Heys! I'm blogging once again. This time, it's about an unexpected break from work. Hahas, cause I got sick.
So yesterday was the start of August. And how did I start August of year 2012?
I slept early the night before on the 31st of July thinking I could get more rest. However, I was awaken at around 2.00am yesterday morning on the 1st of August with an aching in my legs. I chose to ignore it though as I really needed my sleep. After much rolling and flipping around, I finally managed to fall asleep. It was about an hour later that I woke up again due to the aching. It was really uncomfortable. Again, I tried really hard to go back to sleep and then I woke up again at 5.00am. This time, I had a splitting headache too. I was then contemplating calling off sick for the day and going to see a doctor as it was soon time to wake up and there was no point in trying to go back to sleep.
Moments later after 6.00am, I took my temperature and was shocked to see that the readings on the thermometer went shooting up way past 37, then 38... finally stopping at 39.4°C!! I've never gotten such a high fever mann!! At least, not that I remember.
I definitely needed to visit the doctor. I sent an sms to my spec telling him I won't be calling in for duties today and then left for the Polyclinic with my Mum who had taken the day off due to my sudden fever. I only left after taking some medication for fever though. After a long wait and a blood test at the Polyclinic, I was confirmed to be having fever, but it was not dengue. Hahas, I had been fearing the worst, that this was the dengue fever that I had been waiting for. I had been bitten by a mosquito with white stripes recently about a few weeks back. Thankfully, this wasn't it. I guess it may never come then.
So I was then given some medication and TWO DAYS MC!!! Hahas, I immediately informed my Spec about it once again. I then left the clinic soon after collecting my medicine which were free of charge as well. I was given medicine for my sore throat, fever and some antibiotics. My fever had subsided to around 36.9°C by then so I was almost cured of fever.
This is day two of my MC and I'm feeling much better now as I blog. My fever is non- existent and my throat is healing really quickly. There is almost no phelgm left already and I feel more comfotable speaking already. Yupp... I'll be heading back for duties tomorrow hahas!
