Terribly sick...
Last Wednesday
Having bummed around for so long, I decided to start doing some serious work. So, I went to school last wednesday. All was well until around 5 plus, I started feeling a small headache. Later the night, the headache grew into a humongous brain earthquake. Hubby made me hot tea, didn't help. By 1 am, I thought I was going to die. Then he flipped through the book on the coffee table "What to Expect when You're Expecting", a book that I read when I couldn't sleep. Using the advice given , he tried to put a hot towel on my forehead. That somehow made me feel a little more comfy, but it didn't take the pain away. After a while, I threw up. Vomitted the tea and I think-the-after-dinner-fruits, and felt a lot, lot better. Not wanting to take any medication, coz I wasn't sure if I could take, hubby planted 2 medicated plasters on my forehead. The cooling effect helped me to sleep. Thankfully, I was fine the next morning.
That was the only time I vomitted, other than the "evening sickness" that I get.
This Monday
Monday came, and I decided to go to school again. That was the biggest mistake I have made. I think the air in the HOD Room was bad. Because it's the school hols, the windows and door (facing the outside, not the office) were kept shut throughout. So, despite the air-con being switched on, the air inside was totally stale. I worked at my desk for 2 to 3 hours and felt sick. Quickly left and went home, but little did I realize that the start of my agony had just begun.
Developed a fever that very night. Temperature was at 38.2. Worried sick. Since my gynae said that panadol was safe, I took 2 tablets and did feel better. But soon the fever returned and at around 4am, I took another 2 tablets. This time I sponged myself to keep my body cool. A but upset with hubby for being negligent towards me. He was playing on his computer and that made me very upset with him. Later he realised that I was unhappy and came to help put iced towel on my head. Slowly I slept.
Tuesday
Fever returned. Whole day it hovered at 37.7. I decided not to take anymore panadol. Started diarrhoea. Saw the GP downstairs and he gave me charcoal pills. Took them, but the entire night, from 1.30am to 9am, I went to the toilet for diarrhoea non-stop. Only managed to sleep from 9am to 12pm. Woke up and rushed to the toilet again. It was terrible, terrible.
Wednesday
Called gynae for help. He prescribed a medicine called smecta and hubby went to pharmacy to get. It helped. The diarrhoea stopped. My fever also went down to 37.4.
Thursday
Felt ok. Fever was gone but I was very weak. Stools were still watery but had improved. I stopped the medication.
Friday
Today wasn't very good. The diarrhoea seemed to have come back, although it wasn't as acute as the last time. Had the runs 5 times today and as I am typing right now, my stomach feels funny still. Had taken another dose of smecta but it didn't help much. Tried to see my gynae but the evening clinic wasn't open. Tomorrow I will go early in the morning.
I hope baby will be okay.

Lion City Cup
Guess what? Went to Toa Payoh Stadium today to catch a football match (of the above cup) between Singapore and Brunei for the Under 16s. I'm not the football crazy kind, never was, but thought that I shall be nice and accompanied my die-hard-soccer-fan-husband to see the match. One of his students is a player in the Singapore team, so we went there to support. I was surprised to see a crowd at the spectators stand. We also spotted Fandi Ahmad among the spectators.
The mood there was quite lukewarm, but whenever Singapore attacked, the fever would go up a little and you can sense some excitement. Singapore attacked many times but just didn't manage to ram the ball in. Finally, towards the end of the first half, the captain (number 17, I forgot his name) scored the first goal. Then, as if catching on to the "winning wind', he scored another goal during the 2 minutes of extra time. The first half ended at 2-nil.
During the break, half the stadium emptied (such was the support Singaporeans gave the youngsters). I thought that they went out to get some drinks but it turned out that these people never returned. My husband turned to look at me, and seeing the question mark in his eyes, I said we'd stay for the second half.
The players in yellow jersey were comparatively smaller in size, with our red lions towering above them. However, their advantage was that they were fast and nimble. Our players, although taller, did not run as fast as them. Nevermind about speed. Football is about skills right? The lions kept their form and scored a third goal. I smsed Kumari telling her that I was at Toa Payoh (since she stayed in the area) and told her the score. She replied a few minutes later. By then it was 4-nil. Just as I was composing my reply to her, the Singapore team scored a fifth goal! It was a really triumphant victory. Spectators cheered.
I'm not a football person, but today, I did enjoy the game. Well done, kids! Keep it up!
