I'm wondering how I got it. It's a toss up between chicken pox and its shingles variant (being the same virus); but whatever it is, I'm sick of being sleepy/asleep the whole day. I think I've been awake only 7 hours the past day or so. Oh well.
I can't really recall if I've had the pox before, but the symptoms seem more consistent with shingles - It's painful, it's itchy, and I'm feeling like a bag of rags.
The trip to the doctor's was pretty interesting, We had each other laughing within 30 seconds of entering (but I won't say why). At the end of it, he told me his diagnosis (he thinks it's shingles), then prescribed some really expensive pills ($94!!) and off I went. After starting the course of pain-altering pills, all I can remember of Tuesday was brief moments of consciousness followed by some blurry impression of food. I'm better today, mostly because I'm staying clear of the pain-altering pills to finish some office work.
Angela's been very nice, offering to cook for me and trying that chocolate melt cake recipe we've been thinking of trying. That's over and above the stuff My mum's been stuffing my face with, as mums tend to. I'm undoubtedly pampered, but I really wish I weren't in this state. Got to heal faster!
Well, at least now, if I don't make it to blog as often, you'll know why. Toodles!
