chicken pox

CHICKEN POX.......
At this age of 39 , I am infected with chicken pox!!!!!!! I am surprised. I got cold fever for 3 days before the blisters actually showed themselves.

My hubby got infected when he was in Form 4 so, he's already familiar with it. Friends thought that it was because of my diabetics and I myself thought that I was too exhausted travelling last week. So many wild thoughts and the caused turned themselves up only after 3 days. My body aches suggested that I might be pregnant, said one of my friends. Oucch, can't be, I said. Am having my period.

These past few days I had been complaining to hubby of not having enough quality time together, so he suggested that I was thinking too much it affected me physically.So, early next day, I showed up at the Outpatient Department and was ' gifted ' 3 days medical certificate.

To tell the truth, the symptoms were much more painful than the infection itself. My body aching everywhere and it really is a big problem to sleep that I have to take pain killer and paracetamol for my cold fever. I have to mention it as cold fever because it make me shivers. At work, I actually went to the store to keep out of the cold. Lying uncomfortably on the floor. I didn't want to inform my friends, because I usually ended explaining this and that. I'd rather get a good and quiet rest.

The biggest matter is how to protect my little daughter from this infection. Soon, I was explaining the disease to her and drawed borders between us. This means she has a distance limit towards me. Oh, I hope she'll be protected.

The blisters is now all over my face and upper body parts. Dr. Ita provided me with anti-viral which I should swallow every 4 hours. 4 tablets/4 hours. Now my body is not aching but the blisters gives a very itchy sense. I already cut my nails and am really having the biggest task in my life and that is ------- preventing myself from scratching!!!!!!!!!!!!

My face looks like a toad's skin! Very well. I will give you more details later on. I should rest. Today hubby takes my place accompanying my daughter to her piano class.
