thank god it's finally over /2:33 PM
$170.40 in total. 5 blood tests for 5 consecutive days. Running from my neighbourhood clinic to Changi General Hospital to the polyclinic. DAMN I HATE DENGUE. >.<
I had dengue fever since last Wednesday, which explains the
fluctuating temperatures I've been having for about 3 days last week. My
temperature rose from 36.7 to 38.8 and even 39.0 in a day, then all of a sudden decreased again. And it was so painful. I was aching all over, and feeling so weak for one of not-so-many times in my life. And it was so difficult to get to sleep, for the fact that I was feeling hot and cold at random intervals.
Then,
everything got better on
saturday, but all of a sudden, rashes started to appear on my hands and legs. AND IT ITCHED! I itched the whole of
saturday night. 5 WHOLE HOURS OF FLIPPING ON THE BED IN DISCOMFORT AND LOT OF ITCH, ITCH AND MORE ITCH. It was undoubtedly one of the worst experiences I had.
And yes, then
NEA started bugging me with all the details they had to find out so as to prevent the next hapless victim in our
neighbourhood from getting the dengue fever.
Agh. Why didn't they do it earlier?! I missed my geography
CTs (it was a KILLER I heard) and
japanese CTs, of which I'm not that grateful for. And besides, it wasn't really a rest. I was feeling pretty
uncomfortable most of the time. I'll rather be in school.
I was waiting so long to finally go back to school, and I'm so relieved to be back. No longer classified a patient. No longer having to go to the polyclinic for a blood test to check on my blood platelet and my white blood cell count. No longer listed as patient number 1234 or whatsoever. No longer having to hear that chime of the bell signalling it's time to enter the doctor's room. I'M SO GLAD.
The next thing I wanna do is EXTERMINATE ALL THE MOSQUITOES IN THE WORLD. Screw them. They totally disrupted my schedule and caused me to fall behind on so many things. And yes, I lost my official last Youth Day.
GARHH.
I'm just relieved it's over.
