Sick Journal

Dear Lord, please heal me.

It started a week ago, I was busy with work, with little brother coming over, with buying Christmas gifts. Last Thursday, I officially fall sick, was coughing horribly. But, I thought to myself - I shall recover naturally! I shall not see a doctor. I was recovering... or so I thought.

On Christmas day, the cousins asked me to stay over their place. In the morning, we had dim sum. That's when it gets bad. I chewed on one of the 排骨 bone, and then something cracked hard. It wasn't that bad at that time. But it got worse. For two consecutive nights, I had fever on and off. I went to the dental clinic despite my utter dislike of the place (just means that I've grown up).

Dentist: Which tooth was it?
Me: I'm not so sure because the whole area was so pain. I woke up at night due to toothache and fever. 
Dentist: Okay, let's get two X-rays.

The dentist didn't find anything wrong with my teeth. He knocked each and every tooth that I had (practically), and came with the conclusion that I should come next time when I have toothache again.

FML or not I ask you! I had fever and toothache again that night. And I think my energy was drained because I haven't been sleeping well either.

So the next day, I was coughing nonstop in the office.

Chief Architect: Sharon, go home! Don't spread the bacteria to me.
Sharon: I don't want to go home!
Chief Architect: Go and see a doctor, it's just opposite.
Sharon: There's no doctor today... the nurse asked me to come back tomorrow.... :O


*moments later*


*coughing intensively*


CTO: Sharon, are you OK?
Sharon: *paused* *nod* Ya.
CTO: You should go home and rest, and tomorrow you will come brand new. You're not going to do much in this condition.
Sharon: .... 


*CTO walked away*

Sharon: *stares blankly at the computer for 5 whole minutes without registering anything*


Sharon tells Chief Architect: I'm going home.

Chief Architect: We were wondering when would you say that.


Sharon: T_T  

So I went to the clinic nearby my place. Waited two full hours for my turn. The doctor was over really friendly.

Doctor: Hello Sharon! How are you?
Sharon: I'm feeling weak... My fever was on and off... 
Doctor: Oh no, what happened? Let's check your temperature.
Sharon: I think the fever is off right now.. 
Doctor: You're still burning high.
Sharon: Really? It can be a lot worse at night. 

I was being really honest. It felt like a normal temperature at that time. Then I went to Bak Kut Teh place, wanted to tapao.

Uncle: Tapao for how many people?
Sharon: One person.
Uncle: For you? Fever?
Sharon: Ya.
Uncle: Fever cannot eat! Go! *gestures me to go away*
Sharon: *walks away sadly*

I came back with antibiotics, cough syrup, flu pills, fever pills.... So, I posted on my facebook family page about my condition and went to sleep. Woke up at 11a.m. Checked my phone.

Message from dad:
Mom's ETD 10:30a.m.

Sharon: !!!! 

Did a quick damage control for the place. I've got a paranoid parents I know. Yes, they are caring and loving also. Feeling much loved while drinking my green bean soup right now.

Sorry for the uber long post, I won't be posting much so you can split into few days to read..

Have a happy day!
