Sick for five days straight

Have been sick from Friday up till now.

stuck cooped up at home during the first few days of my holiday, what a nightmare.

Went to the clinic on Friday.

The doctor told me that feeling light-headed and dizzy was a result of my fever.

He then prescribed me with a antibiotic that i had severe side effects to.

So I went back to ask him to change the prescription.

Granted, he didn't know because I didn't tell him.

I forgot!
I took that anti-biotic the last time and had severe nausea and diarrhea.

I stopped taking it, and also forgot to note down the name of the drug.

Forgetful me!
So, I paid the price by waiting for the doctor to come back from his lunch break.

And I was freezing cold but I didn't bring a jacket. win.

So i got my meds re-prescribed,

and i went to collect them. So many of them.

Reached home around 2plus, took my meds and slept for an hour.

Only slept an hour cos I had to go to school!

Even though it was the last day of school, I had a presentation that I couldn't miss!

My History Of Film :(
So I went.

I love my class, all of them asked me if I was okay.

Although of course I did look sick, being pale and all that.

Went for MMR cos Ms Lum tweeted that she missed me! Awwwwww :P

So I presented for CDF (Certificate of Digital Film) for my History of Film module.

Then I went to the GenEd Forum that was being held at MLT 8.

By invitation only, heh, and being one of the top two MMR teams, we were invited.

And my dad urged me to go too, as there was Nicole Seah from the NSP speaking there.

So I went. I was curious!
But I missed her speech cos I was presenting. It started at 5.15 and we ended at 5.45.

Sigh.

So I stayed till 6.45 till I really couldn't take it, I was trembling in the LT.

I went home and slept with my contacts in for more than 12 hours.

I totally forgot to remove them!

I've been wearing contacts since I was 13, and I'm 18 (soon) now.

5 years, and I've never forgotten to remove them.

This is a testament to how sick I was! :O

So I had a fever for the first day,

and 40degree fever for the next 3 days, AFTER taking that infernal doctor's medication.

Which made me feel like vomiting the whole time.

But I resisted vomiting my meds cos then what's the point of taking them? :)

When Monday arrived and I still wasn't well, I was pissed.

I told my mom that.

She asked if I wanted to go see another doctor,

and I agreed.

I honestly felt on the brink of death.

It hurt like hell to swallow.

I have large tonsils, and this makes me prone to infections.

So I usually have tonsillitis.

This time round, it was far too long for my usual bout.

So I went to see another doctor for a second opinion.

By the time I went to see the second doctor, it was Monday night as I missed the previous consultation hour by 15 mins ._.

But man, this doctor is GOOD.

He was my family doctor (more on that next time, this is already a very wordy post :O)

And he diagnosed my condition right on the spot.

Turns, out, I had pus on my tonsils.

I know, right. PUS. ew.

He gave me anti-biotics, and medicine to reduce the swelling! (which the ass of a doc previously didn't prescribe ._.) and meds for my runny nose and phlegm. And lozenges that I'd actually suck on.

Essentially, I got better in a day after this doctor gave me the meds.

I am alive and blogging about this, instead of lying in a hospital bed.

His anti-biotic worked, the pus is (almost gone)

One more dose to go and its all gone!
YAY *happy dance*

Had work today, gawd, i hate the sales period.

That's all I'm gonna say on the subject :)

Going to do photography for nEbO for YES 2011 at NUS tomorrow,

and my class BBQ on sat! :)
I'm really looking forward to that!
I wanted to stay over but they planned another friend's birthday on the same day ._.

So I'm gonna have to leave early. :(
But I'll go early to make up for it!

Alright, time for bed!
And kudos to you if you've made it this far down my super long and wordy post!

Xoxo,
Kayleen (who's recovering!)
