Chapter 365: Last post of the year

During work on thursday, I was down with diarrhoea.. and it just gets worse... in the end, it's akin to urinating through my butt...  All water coming out -.- And of course, after much diarrhoea-ing (if such a word exists), I got much and much weaker.. Thanks to my friends who took care of me, especially Choo. Terence then bought us drinks from the canteen, I got sports water in an attempt to rehydrate and build back the salts lost by my body. And also thanks to Yaoxiang for his water from his water bottle, although he seems quite afraid of foreign saliva ...

After work, I have to thank (self-proclaimed) Santa Tan, Desmond and Shijie for bringing me home via cab together (in case I faint). We waited awhile before we got a cab. Nevertheless, I reached home at around 6.30pm. I pressed the doorbell and my mum answered to it. My face was extremely pale at that time (according to my mum.) We then left to see the clinic nearby. The wait was rather long, excruciating pain... to my stomach. (or intestine rather.)

The doctor diagnosed me with diarrhoea, fever and urinal tract infection. So, he prescribed me with the relevant medicine and I went home with a 70 dollars bill and much medicine. I have to live with nothing but bread and water. Seems like I am living in extreme poverty. Poor me, poor thing.

There was this rehydration salt which is meant to be mixed with water, it tastes awesome, I wish I can have another cup haha (Touch wood.)

Diarrhoea was bad for me throughout the whole night... maybe because of the 5 chicken wings I ate the day before? Maybe because of the lunch with curry? or the lunch with curry piled up with the chicken wings? Or maybe the antibiotic-induced diarrhoea? Or all of the above? I don't know. It was just bad. I had the runs once every 15 mins (according to my sister...)

So, I had to forgo the antibiotics and hope my urinal tract infection heals by itself.. come on body, come on white blood cells... kill the bacteria by yourself... The antibiotics will kill healthy bacteria in the intestine as well (according to an internet source.), causing diarrhoea since antibiotics cannot recognise good and bad bacteria. They are just born to kill all bacteria.

I was also down with fever as mentioned... but that isn't serious.. just felt cold at times.. and my temp wasn't high, thankfully. The worse one was diarrhoea, which carried out until wee hours before they start to die down... if not my parents were planning to send me to the hospital if I continue my diarrhoea-ing ways.

By the next night, the recovery was almost perfect already. Diarrhoea came in longer-intervals, fever gone, urine no longer feel like it's burning me.
By Saturday, all is fine. I transformed my diarrhoea to constipation.. And I still managed to go for my driving lessons.

Anyways, this is the last post of the year. The next chapter will come next year. Meanwhile, it is countdown 2013 time! See you next year!
