CNY pox

Just a day before CNY long leave, I was feeling feverish and thought nothing of it because I had to finish up some work. It was a Friday so i just had to bear with the fever for 1 hour less than normal days and go visit a doctor the next day if the fever persists. On Saturday morning, I was still not feeling well so I visited to the doctor after noticing some boils on my forehead.

At the doctor's, he asked me lift my shirt and took a look at my back before confirming it was chicken pox T_T Bad timing was exactly what he said when he sat back down on his chair. I was like @(#*&%+)@$&+@#(*$+@#*&% because I was looking forward to celebrate CNY and having a long leave.

On Sunday, boils started to appear all over my face and body :( I was too weak to face the mirror to check out my condition but with my fingers, I felt around and not liking it because it reminded me of myself more than 15 years ago when I was all pimply and riddled with acne.

By the time it was CNY eve, I was still out because some of the medication given to me makes me drowsy. The boils were getting worse and worse because I'm not supposed to burst them. That made me very grumpy when the effect of the anti-itch medication wore off. I particularly hate it when I need to take a shower, those bumps felt like dirt which you cannot wash away ARGH!!!

Although now 1 week later, I am feeling much better BUT I can't help to resist the temptation of not trying to peel away things that look like scabs because those boils have subsided and "dried up". To be honest with you, the big ones are REALLY hard to peel off because unlike scabs, its not really a dry lump of blood but its a plasticine-like scab. What's worse are those places which I cannot see like in my hair, my back etc

Oh well, at least I got an extended leave and will reclaim back my leave for CNY to be used for purposes later on. It seems like the predictions for my zodiac seems to be quite true and its effect was evident to me even before the new year. This year is said to be the worst year for my zodiac :( Heads up for more not so pleasent events this year.
