Jinxed
This has to be the worst fever I have ever been plagued in my entire life. On to the 3rd day and counting, the fever is showing no sign of subsiding.
Here’s the ironic part. On Tuesday morning, I informed my superior that I will be leaving by lunch and will not be coming in on Wednesday. Reason being, there wasn’t really much to do at work, thus I wanted to use the time to go hang out etc. I went home for a nap, and it was then where all hell broke loose. I woke up feeling very warm and yet my feet and palms were cold. I knew at that very moment, something was very wrong with me. I took my body temperature and it turned out to be a shocking 38.8˚. Yes I should have seen a doctor immediately, but I felt too faint to leave the house. Popped a Panadol at night before I slept hopping that I will be better tomorrow.
I was not. In fact I was feeling worst. At night, I had problems breathing. My nose was completely blocked and I could only breathe through my mouth. That lead to a dry throat which acts up whenever I try to moisturize it. So now I have a fever, very bad sore throat, a completely blocked nose and muscle aches all over me.
The doctor gave me a day of m.c. But it seems that his medicine isn’t working very well. Wednesday night, my nose was cleared on and off. But the air that I exhaled was so warm that I felt my nose were being burnt with every breathe. So the least painful way of breathing will be to inhale through my noise and exhale through my mouth. But it’s kind of troublesome.
Usually when I have a sore throat, I will take Strepsils, even if it is going to take 24 lozenges and it works. Not this time round. No I have not taken 24, only 6, but it doesn’t seem to have any effect on the sore throat.
Right now, nothing seems to have changed much. I am still having a fever though it has dropped below 38 degrees for now. The sore throat is still happily hang around, so are the muscle aches and headaches. I keep wondering, is it a sign that the Lord is calling me home? Or will I be paralyzed or something. Ok, I am being delusional.
