I'm sick. Just came home from seeing Dr Tay. Apparently the anti-biotics that she prescribed on Monday are not working.

Let me explain what's wrong with me. I had a bad throat after I came back from the camp last week. It felt like the usual thing I get every year : from a sore throat, to losing my voice and then full blast into a major gummy phelgmy cough together with a fever and the works. I got the throat under control (as in, I did not lose my voice) last week but the pain got worse so I saw her (Dr. Tay) on Monday. It seems that I have always had the problem in me. The yellowish phelgm that I see every morning (when I'm healthy) is apparently not normal. It's pus, she said. Gross. So she gave me anti-biotics to kill the germs.

I was feverish yesterday. The aircon in the staffroom, plus the 4 periods (2 hours 20 minutes) of computer lessons in the air-con lab of teaching and talking did not help the fever. To top it off, I had to bring a student to MITA for a storytelling competition in the afternoon. The fever only subsided in the evening. This morning when I woke up I was feverish again. I blew my nose and there was blood.

So I'm on two days mc. Yippee.
