Been sick

On Thur, a heavy day, I was struggling to get through my final lesson, at the last period. Feeling really unwell though I started off ok. Cough acted up really bad. 

I didn't go for cca and went back after I finished marking the test. Very last minute, very tough to get through that. That evening I saw the doc and actually got mc for the next day, a Fri. 

With meds in my system, I still headed to work with the intention to leave once I've finished the two classes I had. There were a couple more absentee scripts to mark, also had to finish keying in all their component scores and deciding on their grades. In the end, I didn't go for that class cos combined and did some activity while me and another colleague checked the grading. Once that was done, I left. Urged to leave earlier by the mgt. Left before noon and concussed in bed after lunch and meds.

Woke up to head out just for steak dinner at LeBouchons with friends. My first experience eating bone marrow from cows. Later I found thru Internet that its high in mono-non-sat fats. I had some nutrients but mainly fats. I didn't know that until after... though Tab asked me if it was fats. I ate most of it though it was a bit too much cos it was very rich n greasy. Ate with the toast, and two bread buns. K a been-there-done-that. Won't order it again unless there's people eating.

By the time my steak came, I was half-full but still ate the whole. It was still good with the horse radish condiment. After dinner, we walked towards the Esplanade. I wasn't up to staying out. Feeling weak and cannot focus, so I took a bus back once I've reached. It took a long time to come, man talk about conspiracy... 

Reached home, took meds. The next day, I was still unwell. Having bouts of headache combined with dizziness. One moment I was ok, next I just wanna be in bed. It came on and off over the weekends. Though on Sat afternoon, I headed out for colleagues' farewell lunch. Pricey... bobian.

I headed home immediately after that and zonked out. The bouts continued into Sunday. Even on Mon morning, when I woke up for work, still not well enough, I called in sick and went to see the docs again. This time there's no anti-biotics, some meds for the headache and the giddiness. Stayed home, only headed out to get doc queue number, see doc, dabao dinner. Mom went back to Msia on Monday itself. 

I went back to work and am still not fully recovered. Am still not fully mentally focused at times. Can feel the bouts still but much much less severe. With the meds, becomes a dull throb. But felt better than before. Luckily for whatever reason, my counterparts decided to change the plans for more lessons into watching a movie. It's a good idea except that watching the same movie 5 times within a space of a week is too much to bear. After watching twice, I brought work in to do. Made a ws based on the movie, wrote some notes, checked their corrections of the writing. Bleah, bored after watching twice. Sometimes like this, I'll rather have lessons though it might be taxing cos sometimes I find it a waste of time that's why I crafted the ws to relate it back to the language. 

Lessons are resuming soon.
