Food poisoning
Been out of commission for the last couple of days. It all began on Wednesday afternoon at about 3 pm. Was in the office and started to feel all achy and sore and started to feel really cold, cold to the point that I was shivering. Managed to last out the rest of the work day and then headed on home. By the time I got home I was running a fever and feeling weak. Decided not to eat anything and took some meds to get rid of the fever. Bundled myself up, turned the fan on low and got under the quilt. Started to sweat after a while and didn't feel so warm but the pesky thermometer said I was still running a fever. Still felt a bit ill and my stomach was kind of bloated and sore. Pretty much just laid in bed watching tv and drinking water.
At about 11 pm, I had a little "face to face" session with the toilet bowl. Shalt go into detail but I sure did feel a lot better after that little session. Tried to get to sleep early but still had an uncomfortable feeling and low and behold I had another "face to face" session at about 1 am. Felt way better after that, tummy was no longer bloated or sore. Now all I had was the dumb fever and the aches and pains from the 2 sessions.
I'm still trying to figure out what it was that made me sick cos all I had on Wednesday was a cup of tea in the morning, and then for lunch it was a coke, 2 muffins (one chocolate, one chocolate chip) and a can of soya bean. I'm thinking it was either the muffins or the soya bean. Will never know.
Woke up the next day at about 7 am and was totally beat so I had no choice but to call my boss up at home (good thing I had the number on my cellphone cos he'd switched his cell off) and asked for urgent leave. I explained that I had mild food poisoning. He said it was ok though I could sense that he kind of needed me to be in the office. Told him if he really needed me to come in then I would. He said it was alright and that I should rest. Spent the whole day pretty much lying in bed, drinking water, napping here and there, watching tv, and being bugged by my mom. Got a message from my boss in the afternoon saying that we needed to finish a report by Saturday so I would need to go into the office today. Made sure I went to bed early last night and felt tons better in the morning though not 100%.
Before you ask, no I did not go to the docs but that was only cos the nearest company docs is like 20 mins away (right by my sis' house) and I'd have to take 2 buses to get there...not a wise idea in my weakened state. Much preferred to stay home and rest.
Haven't really eaten much over the last two days. Had a couple of slices of toast and a bit of rice and veg yesterday, and managed to have a bowl of vegetable soup today but the rest of the time all I've had is liquids. Have to go back into the office again early tomorrow to finish the report. Was in there from 9 am till 2 pm and we still have half of the report to finish
. So much for enjoying my long weekend.
Will have to try and get to sleep early again today given that my boss wants to start at 8 am which means I have to leave the house by 7 am
Well I'm off to vegetate in front of the tv...hehehe one of my fave Taiwan guys is gonna be on later...gonna drool over him hahahaha...Wang Shaowei, wo ai ni....hahaha like a teenage schoolgirl.
