Apologies about the delay, iPhones tend to have mood swings.*
Wednesday 1st August
A calm and sober night on the Tuesday should have done me some good under normal circumstances, but these were not normal circumstances. I felt 15726682 times worse than I had the previous day and I knew then that my entire holiday was on a knife edge. I once again spent the whole day in that miserable room on my own, however this time violent sickness was taking its toll. You know things are not good when you begin to bring up pure blood!
My biggest problem was that I could not even keep water down, and was becoming dehydrated extremely fast. I tried everything to improve the way I was feeling, nothing was working. I wasn't until mid afternoon, after I had filled myself with all sorts off medication I had brought to counter feeling like this, that I felt confident*enough to go 30 minutes without being sick.*
Getting ready was the single hardest hour of my life, attempting to get myself up for going to SHM. In true Ibiza spirit I managed and headed down to the highlander to meet our mates who had just arrived. There was 13 of them, and I had bought there tickets for SHM the day we arrived (they were worried about them selling out), but there was a problem, each and every one of them had severely overdone it that day, going all the way PDB with them was almost unbearable feeling the way I was.*
Somehow I managed to get them all in taxis and only myself, C1 & D1 remained. Once again we found a local guy willing to take us for 50 euros and off we went, running quite late I might add. Things deteriorated further from there, the traffic around San An was a nightmare, and in a warm car feeling like I was there was only so much I could take. Regrettably, about 4 miles outside of San Antonio, I had to get out the car and head back to the hotel. My god that was a long walk, a few times I had to stop for fear of collapsing. To make it clear just how bad this was, I seriously considered heading to the hospital!
Made it back to the hotel and had a short sleep in reception (always cold with the air-con). I woke up feeling slightly better, but not quite good enough to head to the strip too watch the Celtic in our Champions League Qualifier. Instead I opted to use the hotel computers and watch it on the Internet. A tip to anybody, never watch your team playing while in the midst of a comedown, as if I wasn't agitated enough! I spent the entire 90 minutes shaking, it was uncontrollable. My shouting at the computer soon gathered quite a crowd, including the night guard and the two barmen, who supplied me with a constant flow of water.
It's amazing what a football match can do to your mood, I felt a million times better, I even felt like a few pints. L1, L2 and S1 were down the west end along with the lads staying at Ibiza Rocks, so I headed down to meet them at Kilties.*
Similar to the Tuesday, we spent the whole night down the west end, predictably alternating between the highlander and kilties. I managed 2 Magners, and even more unbelievably, i managed to eat. This was the first thing I had eaten since Sunday afternoon, I was actually beginning to look like a drug addict with each passing day without food.*
Only managed until 3.30am that night, it had been a fairly uneventful night again, upon returning to the hotel I noticed the hallucinations were no where near as bad and I hadn't been sick for a few hours, things were looking promising!
It was Cream 18th birthday that night and I was beginning to think I might just make it.
