sick

I am sick, not feeling well, having terrible cough that turned into a more terrying ashtma. I may not look paper thin and definitely not size zero but I have a very frail health. Major disappointment.

I went to the hospital yesterday and was being scolded by the doctor: “What took you so long to come here?”. (calling the nurse) “Give her oxygen and nebulizer.” Huh?

I had difficulty breathing but still went to work for two days because I just joined the company and didn’t want to be absent this early. Wrong and stupid decision.

So, I had the whole afternoon today in bed and the whole day tomorrow. I hope the meds kick in so I’ll be back on my feet asap.

P.S. — the asthma medication I am taking is giving me minor slight tremors and feelings of nervousness, the common side effect of Salbutamol (sigh)

Happy Valentines oi, kalooy pud- naa sad diay ka asthma grace? Ako- after a sinusitis bout, if i don’t take antihistamines- this would graduate to a bad bout of cough. I don’t take salbutamol because like you, i also have tremors- and experience nervousness…

Anyways, i hope you will get well very soon… Just stay away from the scorching heat of the sun- or i think it must be stress- related (with the new place and job).
