ER! Food Poisoning

After leaving my doctor's clinic and I suddenly had an asthma attack. When we got home I strangely had a tummy issue, vomitted thrice and had high fever by evening.

The boys had me do an e-consult. I got hold of a doctor by ten in the evening. I was advised to go to the emergency room.

We originally thought I just had regular food poisoning. After a chest x-ray I was told I probably had pneumonia. We were surprised since I wasn't coughing and my breathing was okay.

My primary doctors had me confined. It takes an average of 7 to 8 hours when you go to the ER before you're brought to the room. It's gruesome, but I just thought that I got lucky for having food poisoning. It saved me from having really bad pneumonia. 

It's been 48 hours now since I went to the ER. I've just been sleeping a lot and getting the medication I need. The doctors are still investigating what got me.

Discharged!

24 Days to 50

My day started with a vampire at 4:30 in the morning. It was followed by a sharp shooter at 5, then the nurse soon followed for meds and hydration. Food arrived at 6, then the nurse came again for more meds. 

And just when I thought I could doze off, one of my doctors came at 7 looking really fresh. I was in a very odd position in bed when he came because I was having a hard time getting up. Good thing he's still a fellow and full of good humor. 

You literally get round the clock care when you're confined. It's really tiring especially when you have to go around the hospital for tests. I was so tired I didn't have energy to eat. We just wanted to finish everything so we can go home.

Highlight of the day was a surprise visit from our dear friend, Migs. Thanks Migs for squeezing in some time in your busy schedule! Maybe we can have a meet up when Koyah Drew is around. Just give me 6 months to be well enough :)

Home sweet home!

27D to 50: Ugh, Still Confined

I'm still confined. Doctors still doing some tests. I've now stayed longer than when I had COVID-19. Oh well, just have to trust my doctors.

Highlight of my day was going to the radiology department for an x-ray. It was the first time I managed to go out of my room. Supervised, of course.

In between tests, I've just been sleeping. I think I was so stressed during the course of the 3 typhoons. I worried a lot  and that's partly what got me down. Resting helped immensely, so hope I'll be discharged soon!

29D to 50: Tired and Tests

Spent most the the day asleep. I was exhausted from getting woken up by doctor visits (started at 5:48am). I probably did not make a lot of sense when they talked to me. 

Highlight of the day was eating some spaghetti (half). I love their Pinoy style spaghetti and might order it again tomorrow. Hahaha.

Hope to be discharged soon!
