Lost 3kg...
Good news and bad news... Good news is that I've lost 3kg in 2 weeks!... and the bad news is that... I lost weight 'coz of dengue fever.. Me, my brother and my dad.. all three down with dengue at the same time.. *frownz*
I was down with dengue fever from 11 September all the way till 21 September... but even now, I'm still having the after effects of it. It all started on 11 September (such a coincidence that I should fall sick on the same day as the Sept 11 attacks). I was at work and it was raining that day. But all of a sudden during my recess break at 10am, I felt cold.. terribly cold. I took my temperature and it was 38.5.
When I was in class, I couldn't do anything, couldn't even stand... so I just gave instructions to my class and let them do their art on their own. I monitored my temperature and by the time it was 11.30am, I was 39degrees hot! And as I shivered (even with a shawl and the fans in the class were at their minimum), I decided, that's it, I couldn't stand it anymore. So I requested relief and took time-off from work. And on 13 Sept when I went to the doc for the second time, I took a blood test. And it was my first time taking one!

And it was a slooooww process! The doc took blood from my hand and all the way she was saying, "The blood's coming out real slow." I think it took 5 minutes for her to collect my blood sample. Argh! Two days later, the blood test confirmed that I had dengue, and I had to take two more blood tests to monitor my platelets count. *shudder*T
The whole ordeal was horrible. So now, eventhough I managed to lose some weight, given a choice, I wouldn't want to go through it again. My appetite just came back a few days ago, but even so, I still can't eat much. And worse, the fasting month's started, and I've missed a number of days! *sighz*
Anyway, I'm just glad that I'm on the road to recovery now. So to all my friends, beware of the Aedes mosquito! Dengue's horrible!
