This thing got me into NUH for 10 days straight...the first 5 days of which were a blur coz I was damn cold, could hardly eat, was barely conscious with splitting headaches whenever I moved.

Thank got I got discharged last friday 29/09/2006. With a bill of $5000. Lucky the army is paying for it...

Its damn scary when you think about how hospitals charge. Not that they do it on purpose, but it's the nature of it. While you are being diagnosed, u all you hear is ' you need an x-ray, then xx test and yy test' without the cost. Then when you get discharged, you see that an x-ray costs $800...xx test $450...yy test $788...and that you did multiple tests...and that's when you acutally have to get re-admitted into the hospital for shock.

Not like you can do anything different when they give you quotes for their services anyway...most important - life hmm? Save it first..then worry about paying later.

I was lucky that I managed to stay in the 'A' class ward (personal room with air-con and tv). I was there at the beginning coz I had to be under observation. After day 5 though, it was coz there was no more space in the 'B' wards. So I was stuck with a better ward for the price of something cheaper. Muahaha.

Had a few cool afternoon walks around NUH. It was during once of those walks where I met an old friend (lynette!). Haha caught up with her a bit then had to shoo her back to work. Afraid coz I was sick, she wanted to escort me back but I was already pretty fine then.
Thx babe! Not that I didn't want your company, comeon lar u were working. Guai k.

Well, now that I am out, recovering at home (MC), without the meds, I still feel very light headed, with my senses dulled and my body being weak. Real weak. Think I have to start training for my 2.4 all over again. Think at this stage my timing would probably be ard 15 mins tops. Heh, what 2 weeks of sickness can do to you huh.

Anybody got tips on how to feel better faster do drop me a msg k! The boredem and lathargy is killing me..
