Poorly Idlan

Since Monday, Idlan had been more quiet than usual. He said, his eyeballs heard. Then he started having a temperature. Poor boy.

On Monday evening, he asked if I could drive him to Dunkin' Donut. He was craving for something sweet. Yesterday, he asked for some Lego. He got the Lego but slept before opening the box.

Temperature approaching 40C.

He woke up early this morning opening his Lego box just before I left for work. He felt a bit better but still having throat pain. I just called Anita just now, and apparently he was having a nap again. I was on call today, and hopefully it would not be too busy. I wonder what he wanted later ...

A Difficult Weekend

It had been a difficult weekend on a personal and professional level. I had been under the weather since Friday morning when I woke up with a headache and vertigo. The headache improved but not the vertigo. Took some medications and ended up being drowsy.

I then slept for about 18 hours on and off.

But the headache returned on Saturday morning. Went to sort my clinic out, but spent the whole afternoon with a patient of mine who I've been poking after for the past year.

It was tough.

I was back on call today and this morning had been hectic. Time to catch a breather and a quick lunch. Hopefully the rest of the calls would be OK. Luckily I have cancelled my clinic at Park City tomorrow morning. Therefore I could just concentrate on my admissions and my Day Care patients tomorrow.

Well, that was the idea.

The boys would also be starting school again on Tuesday. Anita would be packing this very moment, and we planned to move back to Gombak by tomorrow afternoon.

End of the holidays...‎

A Tiring Drive

I was about to turn back half way in as I felt rather drained. The heavy traffic, being stuck at the Federal Highway on a standstill did not improve matter, but I persevered. There were plenty needed doing this morning. I pressed on, and hopefully, things would go on smoothly today. Really needed to take things easy.

Taken my paracetamol but could've done with a bit of breakfast. Maybe I'd be able to do later before clinic starts.

Insomnia Myalgia

Irfan had been running a temperature since coming back from school yesterday, even though he was still active and all. And now, I might have caught the bug off him. I woke up in the middle of the night sweating away, with a banging sore throat.

Once I got up - it was around 4 in the morning I thought, I just couldn't get back to sleep. And the room just felt to warm. Half an jour later, I gave up and started surfing the net and tried again to fall asleep. Failure!

Since it was already past 5 in the morning, I gave up. So, it was now time to hot the shower and my muscles were aching. Clinic this morning, but at least I was free in the afternoon. I might pack up early and finish things off after lunch.

Now, where is the paracetamol?

Back to School

After a couple of days away, Idlan is now back at school this morning. He seemed energised and did not complain when he got up. The same cannot be said about Irfan, back to his usual whinging self. But they both went off to school.

Our maid would be away from tomorrow - being Good Friday - for the whole weekend. We were contemplating spending time at the apartment, but unfortunately, the boys had some exams coming up in a couple of week. I would also be on call on Sunday, leaving them alone at the apartment, probably bored.

At least them going to school brought some relief to us as Idlan was really toxic only a couple of nights back ….
