tonsilitis, go away!!!!!
It's been almost a month since i last updated my blog.. Well, i was too BUSY fighting against my illness.. No time for friends, no time for shopping, no time for anything.. Yeah, one fine day, i wake up having extreme pain at my ear and feel my throat a little sore..
Still go ahead to work on a am shift and headed to the doctor after work.. Doctor diagnosed me as having TONSILITIS! Oh shit! When i heard it, i was like "tonsilitis?" hais.. This time sure will suffer.. It was worse than what you can think.. Having to suffer a pain 1000times worse than a sore throat.. I
didnt noe how i made it through actually.. It was a totally nightmare. Having to see 5times doctor, each time getting from bad to worse. And having to take mc yet unable to sleep throughout the night...
so bad luck.. It happened just few days before i'm on my first night shift in the ward.. Having to keep quiet and go to work despite having fever and shivering from my head to my toes. it was HELL throughout my 3days of night duty.. But i made it through but each time making my condition worse.. 2 swollen lymph nodes at the neck and 3 at the back of my head.. Extreme pain till i couldnt even lie down supine..
Having to wake up every hour to drink water to keep my throat wet and waking up to pee in the night.. Rubbing medicated oil like spraying perfume and not even able to swallow a mouth of rice.. Everyday taking soft diet, but not even able to have more than 2mouthful.. Even swallowing saliva was a torture for me.. Having to sleep with my mouth open, i knew i am suffering from obstructive sleep apnea.. Not being able to breathe properly as my tonsils are extremely swollen till it only leaves a tiny airway for the oxygen to get in.. Getting up in the night sweating and having a hard time getting back to sleep..
This goes on for 3whole weeks.. Not being able to sleep, not being able to eat.. And having 3 antibiotic changed.. Taking medicine like taking candies was my daily activities of living... Vomiting, having gastric pain, extreme headache, cracked lips are the side effects i bear after having to take the medication given..I panic.. I really do.. I set the whole family in tense situation.. Everyone worrying about me.. I really dont know how i managed to go to work.
But i made it through.. Now slightly better, can at least finish more than half share of my food and feels just like having a sore throat..but, i know.. It will come back.. Will be seeing a ENT specialist on the 4th of august and hopes it dont come back cause there will be a high chance i will be operated on.. Oh well, everyone in my family is against the idea of having to go through GA and be operated on.. Well, we shall see how bad it goes..
Just finished my 2nd round of night shift.. Will be doing night duty again.. Sianx.. But i get to rest more:) people, these are my updates recently:)
