I'm not really someone who falls sick often but lately, it's getting more frequent. And each time I do fall sick, I'm sure to get it 'damn teruk' or really bad.
I woke up with a mild sore throat on Tuesday and thought nothing of it as I got dressed for work, by 2 plus in the afternoon, I was so sick that I went back home to rest (Yes I did!!) as I had to be back in the office by 6pm as our team was having dinner with some lawyers in QE2. By 5pm plus, I was down with sore throat, fever, headache and slight cough.
If there's one thing I really dislike about fevers is the body ache that comes along with it. I was so weak, I could hardly walk, I called the clinic and the doctor wasn't in and since I didn't wanted Wong to think that I'm making up excuses to miss the dinner and that I lack team spirit or whatever, despite the heavy downpour, I went back to the office.
I nearly died, my butt was screaming from the body ache, I was seeing stars, dehydrated and dizzy and still I sat there till dinner time.
During dinner, I was getting more and more fidgety and restless. I wanted to cry of pain of frustration of everything but I kept a goofy smile on my face while my body was screaming . Ate little and called my dad at 8pm to fetch me to the doctor's. Thank God I did.
I doubt I would have lasted the night if I went to the doctor's the next morning. The night itself was hell, I tossed and turned enough times to set a world record. I was both hot and cold, sweating madly, drifting in and out of sleep, having nightmares, dehydrated still and aching like nobody's business. My fingers felt like sausages, my body felt black and blue and as if there was clamps on my head.
I woke up about 4 times through the night mostly because I was thirsty and then needing the toilet. I kept having nightmares of having to search for something. I dreamt that I was in a room very much like being in the Dream Day. I was on a quest to find hundred of items on a list and I was going crazy.
ARGH, what a nasty dream. It kept my brains functioning through the entire night and by the first crack of dawn, I was exhausted, sticky and going nuts.
Had to answer so many phone calls today despite having no voice and the headache still lingering about like a bad hang over, I'm about to go out and kill someone.
