Down Wif Pneumonia .....
Wednesday, February 27, 2008
Chance discovery .
Was actually feeling wayyyy better than last week , but tot hell I needed to get some medicine for that irritating gunk of phlegm that has been keeping me awake for the past few nights . Really got that horrid drowning feeling U know ? So , this morning (27/02/08) I finally moved my ass and went to the Polyclinic wif da Mum in tow . She wanted to do some long overdue routine blood tests lar . Was actually tinking of juz going to the GP but lucky Mommy say better go back to my workplace or to the Polyclinic 'coz she tinks I need a chest x-ray . I tell ya , ALWAYS TRUST YOUR MOTHER'S WORDS !! :D So I did , go to the Polyclinic , 'coz itz nearer to my place . And boy did I wish I had gone back to my workplace instead . Why ? Ya lah ! 'Coz of the wait lar . Spent like 5 hours there !! Oh well , can't grumble . Own fault for being lazy . But U win some , U lose some lah . Haven't seen such a reasonable medical bill in like eons . :D 1 chest x-ray , 1 full blood count , tonnes of medication , 2 days MC and a consultation wif a very nice lady doctor was WELL worth the moolah , which I shall say is less than $50 ? Wahaha !! Big help . Anyhoos , to cut the long story short , I'm stuck wif a whole bag of medications and I need to return for a repeat chest x-ray next Wednesday (05/03/08) . Haizzz , hope I can spare the time 'coz school starts again next week :( . And , I juz wanna declare , I LOVE MY MOMMY , even though she's unreasonable at times :D . Itz during these type of times of needs that she'll show how much she truely cares . So guilty for being the bad brat who always breaks her heart , or so she says lar :p . I was shocked momentarily when she cried a little (when I wasn't looking) after hearing the doctor say I'm down wif pneumonia . She didn't know I was that seriously ill . Hey , I'm not lah , seriously seriously !! I feel better than last week really ! But who knew ... . Anyway , I know why she felt so strongly about the whole thing . 'Coz when she herself was 29 (and I was juz a tot of 4 years) , she nearly died of pneumonia too !! Really !! I can still vaguely remember her lying so sick on the hospital bed in SGH . :'( And when she survived the ordeal , she told me (when I was bigger oso lar) that when she was fighting for survival , she prayed to her religion to let her live on just another 10 years , juz to see little ME grow abit bigger . :'( A mother's love !! :'( Well , she's since lived past that 10 years and I pray that she'll have many many more 10 years 'coz I really love her alot even though we argue most of the time . :D Hey , we have our funny times oso lah , not juz whole day fight 1 lah . And watz so touching is that juz now while walking home from the polyclinic , she held my hand and said solemnly "Ah Roon (stop laughing Sammy) , if U ever die b4 me , U muz remember to take me and Bibi Boy (my dog) and all the cats along leh ." Ma ma ah !! :D Tatz my mum 4 U .

Down and Out .....

I'm sick ... AGAIN !!! :( Quite a bad attack of URTI this time round . Had a little sore throat on Wednesday (20/02/08) , and subsequently developed fever (ranging from 37.7 to 38.8 degrees) and lost my voice from Thursday (21/02/08) till today (24/02/08) . Thankfully the yellowish phlegm-y cough lasted only 1 day . But I'm still coughing like a dusty chimney now and I get really really out of breath and light-headed when I lie flat on my bed , or if I walk too much . Bah !! Feel like an invalid . Now really understand how those respi patients suffer . Just hope I dun develop asthma or something . Been self medicating with some balance antibiotics and Panadol from last year and hope I'll get better .
Falling sick twice in the two months since I started school is wayyy ... too much to bear lah . This NEVER happened when I was working . Seriously ? Seriously ! I'm not kidding . Maybe a little bit of sniffles and aches here and there got lar , but never this bad . And I remember the last time I got as sick as this (or worse) was years ago when I was studying for my Diploma .
So what does that tell U ? School kills !! :( Doesn't help that my CC is insane !! F*cking freaking insane !! Setting us all the bloody unrealistic goals and deadlines . Juz because she herself is so knowledgable (gotta give her credit for that) and freaking hyper-efficient , doesn't mean ALL earthlings are the same wat . WTF ?! And when we verbalise to her that we are 'drowning' , she'll juz f*cking nonchalently go , "No choice . This is what your hospitals wanted (that the course be shrunk from 11 months to 8 months) . When you all go back (as in after graduation) , you must feedback this to your hospitals . I myself do not approve of the course being cut short ." So f*cking unfeeling !!! No words of sincere concern . Seems like all the younger CCs are like tat ! Go and rot in hell U people ! KNN !! We're here to get some knowledge , NOT lose our health and minds , mind you .
Thankfully it's break week tis week (25/02/08 - 02/03/08) . But we have like 2 assignments to hand in , 3 tests coming up and a few presentations . :'( Soooo ..... haizzz .
Think I'm juz going to die already . :(
