Sickness
Had a high fever last night, felt so weak that I couldn’t even seem to move my body. Posted a status update on FB regarding my sickness and had an overwhelming replies of caring messages. I’m thankful for friends and family who cared about me. It’s interesting how sickness makes me numb to the happenings […]

Feeling (Much) Better
Fever had gone, but still don’t have much appetite for food. Went out for a wonton noodle for lunch, but almost couldn’t finish the small meal. Thought hard about what to have for dinner and I suddenly craved for Campbell soup, my convenient comfort food. Just when I was about to leave home to shop […]

Feeling (Slightly) Better
Stomach felt less uneasy, head less dizzy, and slightly gaining appetite. I couldn’t stuff in any food other than congee, thankful that my mother made a big bowl of it before leaving for China for Ching Ming Festival. Still having a light fever, hope I’ll get better and be strong enough to leave home and […]

Sick
Stomach have been feeling bloated and queasy all day, thinking it may have to do with the ‘pineapple cake’ I had for breakfast. I was also feeling tired all day despite a decent sleep last night. And now I’m feeling dizzy and sometimes cold and sometimes hot. There’s also a light fever… Hope I can […]

Fever
Feeling cold despite wearing enough clothing, plus sore throat, muscle pain, and a body temperature of 100+ degrees, guess I’ve finally been defeated by sickness after a long marathon of healthy days… Time to take some medicine, take a hot shower, brush up, and huddle myself under the blanket and sleep.

Mom’s Hearing Problem II
Father took Mom to the hospital today for her scheduled MRI scan. The report will be out tomorrow, hope it won’t be anything serious. Meanwhile, mom’s staying in the hospital overnight. For someone who’s extremely fearsome of sickness and death, I pray that God would give my mother extraordinary peace and a restful sleep tonight.

Mom’s Hearing Problem
My father took my mom to the hospital this afternoon, she had been complaining about the loss of hearing and occasional ‘ringing’ sound. It turned out, for reasons yet to know, one of her ears may have permanently loss 90% of hearing! I was unusually calm. Not a word uttered from my mouth as I […]

Sickness (Part II)
My sickness continued. It’s very minor, just prolonged. Felt weak and vulnerable, an unexpectedly good feeling. I am reminded of one time when I got seriously sick when I was living by myself in Toronto. Death didn’t feel too far from me then, I was half-conscious and struggled immensely in my mind saying to myself […]
