Update

Hola uols!

I've been unwell...kena denggi. One Fri i rasa dah semacam. Dari pagi i mun mun and bey bey but i still had to go to the office because it was MG's birthday and the cake was to be delivered to my office (bila ditanya sedap ke mille crepes tu, MG boleh kata, yes it's different but biasa je rasanya...Sampai hati tau, menyampah tau jantan2 yang tak tau nak menipu utk ambik hati ni. Menipu tang lain pandai pulak).  By lunch time i felt so awful that ada kawan buat makan2 tapi i tidur je. I drove home at 4pm...i didn't know how i managed to get home, bawak kereta gelong2. Bila sampai rumah, i was too weak to even insert the house key into the lock let alone carry my handbag from the car. Rasa sejuk semacam but badan panas. Called MG up at the office...'you jangan balik lambat sangat..i think i kena denggi ni..'. Haa..tak 'lambat' la MG balik hari tu..just after 8pm. Tsk tsk tsk..The next day terus pi sepital. I didn't want to experience the fever at home macam MG ritu..seksa!

My friend said it must be karma...MG dapat denggi, then i pulak dapat. Dulu MG batu karang, a few months later, i followed suit. Must not gelak dalam hati tengok MG dalam kesakitan lain kali.

Anyway, i told MG before, kalau i demam, i nak masuk sepital pemandangan KeyLCC, nothing less. Haaa kau, dapat pun! My platelets dipped down no further than 180 which was OK. But fever was high, between 39-40 celcius for a few days. The kids and the dad came every evening...tengah elok2 kita halfway through dinner and when they came, the kids would polish off my dinner. Everytime! Malam2 lapar tau! Sib baik Esah yg squat tido kat sepital belikan i mee mamak lah.......Dok enam hari kat sepital but no one said i've lost weight unlike MG (nyampah tau!). Ye lah..cemana nak lose weight, kan? Dah la dormant je pastu makan berselera. Masa MG ritu, dia tak berselera saja..cakap makan sepital tak sedap. The only grouse i had was, setiap kali i menanda menu yg nak utk esok, mesti ada yg di alter, marked not suitable. OK, i can take it bila sapa2 tuh tanda soft diet...but low fat?? Ceh! I came to the hospital and obesity was not my chief complaint! Just imagine my first breakfast..i was looking forward to my poached eggs with runny yolk...accompanied by baked beans and toast. Potong2 the eggs...aik? Mana yolknya???! Uwaaaaaa! Tensi!

On the 5th day when the fever has subsided, i told the dr, 'i'm going home tomorrow'. The dr said..'well...err..we have to wait until your platelets stabilise'. I went on and on how i will self-discharge otherwise and the fact that most people with dengue recuperate at home. So, he can be nice and discharge me secara terhormat, or else...Pastu ada hati nak dischargekan petang..ceh! I said pagi, before Friday prayers..either that or kena tunggu sampai malam bila MG habih kerja. Tak kuasa i nak dok sehari lagi..don't get me wrong..the hospital and its services were first class but i was missing home badly.  

Well, masa kat sepital..some friends came to visit whilst some friends yg kononnya asyik berwassap dgn you dlm chat group, didn't. Sudah2la i menyiksa diri exposing myself to chit chats yg so not my wavelength kan...i had to endure dari pagi sampai malam for more than 2 years. OK la..i didn't always read what they posted but the fact that message masuk tak kira waktu tu really annoyed me at times. So, i did what i've wanted to do for a long time. No, i didn't exit the group..i took the chicken-way out of totally deleting the whatsapp from my mobile. Sorry Esah, Piah...bila dah reda, i akan download balik. At this moment, ada yg masih lagi menghantar i messages, not realising that i'm no more on whatsapp..pastu heran napa i tak berbunyi langsung. I mean, kalau kononnya they are friends yg rapat and asyik sikit2 nak wassap..nak makan wassap, tido wassap..masuk toilet pun nak bagitau! Pastu bila i terdampar kat sepital ada bunyi2 nak datang jenguk? Haraammmm!

Then there was the Hope and Help charity walk the day after i was discharged from the hospital. Adakah i berjalan dgn kasut merah i? Kasut tu adalah pelaburan utk tunjuk2 saja. I was on my bum the whole time..but i sort of park kan Little D and Baby X dengan kengkawan dan nah, pi lah korang berjalan 3km tu. Which they did in about 40 mins, impressed jugak maknya. I met other bloggers there..Hai Tijah! Sorry i macam zombi je haritu..masih tak berapa nak mood sangat lagi..Of course ada a few others yg i segan nak tegur. Main tunjuk2 kat Esah je. All in all, i thought the turn out was quite good..sesapa yg last minute tak datang tu, it's OK, duit uols dah masuk kan..hihihiii..

I'm still on MC until the end of the week. Kaki still lenguh so takdelah i mengukur jalan. Dok rumah je kerjanya. Thank god ambik anak dari sekolah pun tak payah since paknya continue carrying out his duty. When MG was discharged from the hospital, i couldn't understand why dia asyik tido je..pastu grumpy. Now i know how weak one feels post-dengue. But i idaklah grumpy..i kan forever-the-sunshine kid gittew.

Thanks to Hernie Mostajap for sending me an email to inquire how i was. Ginilah saya..hopefully next week dah boleh masuk office because dok umah lama2 pun bosan jugak..

OK, nak pi bersiap utk check up kat sepital. Tata!
