Get Sick Week

First of all, I've never imagined myself getting this sick. It started of on Thursday with a really high fever that left my bones feeling as if they were going to break any time. A quick dash to the nearest specialist hospital, and a jab at the bum later made me felt slightly better, and thought that nursing it off for the day would be sufficient.

Come Saturday, the feverish feeling came again, with small shrills of cough and a sharp pain in the throat that made me want to slap my head and say Oh No Not Again. Popped 2 PCMs (that's the name the doctor in Sunway Medical Center gave to paracetamol. I feel repeating it the same way makes me sound "medical"). The feeling of relief came only for a while before sticky stuff started coming out of my left eye, and before you know it, it was red and swollen. So now, with fever, I also had a red throat and a red left eye. Like most Malaysian, and the spirit of Malaysia Boleh, I slept it off, knowing I'd be facing something worse the next morning.

True enough, I could not sleep well that night. Your dad was pretty upset because I wouldn't go to the hospital much earlier (as well as for some reason Mama cannot indulge here). So, he sped us off to Sunway Medical Center A&E. This time the doctor took some blood to test for H1N1 and also dengue. We lounged off for an hour before the result came back negative for both. The doctor asked if I wanted to be admitted. No, thanks was my response.

Two days later, though less feverish and without the sharp pain in my throat, the cough was still there. Especially at night. They keep coming and coming and coming. So, currently, am contemplating if I should make a visit to the medical center again. Still trying to keep the spirit of Malaysia Boleh alive...we'll see how it goes by evening...
