this post is gonna be nothing more than just pouring out
the process of my recovery and it's gonna be uber long winded/detailed.
i'm glad the fever frenzy's finally finished.
actually i've still no clue as to what triggered it,
but i'm suspecting it's the exposure to rain on sunday.
but then again, it's not as if i usually fall sick
when exposed to the rain, so by making the rain accountable
for the whole me falling sick thing = unfair.
because,looking back i don't remember being drenched
or at least significantly drenched by the rain of sorts so mmmm.
so i suppose i was prolly in a more
vulnerable state than usual which landed me in a sick state.
actually, i believe it's more than just the rain that's behind it.
so monday came,
and with monday came
the onset of a slight fever as well.
slight fever of 37.8 but i was reluctant to skip GP tuition
cause skipping GP tuition would mean missing out on 4 hours
of input into this not so brainy brain of mine.
so okay, off i went for tuition and guess what,
i could clearly feel my temperature rising along with the
ticking of the clock.
there was totally no need for a thermometer
to determine the accuracy of my feeling at that point in time.
contemplated leaving after 2 hours because there was a choice to do so
but that would mean the need to come back again for another 2 hours
in the same week and so i thought, nevermind just continue ren-ning
but little did i know the heat within my brain mounted up in such
that when i came home, it was as if my head was on fire(almost literally)
till i couldn't control my tears which continually streamed down from my eyes,
hot tears at that, haha okay lah not quite but yeahhh.
plus, it didn't help that i was home all alone was of no comfort
but figured it was pretty pointless calling either parent plus,
i was already in a frail state, my mind that is since my body was still able.
so took awhile to regain my lost composure and grabbed the panadol
from the fridge along with an uber huge nike bottle which could store much water
at that point still enduring the close to excruciating pain that was present at that point in time.
and you bet, panadol sure does wonders cause' when i woke up after that
and measured my temperature it was 37.8 again, or was it 37.9? no, i think it's 37.8
and forgot to mention it shot all the way up to 38.7 after tuition by the way.
okay, so the whole trauma was over yes yes i thought it was traumatic enough
cause' i have never in my entire life given off tears
so freely for fever's sake, ghee.
okay so right, that was it
but fever returned gradually when night came
with the highest being 39.4 but even 39.4 wasn't as bad as 38.7 previously
and attempts to study which i did so for like 28 min according to twitter,
didn't turn out very fruitful cause' a headache with fever would mean .
which is strangely odd but mmmm so headed to the docs' the following day
and where i was given two H1N1 advisory booklet/pamphlet and was made to wear a mask
and left with a bag of pills in my hands and the uh, not so socially responsible
me refused to wear the mask outside of the clinic and so took it off,
but hey i checked with the clinic staff first, yes and so only upon her consent
did i take out the mask and headed to buy pork porridge.
figured it's a cheap and pretty good alternative i mean like, $2 bucks.
where can you get some cheap and reasonably tasty food up for grabs now.
ate then slept then woke and i can't remember what happened altogether
but i remember feeling better but cough and flu was still there,
cough worsened as compared to the first day.
oh no,
guess what.
i've reached a point where i'm too lazy to continue rambling on this
so in conclusion,
the only benefits i've derived from all these,
was..
1) being able to sleep and brush off the cares of the world momentarily(although not quite in some sense)
2) being able to consume brown-brack liquid aka known as cough mixture :D ta de wei dao zhen de shi yi chi bang ! :D
i've always had this secret desire to wanna like, consume more than the usual amount
which i remember giving in to it, but just by like 2 tear drops size more yesyes not a big deal i know but you gotta realise the euphoria that emanates from consuming jus that two more tear drop like amount hahaha.
but all in all,
the demerits of being sick ah, far outweighs the merits of being sick.
especially at such a point in time.
till then.
but still, thank God i came out of it alive, yay.
now there's only cough and flu to battle,
slight flu and slight cough.
