Just 35 hours or so after my previous entry I fell even more sick, with temperature rising to 39.2 degrees Celsius and ended up with more medical leave that allowed me to stay at home for the entire week. So the whole of last week was mostly spent sleeping at home, feeling feverish, perspiring, popping pills or drinking bitter syrup. It was a terrible experience, and this time it really reminded me of the time I got the mild Bronchitis although it is just a really nasty case of upper respiratory tract infection.
It was so bad I nearly fainted in the bathroom in the middle of the night when I got out of bed to visit the toilet. I was shouting for help when my vision suddenly became faint and then went white and my entire body was numbed. It took 10 minutes or so for me to recover completely and by then I was totally soaked in perspiration.
It took 2 more days for the fever to subside and for me to stop feeling tired although I had a week-long course of anti-biotics. It’s a good chance to refresh my immune system though, I haven’t fall sick for a long time. The only bad thing is that my Mum fell a little sick after an entire week of taking care of me and it feels really bad that I have got to return to camp just when I get better and I’ve no chance to repay my Mum by helping to take care of her while it was her turn to fall sick.
