I spent a good portion of my evening going to the bathroom, waking up every 1.5 hours. I took my temperature orally at 8am, 103.1°F/39.5°C. Not good. I also had a splitting headache now too. I wrote down my symptoms and drank a lot of water. I talked to Phill on Skype, he was really worried. He told his father and his father called the Aunt. I felt bad that everyone was caring so much for me. I didn’t think it was too serious, but I could be wrong. I went back to bed and the Aunt came at 11am. She and So-young looked so worried when they saw my state. I said thank you to them for taking care of me. They took me to the Osan Seoul General Hospital (SGH) and a doctor checked me. He recommended to me that I get three x-rays, a stool sample, blood work, and a shot. He said it was a good chance I would be admitted to the hospital today. ☹ After all my tests, I was diagnosed with the inflammation of intestines, it was confirmed I would be admitted to the hospital for a week. For the next 2-3 days I wouldn’t eat, but warm water was okay. I went back to my apartment and gathered my things with the help of the Aunt, Young-Rae, and So-Young. The Uncle, Mr. Huh, patiently waited for us in the van. And I went back to the hospital. I was admitted in a two patient room with no roommate (room 311) and I changed into the hospital clothes. The doctor came in and told me (in English) that I wouldn’t eat until my condition improved, he told me to get a lot of rest. Also, I would be getting tablets and syrup for medication; I should take the tablets first and the syrup after an hour after I had taken the tablets. A nurse hooked me up to an IV. I slept after Young-Rae and her family left. They were very very kind to me. Without them, this situation would be far worse.
