It really do suck to fall sick, esp when u're miles away from home.
but thank god i've got a bunch of great great wonderful friends w me who made me feel so much better i feel like crying already.
Yday i've got the worst 感冒 ever in my whole life. within seconds my body went feverish,muscles were aching VERY badly, and head was in throbbing pain. I tot i would be fine after drinking some herbal tea and a nap but when i woke up from my nap,my temp just went higher and my muscles were aching even badly.
Missed sch, and jinju and meiyun were the 1st of all to make me feel touched. I din tell my housemates i was feeling sick in case i worry them, and i feel quite paisei already that im always falling sick:< anw jinju called and msged me like a gazillion time to want to come up to cook lunch for me knowing no one isat home. But i really dun feel like eating and i din wanna pass any flu to her. but by noon, my pain was aching so bad i kept crying so i called xf. He made me feel a lil better but i was still in pain.the pain was really intense, i could feel it aching into my bones..luckily (and thank god) my saviour yufei came home at noon and was trying really hard to save me.
She helped me 捏脊 and massaged my back(oh but which left bruises on my back now..haha) plus giving up her only packet left of herbal tea and 葛根汤. actually it was the sight of her which made me feel better. I think when u r sick, all u need is a company, someone who cares,knowing that things would not go wrong w them around. yar, she made my homesickness better. den at 3, chengs came home early from sch too. Savious no.2:> and i get another session of 捏脊 and massage, plus more TLC. haha. so every half hr, they'll take turns to check up on me, top up my water, check my temperature etc. But my fever still din go down, in fact it went higher to 39. I knew something was really wrong when my temp din go down despite drinking 3 packets of herbal tea, 2 sachets of panadol flu, 3 panadol tablets..blah blah. normally i would have recovered after drinking one packet of herbal tea and a nap. So when i woke up at 8pm, i was really worried coz my head was frying.Chin ee msged to ask me quickly go down to the clinic to see a doc before my cough comes. yar, when i was thinkin bout whether to see a doc, junling appeared at my doorsteps. And i dunno why ,i started tearing at the sight of her. i think she really does give me the feeling of a family. and i was very touched to see her because she is sick herself, having the same flu. she looked at me and said that the symptoms are exactly the same so most likely its the very potent virus flu thats infecting lots of pple in the hospital. And we all suspect it was H1N1.
anw, she had hardly recover, coz she was coughing vv badly and i could see that he looked as weak as me..yar she told me that she came coz she knew i would be homesick and she just wanted to make things better for me.. seriously. seriously. what can i say?i mean having a friend like her despite her own illness, despite the possibility of getting infected again, she still braved the cold to send me medicine..
anw, i drank the chinese medicine and puke everything out later in the night. but i felt better after puking everything out coz my temp dropped amazingly. Even chengs was amazed coz she check up on me 1 hr after i puke(poor ger had to clean up after me-and i think she spent the last hr cleaning up the toilet:<)i was suddenly free from pain and my temp went down to 36. Initally i was still worried that it might be 回光返照。hahaha, seriously, i really though i was dying can. b4 my temp dropped, my body was aching to a point that except my hair, no where else wasnt painful.
yar, but now im feeling so so much better, excpet for a lil headache and backache(partly from the massage)..
yea, i just wanted to say how much these pple meant to me. Without them, i think i could have really died yday from home sickness and the pain. i'm really really grateful to them. thanks pals. thanks for making life in bj so wonderful.
and thanks xf for always, always being there for me.
