Sick, Again

It's the days of being unwell that ticks me off. This time it's a little worse than just a mild fever or cough. It's a whole package and more.

Fever + Flu + Cough + Sore Throat + Headache + Ankle Pain

Weird right? Like I'm sure you know for the others, but ankle pain? Well, I'm not sure what's it called but it was pain around the ankle area. I could not lift or twist my foot at most ankles. I can apply pressure to my heels and toes, but just couldn't lift them up.

First day, went to my regular doctor - It was only for fever. Other illness didn't turn up yet. So, it was the usual wait as well as the usual medicine for the fever.

I could wait with the entertainment system powered on.

I waited for as long as 2/3 of the show!

Went back and immediately started taking honey water to sooth my throat.

But it didn't quite help, as my throat become very much sore the following day.

And I lost my voice as well.

Second day, I had a terrible sore throat and was coughing very bad. Not to mentioned the flu started to kick in. At the same time I felt a terrible pain at my ankle. Still, I went to work thinking I could still function, but it didn't quite workout. If working without voice is bad enough, the ankle pain made everything worse. Towards evening, I couldn't stand it anymore and so I made effort to go the clinic just below my office. However, the doctor was out on an emergency case, so I had no choice but to make my way to the clinic across the street.

Darn clinic, charge me so much for wrapping my and a few medicines - pain relief and muscle relaxant.

Made it look worse than it is!

Third day, I went back to my doctor and asked about the medicine given to me by the other clinic, and was told there was no muscle relaxant medicine at all (=.=") I felt cheated. Anyways, my doctor told me that the pain I felt at the ankle could be due to 3 possibilities:

1. Gout
2. Gout effect due to medicine (but highly unlikely)
3. Achilles tendon (probably like overstretched muscles)

So it's either 1 or 3, I didn't feel necessary to do any further testing, so I asked my doctor to prescribe me both gout-relief and muscle relaxant medicine. And guess what? After taking both, I felt much better and plus some rest at home, it's pretty effective to me.

This time I get to watch Toy Story 3 instead.

Watched about 1/2 way I think?

If you didn't believe that my ankle was hurting so much,

here's something I used to walk around for third day.

Stayed at home since then and watch some k-drama. Currently, catching up on Blood series.

It's about some vampires who became doctors? LOL go figure.

Anyways, do Spock and the korean dude look alike?

Then, I caught up on my favourite anime, Kuroko's Basketball.

It's getting more exciting now!

Check out what happened to my desktop!

I swear I didn't arrange this! It was sick too, I guess.

Coupled with my medicine, I took some chicken essence.

Said to be a booster for health. No harm trying out something that's good.

I even took a number of vitamins as well.

Sick & Bored At Home

If you know me, then you'll know that it's pretty rare to find me taking MC. I would still feel unwell, but rarely do I need to visit the doctor ('cause I dislike going to clinics or hospitals) and get an MC. But when the condition's too much for me to handle, I have no choice.

Today's one of those days. Thankfully, I'm just having some uneasiness and a hard time getting some sleep. Doctor Don, my favourite doctor (what? just because I dislike clinics and hospitals, I can't like a doctor? =P), says I might be over-stressed or worse case, it could be the start of a viral fever. I don't know which is bad - the fact that I can be over-stressed (I have a very high EQ and I handle stress pretty well too), or that I might get a viral fever (I had this last year, and it was not pleasant, at all!).

Anyways, I was 'blessed' with some muscle-sore relieving medicine so that I can rest properly.

The horror~

Not long after I got back home, it started to rain. My eyes had plenty of rest so they were quite wide opened. However due to the rain, Astro had nothing to show me - typical satellite service, pfft! Anyway, I decided not to let be down, and watch some dramas while I lazed out on my sofa. 

How heavy was it? Try hearing it for yourself.

Yea that's what I decided to be!
