Infection Hits Me Again

I was chilling cold last Saturday afternoon which I mistook for the effect of the super cold weather we’ve been experiencing lately. I thought of bathing it away with a cold shower. What followed next after the cold shower was chillier moments matched with very high fever. I took paracetamol but the fever wouldn’t subside. The chill would be gone for a while but would be back again and again even with paracetamols. Until the early morning of Sunday when hubby could see that I am really battling with the chill. He drove me to the ER of National Kidney and Transplant Institute. I was confined and went through a lot of laboratory tests. The diagnosis: Complicated Urinary Tract Infection. No ordinary infection indeed, coz shivers and fever persisted even with the four IV bottles of antibiotics emptied in my vein. I got better though with the fifth until I was totally free of chills on Tuesday. My doctor required a 24 hour fever free period before I could be discharged. I was allowed to go home only on the noon of Wednesday.

I have missed my blogging so much that as soon as I arrived home I took my laptop and attempted to return the visits of blogger friends. But after only doing one, I felt dizzy and needed to rest. I’ve wasted a couple of very precious, once in a blue moon opps for me. Sigh! I just hope the advertiser won’t take that against me. Anyway, I’m back and kickin’. I miss you all, my blogger friends!
