septic

Been sick the last few days. It was horrible...

Tmax 39.7, chills & rigors, thunderclap headache, myalgias, arthralgias, awfully painful throat..
And with differential diagnoses of 'meningitis', 'breakbone fever aka dengue','septicaemia', 'subarachnoid hemorrhage','esophageal cancer' raging through fried brains, it was pure agony.

Stayed home, bedbound for 2 days, chugging on ciprofloxacin the wonder drug..Not too great a start for SIP..

So i returned to the hosp today with 50% attendance so far, and some houseman making snide remarks about me being a slacker. Thank goodness for understanding MOs, registrars & consultants.

Anyz, some verbs/nouns/adjectives i don't want to be associated with
sepsis
septicaemia
staph
strep
sorethroat
sick
sian
did i say sick
Argh.

i really shouldn't whine but it was awful.. almost forgot how it felt..It's only after times like this that you realise how important health is. Really. think i'm going to need a good rest!

Anyz before i go, here's some photos from last week..

Dinner @ Lei Garden, Chjimes with joline, mark, sabrina, lydia
