Hot Experience

No. It's not about some spicy food, Hot Yoga or some hot date.

It's Fever.

*

It's been following me for more than a week since I came back from Kota Kinabalu.

*

Initially, the doctor suspected Food Poisoning. Well, I am a vegetarian. Not that easy to get poisoned, right? We thought really hard and our conclusion was that I must have been "poisoned" by the very cheap but very good Avocado Drink at a eating place outside the resort. As shown in the picture, I was really hesitant about drinking this thick juice. Maybe I had premonition then (who knows!?). The place did not appear very clean to me. But then, we are really guessing, only.

Anyway, back to the fever. For the past one week, I have been having fever on and off. Hovering between 37 to 38 deg. I have visited the doctor three times! I even stayed at home for the last two days to really fully rest in the hope to recover.

*

This morning, I woke up feeling quite fine. Happily put on my working clothes and came to the office. But when I stepped into my room, the fever started again, although my body no longer aches when the fever starts.

*

The last diagnosis by a second doctor had changed from Food Poisoning to Bacteria in my Stomach. I have been given a full course of anti-biotics. I just took one in the morning after bread and coffee at my work desk. One last one to take tonight to finish the course.

*

Although the fever still comes and goes, it's very much less painful than in the beginning when my whole body would ache and stomach would cramp. Hopefully, with the last tablet to take tonight, this hot experience would be over. I have never had fever for so long in my life!!

(The fact that the fever came the minute I stepped into my office made me wonder if I should be taking anti-biotics against work and not some bacteria?! :-) )
