being sick

whenever i catch a cold in france
it will take me at least a week to recover
it seems the virus is more powerful here!
so when i started to have a fou and cough for a week
i didnt think much about it.


suddenly Thursday night I developed high fever
and it kept staying high
despite the panadols I was popping
on Friday evening, husband brought me to the doc
and he commented that its a flu virus
I was given some medication


despite the medication, I didn't feel better
fever was still around
and I started vomitting from coughing
I even started to vomit my medications
since the doc mentioned that the fever will go up and down
I just stayed in the bed for the weekend
I even vomitted blood!


on Monday, husband decided to take off to care for me at home
I became worse with high fever
and decided to call for an ambulance
after I was vomitting 4x in 30min


the ambulance came in 45m
and we waited in the a n e for about 2 hours
as I was having 40deg fever
the nurse gave some soluble panadols to bring down my fever


finally, I got to see the Dr
and he thinks is a flu virus but put me on a drip
while sending me to blood test and xray
after 2hrs, doc informed that I had lungs infection
I was allows to return home
the antibiotic worked and I felt really well next day on


since I was not supposed to fly with lung infection
we went to a doc to check whether I was fit to fly
and was happy that I was good to go
is scary how we almost didn't make it again for the flight
I think this is the worst illness I had in france
I hope I will stay healthy for 2016...
