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 .
