Finally...it's the end of the worst week ever. It all started as an innocent cough on Monday, then upgraded to full blown sorethroat + hacking all day on Tuesday. Then I noticed that I started to feel hot, and as expected got fever on Tuesday night. By Wednesday morning, I was feeling awful and stayed in bed. Then on Wednesday night, I developed a cold..but the worst part was that the gunk wouldn't go out my nose...I had to spit it out after hacking it through my throat. Yucks, right. Oh yeah..all this while I haven't had a thing to eat and was pretty weak. By this point, what with not eating + the fever, by the time I got to the kitchen and back to the room I felt like collapsing. Thursday, missed classes again, but managed to find strength to go to UiTM clinic coz I needed the mc. Still have the meds..tried them out for one day and decided not to. The cough syrup said 'mixed fruity flavor', and then when I read the leaflet inside it, it said 'pleasantly flavored cough mixture', so I expectantly and excitedly ate it. Yeah right. It was awful. I prefer Strepsils Cough. That tasted very nice. The leaflet was probably the scariest thing I ever read. There were 2 paragraphs of 'Side Effects', including diplopia, euphoria, nervousness, insomnia & tremors. That's only some of it. Anyhow, then Friday came and I was feeling much worse. Headaches made me not want to get up, and I was pretty much weakened, so stayed in bed all day again. Tried to eat some porridge, but that night I woke up in the middle of the night and threw the whole thing up. By Saturday I was feeling better, my fever was gone, but pretty much everything else stayed. Come Sunday I managed to down some veges and fish much to my joy, and I was feeling much much better. My sorethroat was gone, my spitfest was over, and my headaches weren't so bad. Monday I went to class alright, until Housekeeping when I discovered I couldn't stand for very long. I suspect this was because I was very much undernourished by this time since I haven't eating much, just drinking lots of water, so that night we went to the cafe next to the girls' hostel and I ordered mihun goreng and ate as much as I could take. Of course couldn't finish everything. It was still a bit too much to stomach. And today I'm feeling wonderful.
By the way, in case you're wondering, yes, I have my broadband now. Yeay! This means online anytime I feel like it. Hoorah!
