still the sick me

i went to the doctor the previous night; actually it was never my intention to visit a doctor despite what i've mentioned in my previous post. i kept on thinking that the sore throat would go away soon and bring all its friends along. normally, it always goes away very fast even without any visit to the doctor or taking any medication; just a couple tablets of vitamin C + panadol would ease the discomfort away. this time i thought no exception.

but after work, cl told me that he wanted to see the doctor. he's down with cough and since he could make use of my medical benefit meant for dependant, why not take advantage of it?

so there we went hand in hand to the same doctor. i went into the consultation room first. told the doctor that i've been having sore throat & blocked nose and it irritates me a lot when i couldn't breathe properly especially at nite. he checked my tongue and told me it was just a mild sore throat, nothing to be worried about. then he checked my nose with a torch light. he exclaimed 'wow! so congested!' i was taken aback by what he said, congested? did he mean that i didn't clean my nose properly and it's full of nose shit that he couldn't see what's inside??? oh my god! so embarassing! he added, 'your nose is swollen inside'. ahhh...swollen, that's why it's congested. phew! i have a swollen nose, how weird! luckily it's only swollen inside, not visible outside.

the doctor then took my body temperature. i had slight fever. hmm...i didn't feel that i was having fever. i mean you could feel it right if you have fever. but nothing of that sort. he asked me if i needed a medical leave the next day. surely i grabbed at the opportunity. i didn't ask for it, he's the one who asked me if i wanted it. *grinning from ear to ear*

so there i was, having a good day rest at home yesterday. i slept till 12 noon, it was the most soundly sleep i had since ages. after waking up and did some house chores & had lunch, i went back to sleep for another 2 hours till 6pm, waking up just in time for dinner.

life is a bliss if only i could just sit at home resting until i deliver...*day-dreaming again*
