sick
about 3days ago, i was hit with my most serious bout of illness in recent years.
when i reported sick in camp on friday morning, the medical officer told me it's a case of flu, cough and slight fever. he sent me home with one day's MC, a much-prized trophy by many, but frankly i didnt really care much for i was still feeling alright. just a little sick.
nothing a panadol and sleep can't cure!
in less than 12hours, the so-called flu, cough and slight fever have developed into a full-blown viral infection and i was rendered helpless on my bed. my fever has shot beyond 39degrees, vomitted all over myself, on my bed, my bedroom floor, my mum's jacket and thankfully, the worst of it into the bathroom basin.
basically i vomitted everywhere everything which i ate in the last 12hours. by the time i started vomitting water, i told myself never this is so NOT the way to lose weight.
and i've consumed 4panadols and slept almost 10hours. and still no cure.
my parents finally decided it's getting a little out of hand. fate has it that my own family doctor, whom i trusted and like, decided that friday night is one of those days where hot chicks are always out in full force, so he closes early on fridays. inevitably, i was brought to another doctor somewhere in yishun.
even the short walk from my bed to my bedroom door needed the asistance of my mum. heck, even sitting upright in my bed require some superhuman effort from myself!
goodness, i really was a useless lump of fats at that time. =(
the trip to the doctors was made on my dad's car. even the slightest bump felt like Mike Tyson's punch to my head. when we reached, i half wanted to check the floor for my brains, for it felt like my head was split into two.
in my state of semi-consciousness, i was administered an injection on my butt; either the doctor was really good at his craft or my butt has accumulated too much of those late-night snacking, as i couldnt feel so much so as a pricking sensation when the needle went in. =x
despite the medication and injection, the fever stayed, the headache worsen, my nose continue to run, but my coughing improved. AND the cough was the least of my concerns. basket~
all these lasted for about 2 days, as i was told by my mum. it felt like 2 years, serious.
sunday morning, i was well enough to eat for the first time in 2 days and this time my body did not reject the food. though, it was only soup guo tiao, but i really welcome the warmth it brought to my stomach.
throughtout this little espisode, i really tried my best to sms dear and replied a few of my friends. one of my favourite past-times (by default i should emphasis) messaging was limited as i was so weak and giddy that focusing on the handphone suddenly appear as hard as solving those MENSA-listic algebra questions! still, it really warms my heart to receive any messages, especially from friends who express their concerns, and of course from you.
i'm really thankful i have my parents for taking care of me, especially my mum who didnt sleep much at all. and my sis for making sacrifices for me too. thank you.
gene, berd, jielin and jie. thanks.
for those who don't know, it's ok! =)
dear,
sorry if i made you worried and =(..
thank you.
i really wish for you to be by my side during those few days. but sadly, the circumstances wouldnt allow.
