Feeling frail

Sickness and poor health have been making me feel vulnerable. Perhaps I may need to learn to accept that my state of health won't be as good as it used to be? Perhaps I need to review my current lifestyle in hope to nurse my health back?

I decided to miss music theory class last evening as I was feeling very nauseous. The discomfort prompted me to see a doctor and the doctor told me that I have a badly inflamed throat. Perhaps it was a good choice that I had missed the class. I was feeling drowsy and weak most of last evening (and today). In the later part of last evening, I threw up much of my lunch, dinner and the medication that I had taken. At that kind of state, I suppose I won't be able to assimilate much if I had attended the music theory class last evening.

I tried to take as much of rest at home for the whole of today. It has helped to rest the throat a bit, but I found myself unable to get a restful rest as there were drillings from the unit above. Hopefully, I can get some better rest tonight. I doubt the renovation works from the unit above would go on at night.

I am feeling a little bleak. Life feels bitter for now. Perhaps the bitter taste of the medicine that is still lurking on my taste-buds makes me feel so. But I shall remind myself that all these might be temporary. At least, this is what I hope.

Sickness can be too much to bear.

Wishing all, health.

Hi SA: Thanks for your wishes. I do miss the music theory class. But it wasn't a miserable feeling to have missed it. It is more a sense of slight lost. Anyway, I reckon that the body was trying to remind me to rest yesterday by sending so much messages of discomfort.

Hi Misti: Thanks for the offer. Let me think over it first. I don't have good experience seeing ENT doctor.

I was on medical leave yesterday. Today isn't my working Saturday. Today's weather's worse than yesterday, and I think I shall stay indoors. Too weak to walk about much.

i understand. seeing another specialist is always traumatic, especially when the previous ones did not work quite well.
try praying? ask God to help. ask the Angels. or even some Saints that you might know. they can intercede. or ask God direct. nothing to lose eh? :)

really hope you get well soon Peiyun, you've been unwell for so long. Take care of yourself, K?

Misti: Let me consider.

Shaun: Thanks for the wishes. The doctor said my condition is 'weather dependent'. I hope to get well soon to catch the SB2006 despite the haze. I haven't been to the Tanglin Camp as yet.
