Description
I went the evening if the 4th of July. Was there until 7pm. Went home to shower and get ready for work. Around 12am the 5th at work I felt bad, like weak and my throat was sore. Finish work, go home my throat was reddish and a bit sore. Body felt a bit sore. Fell asleep, woke with fever and body aches all day. Sore throat went away. Next day less fever but diarrhea and upset stomach. Next day diarrhea and woke up with very red crusty gooey left eye. After a few hours it didn't go away so I went to the hospital for treatment. I've had nasty yellow green phlegm for about 2 days. Feeling better with meds prescribed.Additional Data
