[food poisoning]

It has been a rough week.

Day 0 (wed)
Poor me had lormee on Wed for lunch and in the lormee were some meat which had gone bad (they had a weird taste) but I swallowed them too fast. End result: food poisoning. The poison did not take effect immediately. I even went for my hair cut appointment in Kallang. My stomach began to feel unwell while I was in the salon I think but got worse when I was going home which was ard 8+pm. When I got home, I immediately went to to toilet to release. It was all watery stools, like some soup, everything just came out like a gush of water.

Feeling queasy, I knew something is not right since something similar happened 3 years back. I had no appetite whatsoever,even my mum had prepared dark soy sauce pork for dinner. So I had nothing that night so I was feeling weak after having runs to the toilet several times. I took some of the old diarrhea medicine I had, it did help a little.

Day 1 (thurs)
The next day I went to see a doctor. After waiting for almost an hour, it was my turn. I was given 4 types of pills. The doctor said it is not food poisoning but stomach flu. Stomach flu is caused by rotavirus. Anyway to me it is the same cos rotavirus can be found in unclean food. Shit continued to be free flowing like soup. I had totally no appetite and no energy to eat. All I had was 1 cup of milo, half a slice of cake.

Day 2 (fri)
I felt a little better but stomach was bloated and alot of gas. Still weak nevertheless, anyway I went back o the clinic to get more med and extend one more day of MC. In the afternoon, I felt a little better and I even ate a little rice for lunch. But still not much of an appetite later on in the evening. Was feeling super cold in the night ard 9+, I was shivering! I had to wear a jacket and 2 t-shirts inside! Had a very disturbing dream which lasted for dunno how many hours and had me woken up in sweat. The dream was like some big RPG game. After I woke up ard 1+am, I was online for awhile before I went back to slp again. I was in a half asleep,half dreaming awake state.

Day 3 (sat)
Woke up with very aching limbs which felt as if they just went for a 10hrs gym session. Only had milo and oat cereals for the entire day and i did not even feel hungry.

Day 4(sun)
Limbs still aching in the morning, appetite returned.

During these 4 days of being ill, i did not just sleep only. I also realised quite a bit of things. I have learnt to appreciate people who really care from the bottom of my heart, I have learnt to see things or see people not just from their appearances, I have learnt not to be taken in so easily from a person's facade. I have also learnt that health still matters most, be it mental or physical health. I have learnt to take things easy cos alot of things cannot be done my way esp on matters of the heart.

I hope I can keep all these in mind.
