The episode of being sick

I am sick, big time. Was "rushed" to the Mt Alvernia hospital on Monday night (Tues wee hours) by hubby. Started with gastric attacked shortly after dinner, took some medicine and went to sleep, thinking I should be fine by morning. But woke up at 1am with high fever, so high that i felt that i was dehydrating and hubby was feeding me with ice cubes and sponging me with cold water. I started having diarrhea (take note that before I went to sleep, I already went toilet 2x), hubby suggested going to the hospital but i didn't agree. Went back to sleep... after a long sleep, tot it's morning, woke up again and found that it's only 2am. OMG! I began to wonder if I ever going to survive till morning. Again, the fever did not go down and by now i was already feeling as if i was on fire. Diarrhea again and worse, feelings of vomit and reflux was up and down the throat. This time, i gave in and went to the hospital. Doc diagnoised me with gastric and colic (if that's how you spell) Thank God we went to a private hospital and in a time span of 1hr+ I was back home, ate medicine and given 2 jabs. Slept at 4+, woke up at 7+ and didn't feel better at all, fever was still as high as ever. Dear called mom for "help" and he took leave to care for me as well. Mom came to take care of me and by then my fever was still at 38.7 degrees, as well as shivering with cold. In my mind, i was thinking why wasn't I feeling better? I tot the doc at the hospital said my fever should subside after the jabs? No choice, went to see GP again and he said I wasn't well coz doc at the hospital didn't give me lots of necessary medicine like the most impt, fever tablets! Oh man! Talking about good medical care given at private hospital! Anyway, GP gave me fever tablets, coupled with more medicine. This time, I was diagnoised with intestines viral infection and of course dehydration. Haiz... went home and ate medicine again, but the difference: I felt alot better and fever went down! Thank God for GP!

Of course after the whole episode, I has a loss of appetite and sleep and suffering from the aftermath of it. Right now, I am still resting at home and hoping that I will recover by tomorrow. Mom stayed over last night to care for me and dad came to "visit" his little princess as well. :) Thank God for parents. Dear commented that I am like a princess with everyone fussing over me. Heehee... yes got to admit that as I am always the princess at home.

With Mom's care and Dear's care and prayers, I believe that I will be well in no time. It better be! I still want to go for my vietnam and europe holidays!!! HAHA!
