Battle of the Year

For the past 2 weeks after our trip, I was busy... getting sick :(

On Mon morning (in KL) when I woke up, I felt extreme dryness in the throat but I was greedy, ordered many deep fried dim sum items for tea time before heading to KLIA. Almost instantly after eating, I had sore throat. Then at the airport / on the flight, I felt feverish. Upon reaching Spore, I confirmed I'd fever as I felt cold. Tue (May Day) was spent mostly in bed, attempting to recuperate. I felt ok when slept on Tue night. Then in the middle of my sleep, I felt really unwell & went to A&E at 4am, to know that my temperature hit 39.4°C & according to the MO, I got throat infection. I was given 3 days medical leave Wed-Fri.

The week before our trip, I got infected by one of my dear colleagues. His virus was really powerful (1 hit 3! those around him!). I'd mild fever & a bit of runny nose then. In a week's time, praise God that I recovered more than 80% & was ready for the trip. And I got no one to blame for the relapse but myself. All the heaty food + boozing... I've really learnt a lesson about self-discipline...

So I thought I could go back to work on Fri but nope, I felt weak & cough started to develop too. And for the past 1 week, I've been coughing badly... & at the end of each day, I'd feel so breathless that all I wanted to do is to zzz... In fact am still coughing now :(((
Now it's hubby's turn to fall sick. Poor him... been trying to nurse me back to good health for the past month but he's been surrounded by viruses at home & in office. Mum hasn't been feeling too good lately as well. Because of me being sick, the annual tomb-sweeping was postponed & Mother's Day celebration.

Just hope that all of us in the family will get well soon .....
