8 days passed
Today is officially the 8th day that I have remained ill. Not that I am proud of it, but rather I am getting a little impatient at my rate of healing.
My illness started off from a sore throat last Friday night and by Saturday, it developed into a full-blown sickness, with giddiness, fever and a severely blocked nose as the norms. I also vomitted on Saturday..how cool is that? Obviously not...
Sunday and Monday were the worst days as it just felt as though my head was going to explode. My body conceded...yet I pressed on with the faith that I will be healed.
I went to see the doctor and was diagnosed with having a viral infection that would take at least 10 days to recover. So this leaves me with 2 more days to recover (ok, this is stupid to actually count down...).
One thing i learnt abt aussie doctors is that they cant sell medicine. You have to purchase your own medication from a pharmacist. In my doctor's own words "the pharmacies here are a monopolist". to those who do economics, you get what i mean..to those who do not know what a monopolist is, look at Microsoft...you will then get the gist of it...
However, I have been truly blessed in these 8 days. Friends around me have been supportive and encouraging, showing their concern towards me. Xylia even took the effort to cook chrysanthemum tea for me! so touched...haha! But ya...am indeed encouraged by the bonds of friendship.
oh wells, just praying that I will recover ASAP!!! haha!
to my dear readers, do take care!
