Which sucks, because this darned disease made me miss one very important thing. The class chalet! I wonder how it went...
Anyway, I'm feeling all better now. Just having a slight irritation in my throat, but other than that, I'm feeling good. The fever's passed, though i'm not sure if it's because of the Panadol I'm taking. And the resulting body aches are gone too.
But I'm still a confirmed H1N1 case. whoopdedoo.
I shall tell you how they tested for the virus.
First, Ms Doctor puts on a pair of goggles. Then, she takes out a sample tube thingy. It's filled with blood-colored liquid. Next, she opens up a sterile container and takes out one really long cotton bud thing. Afterwards, she takes that long cotton bud thing and STICKS IT UP YOUR NOSE. She pokes and digs around for a bit, causing your eyes to involuntarily close and tear up. Finally, she is done extracting your snot and you're good to go. Snot sample is then sent to the hospital for testing.
voila!
I'd like to emphasise the length of the cotton bud, because it is really long. And it goes right up your nose, touching places you never knew you had.
How interesting this sounds, right?
Anyway, because of my virus and potential contagious-ness, I will miss out on so many wonderful things this week.
1. The movie-date with Trice, Gitta and possibly Ariel. D:
2. The school's open house. That would've been fun.
3. The last lesson of Catechism. This one's only a possible miss, all depends on if I'm still contagious or not.
4. (already missed) The class chalet and BBQ.
How tragic.
Everytime I have so much lined up for me, BANG, and I get sick.
Funny thing is, even if it is H1N1 this time, I still got the same old medication that I always get with every other sickness.
Just goes to show how sneaky H1N1 is. So my advice to all ya sick-feeling people out there. Google the symptoms for H1N1 the moment you're sick, specially when it's worse than you've ever been. If your symptoms match, go see a doctor. Might save you a lot of pain.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand you get to enjoy the thrill of having a long cotton bud stuck up your nose.
