Dengue fever update

Hmm.

Oh well, folks... sorry to keep you guys waiting... the past few days have been significantly horrible enough to merit me hoping they will NEVER happen again:

1. I managed to develop two or more ulcers in the throat which makes every single meal a dreaded affair.

2. Every meal is porridge and veggies (silent tears).

3. I've completely lost my sense of smell.

4. I've had to visit the polyclinic twice (and just spending time waiting for the doctor constitutes 97% of the time), both times I had to do a blood test where a nurse kindly pushed some hugantic needle into my arm (I could even see the bloody hole in the needle).

5. (Unlike Alvin), my bowels seem to have clenched up more than usual.

6. I have never discovered how uncomfortable my usually inviting bed has been.

7. It just sucks being ill.

8. I have to do another blood test on monday.


Thankfully, things are much better today (execpt for the above 1, 2, 3 and 5) and my head has not been as clear as now although I would love to have my sense of smell back... it's getting rather boring nowadays.


Cheers,

Crawldaddy
