Mummy Lim is Sick!

Yes, yes, Mummy Lim is sick. I am down with... chicken pox.

Strangely, I got it at 30 years old. -.o" I rem that I played rough with my bro when he was down with chicken pox and I turned out fine. I rem that I slept and shared food with my sis when she was down with chicken pox and I turned out fine too. There is nobody around me who got chicken pox, so who passed me the virus!!?? This time somemore. As a result, I have to miss D's wedding, Felicia's bday party and also Christmas! Boohoo!

I was feeling funny on Friday. I was plagued by never-felt-before tiredness. Then I felt stress and tension on my neck and I was down with fever-headache in the afternoon. I left office at 5.30pm and started developing a mild fever. The fever went away with Panadol. I suspect that I was down with chicken pox cos I saw a water-filled lump on my tummy and tot I burst one on my back and ear earlier in the day. But no new bumps appeared leh.

Fever came again in the night and I was well in the morning with the help of Mr Panadol. I decided to go to the Company's doctor and was confirmed as having chicken pox. Sianz... I was given 7 days MC and asked to return for follow-up. Strange hor. How to return with all the pox to see doctor leh? Or the doctor really expect me to recover in 7 days?

I read on the internet that adults (above 15 YO) get it worse than children. That is bcos the natural immunity to fight against the chicken pox virus is gone. There is also a higher chance to develop complications. I think the article is so right bcos I am so chicken pox filled. I have chicken pox everywhere and so many of them on my face. I think I look like somebody who had a bad acne breakout now. It makes me pity those people who constantly suffer from acne problem.

I was initially happie that I got a week's MC. Can sit around and watch my favourite Korean drama leh. But I was so wrong. I spent the 1st 2 days having fever on and off. Then, I get ugly spots all over me. I already start scratching but it is still bearable. I heard that the worse is coming. Sob!

Then Lil Shauna is home with me. -______-" My SIL hasnt gotten chicken pox too and we cannot afford to pass the virus to her. Lil Shauna has gotten one jab of chicken pox vaccination. Her lazy parents had been procrastinating and hasnt given her the booster jab. I had wanted to give her the jab this coming Saturday. Who knows I was down with chicken pox last Friday. Haiz. I just hope that she already has some immunity from the 1st jab to fight the virus. So Lil Shauna has to stay with me to prevent her from passing any virus to my SIL.

It is no fun at all to stay at home with a baby. I have been watching the most baby TV in my entire life. I can even sing the songs in the High5 show. -.o" I am so glad that my mum comes and help and bring Lil Shauna out for walks in the late morning and evening. Otherwise, we will all go crazy in this house.

Hmm.. I hope the chicken pox go away soon. I hope the crazy itchiness wun attack me. I hope Lil Shauna wun kena chicken pox. Plllleeeeeeaaasssseee..
