Just saw my doctor earlier and am scheduled for ultrasound tomorrow at 7AM for my tummy ache if they can’t find anything on there I’d be scheduled for endoscopy next. Huhuhuhu, what an unpleasant month this has been no I take that back it has been a hellish 6 months for me since June of this year … Can’t wait for 2010.

I went home yesterday around 7AM because I can no longer take the pain on my tummy and I was puking all over the floor. So I went home and crawled up in bed but to no avail, I’ve taken several meds but they didn’t work. So around 3PM I asked one of my close friends to come over and take me to the hospital so off we went to Chong Hua, it was rather surprising how I still manage to walk straight up but the process of filling out the papers and the wait for the meds to be given to me was just plain excruciating. The doctor asked twice if I really don’t want to go and admit myself. I said NO, he asked if maybe we should have the meds via IV as its faster that way but I said no, I’d rather take them orally. So I did and the effect was I dunno … took forever. So much for a “happy” birthday.

ADVISED FOR ADMISSION to the hospital. That’s what my doctor said but being the stubborn brat that I am I said NO WAY. But truth be told, I don’t want to be admitted because I have no one to look after me, am a one man machine you know. If I’m gonna be admitted no one’s gonna run errands for me like buying the prescription from the doctor or processing the papers, no one’s gonna do that for me. So NO WAY am I gonna go admit myself.
What pissed me off were the stupid questions someone from work asked.
Me: I left my med cert in the office earlier today, do I have to call in every day am absent.
Person on the other line: Okay and Yes, I’m afraid you’d have to. What’s wrong with you again?
Me: [didn't you just read my med cert? It's on your f^ck!ng table] Asthma attacks again.
Person on the other line: Are you still having that condition?
Me: [*sigh* dum dum] Yes
Person on the other line: Can’t you come on in today?
Me: [bloody hell! you sure are stupid, aren't you???!!!] No, I can’t.
Person on the other line: Oh I see….. blah blah blah blah
For someone I thought rather decent and cute this person sure sounded stupid earlier. It was clearly stated, Doctor’s Recommendation: ADVISED FOR ADMISSION. Now you reader, if you read the doctor’s recommendation, would you still ask that person if he/she can come on in to work????!!!!


I am typing this at home when am supposedly at the office already taking calls and doing my job but instead am stuck at home facing my PC waiting ever patiently for the drug to kick in. Asthma attacks are increasingly becoming very familiar and tiresome. My alarm has been set at 12 midnight to give me enough time to prepare for work and not be late for my 1:30AM shift but today like those days where I had what I call an episode I was awakened by the drowning feeling and was gasping for air at 11PM … an hour earlier than scheduled.
The meds still hasn’t kicked in and am forced to call the office stating my condition and how unwell I am *sigh* my asthma is accompanied by a sharp pain on my back, I’ll be forced to take some kind of pain reliever to make this go away. Though I’ve come to terms that I’ll prolly be living my life alone but being sick and alone at the same time is just not good … not good at all.

When I started gaining weight I was frantic coz am scared of having to buy new jeans I don’t seem to fit in them anymore. But right now am slowing losing weight not that am on a diet but because I’ve been sick on and off. My asthma attacks are becoming erratic and what used to a be a monthly episode now happens to just occur any day of the week. I remembered mom saying that I shouldn’t worry about gaining weight because eventually I’d lose them, no one in the family is big. I mean literally she has been thin all her life and so is everyone in the family. You see being asthmatic is in our family tree and that I’ll lose whatever fat I have.
Quite true actually I was big during my teenage years and as I grow older I seem to be trimming down. Eventually. I was absent again from work earlier … another case of asthma *sigh*.

Moi: Is there vgh (voluntary go home) for TR (my LOB)?
DM: not for you yet
Moi: lol
That was the chat I’ve had with the DM on duty, he’s so used to me asking VGH everyday it became a habit for him to say none for you yet … I usually ask around 7AM and they’re usually granted around 8AM or 8:30AM, my shift ends at 10:30AM. So I was on VGH at around 8:30AM and headed straight to the lounge to sleep. I’ve been feeling wonky since Sunday, runny nose, cough, off and on fever and asthma. The nurse is so used to seeing me go to the clinic to use the nebulizer that we became fast friends lol.
I slept in the lounge from 8:30 AM to 1PM *sigh* and when I woke up I went straight to Biopath and to see the quack. She advised me to go on rest for 3 days as I had what she called viral infection, it’d be better if I stay at home.
Good luck to me and to my pay.

I am so sick … I’ve been sneezing my nose off since 1:30AM till now and its close to 6PM my time and it’s still attacking full force. I’ve taken several meds already and so far none seemed to work. Crap!!!
And I have work later plus my class and a nagging migraine. Hope I get well soon.

Around 3:30 AM earlier my tummy was hurting so bad I complained about it to my seatmate. When Momie Tyneen arrived she asked if she could take over my station during my lunch and I told her about the tummy pain, she went to the clinic and asked for meds on my behalf. During lunch I went to the pantry to eat and took the meds. But the pain didn’t subside
Around 5AM when am suppose to go back and start taking calls I started puking, my team lead sent me home.
Kathy accompanied me to Jobee to have breakfast and got home at around 6AM. I was asleep from 6 AM all the way to 6 PM. The pain is still here but it’s manageable. Good thing it’s already my rest day tomorrow. *sigh*

When I woke up to prepare for work Tuesday evening, I had a gut feeling I’d be sick the next day. Well I was and still am sick, colds … grrr. Its that feeling of being so stuffed that talking and breathing is difficult and when your throat is so parched you had to drink water every now and then. The entire shift I was miserable … Doi accompanied me to the quack, we waited for like 30 minutes and I fell asleep on my seat. The quack who took a look at me said my sinusitis has gone from bad to worst and that its complicating with my asthma. What the??!!! Is there any cure to this? He said … no that’s inherent in your body system. All you can do is rest, take these meds and avoid being stressed out. lol As if I can help it.
So I was absent from school and work … am not sure what’ll happen since I didn’t call in. My sleep was deep and peaceful I don’t fee like talking to anybody telling them am sick. Oh well … we’ll see.
