Awful!

That's how I'm feeling since Sunday morning. It is Wednesday noon now, so that means I have been feeling lousy for more than 3 days now.

It all started with a bad case of diarrhea. Then, I started having chest pain which leads to achenes on my arms and neck. Suspecting the worse, I dragged Aja to ER @ SJMC (now known as Sime Darby Med Ctr I think...) or should I say, Aja helped drag me, since I was very weak by that time.

The moment I told the nurse re. my pain (chest pain, sore arms etc) she quickly put me on a wheelchair and pushed me to the 'rhesus room'. Now, I have no idea what 'rhesus room' is for but they had beds and lots of machines there. She passed me to another intern who quickly put me on the ECG machines. The good news was that I did not have a heart attack! But, what then was wrong with me? In came this Singh doctor (I didn't get to know his name unfortunately). He made some jokes about my ECG results... tried to scare me about it initially. Then he asked me a few questions about my condition and family history and ordered a blood test. Not finding anything wrong with me, other than a very rapid heartbeat and irregular breathing, he wanted to ward me for observation. Hehe, he must have seen my face then, because he quickly asked how many kids I left at home. LOL, he is such a smart guy and funny too... When I said three girls under 8 yrs old, he told me that he will let me go home with some meds and if I agree to be jabbed at my behind with some muscle relaxing med. (At this time, we more or less believe that I was experiencing a minor swelling of my chest muscles) I got jabbed, Aja took the prescriptions and we said our goodbye to the nice doctor and his helpful assistants.

But, alas, my maladies did not go away. I was so weak the next day, I just couldn't do much at home other than sit or lie down. Even to walk a short distance to the toilet takes too much of my energy which I didn't have in the first place. Tuesday was also the same. I did manage to drive to work but only to sit for an hour before I realize that I have to go home and lie down again.

Today, Wednesday, my diarrhea came back. I feel weak again but I am pushing myself to go to work. Maybe if I can keep my mind busy, I won't notice the pain or discomfort. Also, I just can't lie down in bed or stay at home anymore. .

Got my meds, got my 100Plus... I'm on the road to recovery (I hope, Insya Allah)
