor.

  Next, I go to brush my teeth.  Every time I spit out the toothpaste I saw more brownish stuff (I'm thinking dried up blood).  Wondering if my sinuses were the issue or a bloody nose I blew my nose...it was clear as could be.  I then stick out my tongue to get a good look and it is stained a total brown color!!! 

  At this point I'm feeling a little woozy.  I think something doesn't quite feel right about me.  I may be dying I think...I mean we're all dying but maybe mine was at a faster pace than everyone else's.

  I ate macaroni and cheese and a diet mountain dew the night before and that was around 6:30pm...nothing brown.

  As I'm waiting for my mother in law to come pick me up I decide to key my symptoms into google.  First thing that popped up was a girl who had woke up with a brown tongue and later discovered it was due to a pepto bismol tablet she had taken the night before...WHAT?  I took one the night before too...wooohooooo, I'm going to live!!!

  I saved myself tons in labwork, doctor bills, etc. by using google.  I would have went around all day Saturday making my family think I was going to die and suffering from pains that only existed because my tore up mind told me I was dying.

  So, to all my family who think I use the internet too often...think again!!!
