Dengue....

Just when i thought i had gotten away. Reality yanks me back in. Sigh, latest victim to dengue=me! Yes, i was down with fever, then again, i often fall sick so this was nothing new. Yes, i was shivering and my head felt like Hiroshima, then again, i was used to this. Then came the verdict i feared the most, i had DENGUE!! It all started on a Friday evening like any other. Well, except for the fact that i was shivering eventhough the fan was at speed 2 and i was under my blanket!! I made my way down from block N and dragged myself to Shiva's room in block K. I needed that sweater!! Desperately!! Soon everyone was up and i was made to sleep with the help of 2 Panadols. According to them, i was burning up and fast! I woke up around 2 hours later at 11. I was soaking wet with sweat. Good news though, fever was gone!. Or so i thought....Couldn't find it in me to get up, so i slept off in Ruban's room. I woke up around 9, and my head was swirling. You know that out-of-body experience people talk so often about, sure felt like i was having one at that time!! Shaun, my saviour came in next thing i knew, i was on my way back home with Ruban. Spent the next 8 days in hospital. I did go for a blood test on the very 1st day, it said, no dengue!! Took the doctor 4 days to figure out that it was in fact, dengue..I'm back home now though. Hand still sore from the drip. Curse you hot nurse!!!...Just wanna thank everyone who was there for me...i'll see whoever i see in college esok!!...
