Temperature last night : 39.3deg
Heard from Joce that Wayne went to see a GP at a hospital and that he was under observation for H1n1. Scary much? What if Kiji had it? What if Sherlyn got it too? What if ALL of us got it?
Woke up this morning at 6 to wake mom up for work/classes. First thing she asks is if she still needs to give me $20 to go see a doctor. Then she tells me that I should go there early or I'm gonna get stuck with the queue. Then I realized I couldn't really go anywhere because my head was spinning and I was scared I'd collapse halfway walking to the Doc's.
Went back to sleep after I saw her out, and a couple of hours later.. Anna calls. And then she tells me that she's right the fuck outside my front door. Haha. Surprise, surprise, huh? I was definitely not prepared for anything. My hair was bed hair, I haven't showered, and my house was in a mess.
Wait a sec, my house is always IN a mess.
Reluctantly invited her in.. despite the state of everything. Newspapers were everywhere, my mom's corner was a crazy pile of junk, the place lacked space, Aladdin carpets, hell... even a proper sofa.
I felt like a fucking sick awkward turtle. She told me to hurry up and go change though. I knew what was next...
She took me to see the doc. Because she knew I wouldn't go. Yeah, I'm an ass like that.
Bill amounted to 32 - 35 dollars. Crazy huh? I know. That's why I never like visiting doctors unless if I really need an MC.
After the visit to the docs, was a visit to the supermarket. Yeah, we walked. She kept whining. And I'm supposed to be the sick one. Haha. She was supposed to get "beans" for Clare's mom... NOT.
Baked beans, bread, milk, vitagen, OJ, porridge packets, KOOL fever packs, fruits, canned food, bottle of Ribena...
Everything would've amounted to about a hundred bucks.
Then she came by my place, cooked porridge, cleaned up after me and fed my sick ass. Then made sure I took my medication before sponging me with FUCKING icy water.
It was torture. The heat from her hands felt so much better than that godforsaken towel. And swallowing is a bitch of a torture too. Cold liquid, water, porridge.. it felt like I was swallowing pins and needles down my throat. God. And it doesn't help when my left side of the head hurts like a bitch. And my eye, too. It feels like someone punched me in the eye.
ANYWAY!
Then we caught a little Iron Man.. a little OC.. and she left after making sure everything was done.
I can't express how bad I feel to make her go through all that trouble. It's worse than guilt. It's horrible. You would expect your parents to do this for you.. not your best friend, not your close friend, not even a blood brother/sister.
Still, she did it anyway!
So here's a huge thank you to Lyn for spilling the beans on me, and an even bigger thank you to Anna for doing EVERYTHING for me. Thanks for knowing me so well guys. I'm glad you people know that the word 'stubborn' falls in one of my middle names. Besides awesome, of course.
Haha. Off to bed now.. here's hoping I wake up feeling like Superman.
