My apologies for being absent for oh so long. Exams were just breathing down my neck. And the last paper was last Wednesday EVENING!. Gotta get used to having exams that start and end at ungodly hours. But syukur that its all over. And now I have my holidays to look forward to.:) Just when I thought the days ahead would get brighter...I fell ill. Not the ordinary "Oh, I'm sick because of a cold/flu". It was the full blown course of fever. Since last Saturday I've been ill with fever. And you know the progress of the illness was gradual but eventual. Throat began to hurt, a symptom of the onset of fever. Few hours later at night(during the general elections results), I was shivering yet body temperature soared. I wasn't angry that I was ill. My logic was that since during the semester I haven't fallen sick so its high time I have this fever to further boost my immunity. And so, the illness progressed. Oh and I blame the weather for the sudden onset of fever. Its hot and dry weather here. I was thankful that it rained today to cool the heat. The most frightening thing about being ill was the discovery of blood in phlegm. Asked my mother if I should be concerned. She shrugged it off like as if it was normal. I for one was alarmed. But alhamdullilah until now nothing serious has happened(yet). I haven't been eating any medicine so basically I'm banking on my antibodies and white blood cells to fight the viruses and bacteria in my blood. Yes, I actually don't like eating medicine. Because their effectiveness vary from person to person yet they are given based on estimates and probabilities of whether they'll work effectively on an individual. If an illness can be treated naturally so let it be. If worse comes to worse, I'll swallow a few pills to make my illness go away.
I'm feeling better today but the nagging cough and scratchy throat won't bug off. And I'm irritable this way. Because I can't get any sleep. I'll be woken up by my own cough and sudden need to go use the washroom because of the relentless flow of water I've been drinking.
Current Health Status:
Nagging dog-like cough
Phlegm-filled throat
Tight feeling in chest
Shortness of breath
But still ALIVE
~Salam~
