Day 3 @ Work

Dear 2017,

Since the first day of the year, I have been waking up with a sore throat and a slight flu symptom. Nothing major, just a few sneeze now and then, runny nose and feeling my body heated up higher than my usual body temperature. No biggie. Work was about to start and I know I will just endure through the week without the need to see the doctor. I know I was not on my usual best but pushed myself to head to work, endured the day and prepared the necessary ahead of time. At the end of the day, I swallowed 2 tablets of Panadol and prayed that tomorrow will be better. 

Day 3 of work today, I woke up with my body feeling really weak. I was sneezing non-stop and my temperature spiked up. How I wish at that point of time, I was in the clinic and wish I was about to see the doctor to get the much needed medications. Gosh I felt weak. So much for a wonderful start huh?

I finally gathered enough strength to see the doctor this morning. I forgo the idea of heading to polyclinic which is my usual destination whenever I was sick. I could not handle the waiting time there today. All my body wants to do is just collapse in bed and recover back to health. Turns out this clinic near my neighbourhood was also crowded. Everyone there looked pale and sick and there was hardly any seats. 

So after waiting for a good 45 minutes, I got my medications. The friendly fatherly doctor prescribed me antibiotics and the much needed flu medication. I cannot wait to be in the pink of health again *achhooooo*

To a healthier 2017, I hope!
