Phew.

Everything seemed to be in a blur yesterday as after my previous post, when I woke up, instead of feeling better I felt even worse. Went to consult John instead of Dr Ang. Says its a throat infection. Gave me a ton of pills to eat, and also a jab to lower my fever. Crazy guy. Gave me an injection of an entire syringe of fluids. Anyway, when I went home I just slept for only like, what, 4 hours? Then I woke up because my fever came back again. Sigh.

Therefore I spent the entire afternoon doing nothing much, except for drinking cold water to keep myself cool, applying those cooling thingys to keep my brain cool, and washing my face for a total of 6 times just to feel better. Couldn't sleep at all because whenever I stayed still for a moment my face would feel unbearably hot. I think I spent the whole afternoon at 38.5 - 39.7 degrees.

Then came the part where my temp rose to 39.9, and my family was starting to get worried. Rushed to hospital and consulted a doctor, who made us wait for at least 1 hour before seeing us. By then my head was extremely heavy and well, I wasn't in the state of being able to walk on my own. Doc gave me about 40(!!) panadol pills and told me to come back if fever persists for another 2 days.

On the way home i heard through my mom that my sis actually cried when she prayed with my grandma at home while we were in Tan Tock Seng cos she was worried about me. Very touched.
