Part III

30 Jan

Felt nauseous just from watering the plants.
Went back for another blood test.
Got poked thrice cos my small veins didn't yield any blood. I really wanted to die each time the needle went in.
Both my arms are blue- black from 5 blood tests in 10 days.
Abit breathless just climbing up the escalator.
Bought back Soup Spoon for lunch- the creamy mushroom one and my usual Simon Garfunkel.
Weird thing is, I never had the mushroom one before but managed to drink some. As for the usual Simon Garfunkel... I felt like throwing up upon tasting the rosemary in the soup. Kua Kua..
Taste buds still non existent.
Light headed.
Diarrhea.
Constantly hungry, but I can't eat much without feeling nauseous.
Very bored, and I keep googling about dengue fever. I am probably an expert now. Ask me!
I keep thinking of lasagna.

31 Jan

Doc called about the blood test and went.. "ok, it's confirmed you have dengue", before he realized he got the wrong person.
He's forgiven as he said I need to rest and said he would extend my mc till Monday. Hehe.
Anyway he said my blood count was back to normal, 259,000. And told me to "go to the market and buy a big chicken and boil soup, you need nourishment". Okaaaay.
My taste buds are almost back to normal. Woohoo!
I keep thinking of food, so much so that I started to read ladyironchef's food blog. And no, the fever didn't burn my brains.
So bored I have started to whatsapp and disturb my friends. Lol.
Kept disturbing Peanut.
Got 2 mozzie bites this afternoon.
Facebook and blog-stalking the whole day.
I have been watching all the crappy ch8 movies from 7pm -1am for last few days (!)
My tongue still has a white coating. Weird.
Feeling much better.
I keep thinking of potatoes.
I want to eat potatoes.
I really wanna eat potatoes ok.

Dengue Casualty: The Basil at TK

Basil plants are rather delicate and I doubt it can be saved. Moreover, I am still gonna be at tampines. The rest of the plants, with the exception of the bamboo, are quite hardy.
