INFLUENZA ATTACK

It's been quite sometime now since my last flu attack. By the way, sorry for not updating my blog post it is because I got influenza for the past 3 days already and it's very uncomfortable having this kind of sickness. For the past three days I have been drag on my bed. Not to mention the headache that I am experiencing almost every minute.

I got some medicines, like biogesic, neozep and herbycin for my cough. My day is really not right for the past three days. I went to Tagum City last night hoping that everything will be alright but I was wrong. I chilled and my fever was as hot as the sun. I thought blood will be coming out from my nose because I always experience that whenever I got fever, colds and cough. This is not dengue, malaria or A(H1N1), which many fear most.

I did not seek a medical attention. I am self nurturing myself from this sickness that I am experiencing right now. My wife was very nervous last night because of my fever and I requested her to wipe vinegar solution all-over my body to get rid of the fever.

By tomorrow, I think I will be alright and back to my good condition. I will blog more often to pick up the idle days of not posting. Have a nice day.

MY HEAD IS IN PAIN RIGHT NOW

I just got home from the office and my head is aching right now. Maybe because of the hot weather that we got here in Davao City. I was doing my field work when my headache visited me again. I have this already since I was in college and until now, the pain still lingers. I never had visited the doctor for a check up and I also don't take medicines for this head problem. I remembered before when I was in my second year in college. My headache was so painful that it caused me to have fever and suddenly blood came out from my nose. I was rushed to the hospital for medical attention and the doctor said that I had to have some break from school so that I would have enough rest. That was the most painful experience that I had.

I guess I really need to take some medicines right to relieve my headache. By tomorrow, I will be doing again another field work and I just hope that I don't experience this pain again. I already took my dinner and still the pain is still here. if this pain continues, I might have another leave for tomorrow. By now, I will just sit and relax in the old chair in the living area of our house and watch television.

OPERATION SUCCESS

My cousin was operated this afternoon due to rectal swelling. The operation lasted for about a hour and a half. My cousin was given mild shot of anesthesia so that he will not feel the cutting of the swollen part. I brought some food for my aunt and a little biscuits. My cousin was still sleeping on his bed when we left the hospital. The doctor said that my cousin can be discharge from the hospital by tomorrow after the anesthesia wears out from his system.

This I know that when a patient is going to undergo an operation, he/she must not eat or drink water. Dextrose will be given to supplement the body needs. By this, the patient will not get hungry and even thirsty for water. Anesthesia worn out after couple of hours.

ABSENT IN WORK

Today I was absent from work because I have to accompany my wife to the doctor for a check up. I am very concern about her health. She has this cough and colds for several days already. She wanted me to come with her and accompany her to the doctor. Presently, she has fever and cough also. I might be absent again for tomorrow to check on her. She will be stying in the house and I have to take care of her. The doctor said that the reason whey she is sick right now because of stress. She was advised to take a leave for about 3-4 days. Total rest is very much need when you have fever, colds and cough. These things are the signs of influenza of much called FLU.

I NEEDED A SPA TREATMENT

My body is aching often this past few days. I thinking of the stress from the work and the travel. No matter what the reason is, I needed a spa massage and foot massage also. I prefer to do it at night. There is a nearby spa here that offers free sleep when you have your service in 12 am downwards. Working, we use our body. I think it would be wise to pamper our body and enjoy the services of massage spas in the areas.

MY BACK HURTS

I have been complaining about my back because it really hurts so badly. I guess the local massage spa won't do the remedy for this problem. It started like s stiff neck and until now the pain remains there. My wife told me to go to the doctor for an expert opinion. But I refused because I am afraid that there might be others more. Honestly, I really don't like going to the clinic. it is because I had some bad experiences with doctors. But in fairness to their work, I salute them. I hate needles and when I see blood, i would definitely collapse immediately.

MY NECK ACHES

This morning when I woke up, I noticed that I can no longer move my neck. My shoulders are also restricted from moving freely. I went to the office unwell and worked. My office mate told me that I should take mefenamic acid to get the pain out of my neck. I bought 2 of the medicine with 500 grams. I thought I can take it straight two. But my office mate told me that I should allow an interval of at least 6 hours apart. It is because the medicine has a high dosage. If I take the medicine, I might get deaf of even dizzy because of the effect of the drug. I did what My office mate told me. Even though I already took the medicine, the pain still remains. I even have my neck massage and found that my back-left part is swelling. If I don't see any changes tomorrow I would go for a sick leave again. For me to recuperate from this bad situation. I really looked funny this day. I would rather keep my mouth shut just to suppress the pain in my neck. I believe this is what they call stiff neck.
