Super sick week
Wednesday, June 25, 2008
This is Ah Ting reporting her latest health condition.
It's 25 June 2008, 9.36pm now. I'm still feeling okie at the moment. But my fever comes on and off so I'm not sure if it will come back later tonight.
I have been sick since Monday. And I mean super sick. I have never been so sick before.
Woke up on Monday feeling a bit painful in the gastric. Thought it was the late dinner the night before which resulted in the pain. Went to work still. The pain became unbearable in the afternoon. Felt super chilled in the office. Head super heavy. Still, I 'ren' until 3.30pm where I could no longer tolerate anymore. I asked to see a doctor.
The stupid useless doctor. All he did was asked me about my condition. I told him
(1) gastric pain
(2) whole body aching
(3) fever
(4) feel cold
He then pushed a louya thermometer into my mouth. Without waiting for the thermometer's 'tut tut' sound, he took it away and said "No fever". Then he said he would give me some panadol (just in case) and body ache medicine. His next question is the best lo.
"So you want MC for today or tomorrow?"
I feel like showing my middle finger man. It's was around 4pm then. I was about to 'peng sang' liao. All I wanted was to go back home and lay on my bed. If I said MC for tomorrow, that would mean I had to tolerate for another two more hours. I simply couldn't lo. If I said MC for today, then I super lugi. It's already 4pm... and what makes that stupid doctor thinks that one-day MC is enough? Hiyah... in the end, I bobian la... Took MC for the same day and went home.
I think I can become a doctor. One day MC is really not enough for me lo. Throughout the night, my bones ached like hell and I felt super cold (no fan no aircon). I had my quilt covered up to my neck. I could feel my body burning. I know I got fever but I dunno my temperature (cos at home no thermometer).
The next morning, it became so bad that Ah Long drove me to SGH (cos all my symptoms coincide with dengue). Before entering A&E, I had to have my temperature taken. 39.3 lo. That stupid doctor still said I no fever.
After waiting for nearly 4 hours, the doctor couldn't give me a specific answer. My blood platelets is normal but the symptoms I'm having are those of dengue. Doctor din rule out the possibility of contracting dengue. Gave me 3 days MC to rest at home. If conditions dun improve by 26/6, I will have to do a blood test again.
My condition din improve at all. I still feel feverish and chilled. I slept for almost the whole of Tuesday and Wednesday and I totally have no strength to even sit up. I keep lying on my bed, turning and tossing cos my bones ache la... so I desperately need to find a position that can ease my pain.
Never in my life have I been so sick before (minus the time when I did my operation and had infection la... that one dun consider cos that's bcos of operation ma). Is it becos really old le... the 'di kang li' inside me not as strong as before le? I have taken 12 panadols for the past 2 days but the fever just keeps coming back.
It's 12.20am now (cos I chatted with my friends on msn while blogging la.. not I slow hor). I still feel okie. Hopefully the fever dun come back. Please la... dun come back... I feel very xin ku these few days... enough le...
Okie.. I go sleep le.
