(part 1) The Paramedic, Deeahnne and the Wardrobe

"Deeahnne, it is forbidden to move your head while inside the machine."
I asked no questions. How could I? He didnt speak English and the French translation for "imminent death" wasnt coming to mind.
I couldnt even think straight. What was happening?

Lets go back to Saturday.

All week I had been fighting this mild cold and headache. The cold Paris winter was setting in and my body was aching all over. Especially my lower back. Chick thing, maybe. whatever. I didnt really didnt think about it too much. That is, until Saturday morning when I woke up in a pool of sweat and could barely walk 2 steps. I called a friend and asked him to please come over as I think I need to go to the hospital. Something wasn't right.
1 hour, 3 prayers later, two paramedics show up, one of which is ooh la la so cute (even sick my mind is still in the gutter). Anyway, before we leave the apartment, let me describe the scenario.

Imaginee- Deeahnne sitting slumped on the couch, sweat glistening on every uncovered part of my body, my mouth half open, staring at something, not sure what, but it must have been very important b/c diverting my eyes for even a second was going to be a task. I couldnt form words. My english had officially broken and I couldnt form a phrase if my life depended on it and maybe it did. So I'd point to the areas of pain and I believe it is here when I started rocking back and forth. I was getting cold and I needed action.I just kept thinking, "lets go, lets go lets go."
Finally they feel my forhead and we're outta there. 42 degrees.

We walk out the door and into the elevator when the paramedic sees that im not wearing any shoes. I hadnt even noticed. didnt care really. so my friend runs upstairs to my bedroom and grabs, of course, the ugliest pair of shoes I own. perfect.

So I leave my house for the adventure into the famed world of French healthcare wearing: a shiny navy blue windbreaker, a shortsleeve yellow T shirt that reads "Aloha", maroon sweatpants with bedazzling on the waist, black socks, and bright coral flats with gold embellishment on the toes. And even after all this, I thought to myself in the elevator on the way down, "I should have grabbed a hat."

Lets check in shall we?
