Am I sick
Ok, just a few days back I thought to myself…
It’s been a while since I got my last medical certificate…must be having good immune system now.
Then I thought again, NO, I just saw a doctor last month and I had a jap in my buttocks due to allergy to some super-duper big prawns or some fern (sayur paku) I had taken during a company trip! I had never eaten sayur paku in my life, so I suspect it must be it. But the doc said it may not be right as I could be allergic to prawn heads although I had no issues with seafood before.
Man, you have no idea how suffering it was to stay in the hotel and not able to socialize. How? I am sure you don’t want to see me scratching my body all around. I felt my chest was burning and itching. And my ears were swollen like a Minnie mouse! Since I already have big ears and the allergy had caused me to look like one of the Disney characters. I couldn’t believe with what I saw from the reflection when I woke up the next morning. The rashes even gone on to my face. That was the worst look I have ever seen myself. But thank God that I didn’t have German sausage lips.
The rashes took a day and a half to fully subside.
So you think I am vain about my appearance? Wait til you have your own experience!
I dragged too far, didn’t I?
Ok Ok, I should be ok. Well I can’t afford to take any more medical leave since I had 2 weeks medical leave a few months back. It’s no big deal now. No signs of dengue fever - body rashes, vomit, giddiness, so I guess I should be fine with only slight increase of my body temperature, feeling groggy in my throat and just a few sneezes.
