Tuesday Morning



I was up early on a Tuesday Morning. 6.48am to be exact.
Still awake.
Though, the eyes are are gonna close anytime soon.

Im currently under medical leave.
Again.

I noe, i noe.

Health's been super bitchy.

My colleague, a former resident of my current classroom says its the fengshui of the class.
Which got me pondering.
Hey, it could be, might be true.

I spent the whole of last week battling a on and off fever.
I was sick but i endured the whole of last week to make it to school.
I cant believe i thought of work rather than myself.

So the fact is, national day weekend saw me getting really really high fever.
And i was always complaining about the growth in my neck.
It was really painful.
It hurts when i drink.
Hurts when i swallow.
Hurts when i laugh.
Hurts when i talk.
Hurts when i cough.
Hurts even more when someone touches it.

People around me kept telling me not to complain so much and pretend to ignore that thing growing in me.
But how could i?
It was damn painful ok.

So, anyways, the fever was getting higher and the lump was getting bigger. The left side of my neck was very very swollen.
Mum got all panicky.
She sent me straight to TTSH.

And what did i get?

6 hours of drip.

The doc pricking the needle in.
Super painful can.

The 2 packets of drip.
6 bladdy long hours.
So the reason why they put me on drip is to bring down my temperature.
It was that high.

6 hrs with nothing to do.
Snap snap.And to think my mum asked me to sleep but i just couldnt.
With the bright lights and the bustling of doctors and nurses.
And an incident which im gona explain in a while.

Something funny happened while i was at the observation place.
It wasnt really that funny but it seems like drama in the hospital seems rare nowadays and my neighbour made it worthwhile while i was there.

My 'neighbour', a girl. Ok no. Maybe a young lady. Say, around my age. She was screaming and crying and kicking when the doctors wanted to take her blood.
Goodness.
I was so trying to control my laughter.
I'd be super embarrassed if i was her.

I can still remember her shouts, "I wanna go home! I wanna go home!"

Ohh, puhlease.
The reason why i cant sleep.

Anyhoos, doc took a series of tests on me too.

ECG, X-Ray, full blood count, urea, Pregnancy test (like wth) and many many others.
All normal.

I was discharged from TTSH at 2200hrs with a goodie bag.

I normally love goodie bag but dis one is a big NO-NO.

Loads and loads of pills to pop.
Painkillers and panadols aside, im just popping in the antibiotics.
And maybe take a sip of the cough syrup.

Update: Do you know that this entry was done this morning but ive been having difficulty posting it up cause there seems to be a network crisis
Im finally posting it up.

I JUST woke up btw. =)
The medication is bad. Tsk tsk.
How am i going to make it back to work tomoro?
Oh btw, ive finally privatised my photos in multiply.
Meaning only my contacts are able to view my pictures.
The rest of you... Awwww too bad.
Maybe, YOU can set up an account and add me as a contact and then i'll consider whether i wanna accept you or not.

I AM NOT gonna retaliate cause its a freaking waste of time.
EVERYONE knows that. =)

Ok those are totally irrelevant ramblings of someone who just woke up.
Dont mind me.

Oh and THANKS to my twin sister for buying HOTCAKES for me this morning.
Breakfast in bed super awesome can?
