Okay .. the whole house is down with flu. I'm not sure whether its common flu or viral flu...Anyways, I had enough of flu already la.. this would be my third week having flu. I've changed antibiotics 3 times .. had dozens of pills shoved into my throat but the flu is stil there. NOTE : I don't have fever .. I have runny nose for the last 3 weeks .. and cough! So I don't think I have the H1N1 thingy... getting paranoid really .. its H1N1 is spreading like hell here in Malaysia. Read the news people! Atleast no death yet for today!
Do you know how much money I wasted on medicines for the three of us?? Myself, Naureen and Ayman????!!! Nearly 1000MYR for August 2009 and its all due to the flu bug!
Dengan GP di Setiawangsa adalah ulang alik 5 kali (utk 3 orang) so congak congak .. around RM 300++ sebab doc cakap dia bagi Antibiotic yg mahal. Naureen improve lah .. tp dia masih ada batuk batuk sampai sekarang. Ayman worst case scenario .. pergi third time to GP .. he said no improvement .. go to hospital .. he wrote a referral letter. So on Tuesday (18/8/2009) I went straight to Ampang Puteri Specialist. Thats where they were born and their Paediatrician is also there. Bill charged?? RM 370++.. itu pun i told Doc .. I don't want my son to be warded! If warded .. damn kena fork out another 1K ++ daaa. Thank God for Insurances!!! So I took 1 week leave and travelled three times a day to the A&E for my son's neb. Next week on Tuesday, I have to go back to Doc Nasir and I hope AYman's health would improve. Doc said if phlegm not reducing .. warded! Me?? what about me.. yesterday evening I have probs breathing .. feel that my chest was becoming heavy.. I was having shortness of breath during the ICT Council meeting??? Today I went to see my specialist cum relatives .. Dr Mat Ripin.. huh kena lagi bil RM 270++ .. He perscribed .. seretide .. vantolin (semua ni ubat asthma!).. flu and FLUMOCIL A600 for my phlegm .. minggu depan Hari Jumaat jumpa lagi dia.
Ni nak cerita perbualan dgn Dr XXXXX lah ni pagi tadi :
I told him I was afraid if I had H1N1 or Influenza like illness as mentioned in the papers. I was wearing a mask while talking to him. The moment I said that I was having flu.. he took a step back and wore his mask *chuckle*. I explained that I don't have fever but it all started with a sore throat.. runny nose and cough. He checked my lung was clear.. all is good so he simply said if you had H1N1 .. it has come and gone ... as its already been 3 weeks. In my mind ... i was saying to myself .. ha ah ek .. kalau aku dapat H1N1 .. aku dah mati gamaknya .. sebab aku tanggung merana dgn flu ni dah 3 minggu .. sampai kepala aku naik sengal and sakit. Lepas tu told him that XXXXX byk kes Influenza like illness .. ramai student pergi clinic.. terus Dr cakap .. student U mmg ada yang dah kena H1N1. Ada warded di sini.. still here. He told me an alarming figure .. out of 10 samples they sent out for testing .. normally 8 come out positive. Tak gila ka tu? meaning its a lot.
So I have two small children.. I am working in an environment that is prone to H1N1. I am working in an international university where there is already a confirmed H1N1 case. So I have to take precautionary measures lah..
I am taking out Naureen out of kindergarden as of now ... it worries me. really .. worries me.
So as you can see .. August is the month of nightmare for me .. financially, emotionally drained and physically lembek?! boleh????
