Chickenpox (4)

Feeling better today. At least my body stops aching. Some boils are already breaking, other are starting to dry. But it’s prickly, but I cannot scratch it because it will only leave a big scar according to those who have experienced chickenpox.

On the brighter side, I feel so lucky because I have parents who really take good care of me. My, mother who had retired recently, became my instant nurse. She was the one who bring foods for me since I was isolated in my room. My father on the other hand is my doctor. He was the one I consulted every time I notice something different on my body/health condition. They both provided me with my needs inside my isolation room. Thanks a lot tatay and mama!!!

Chicken Pox (3)

I haven’t sleep well last night, my temperature rises and my whole body was aching, like every bone of it was breaking. I cannot stand well nor sit; I have to lie down and I don’t know what will be my position because it’s aching.

I was horrified when I saw my face in the mirror. Oh God, boils were budding on my face.

I was just sleeping and lying down the whole day.

The Diagnosis

Exactly 8:00 a.m. when I reached Carmen Terminal. I still decided to join the group (it’s a seminar in a beach resort!!!! You see?) although not feeling well and a little bit worried about the boils in my body. Actually, I noticed this morning that more boils are developing on my body, but I’m conditioning my mind that it’s not chicken pox .

But I was alarmed when I saw my face on my pocket mirror. I really regret of not consulting the doctor yesterday and I do not have enough time to do so. Besides I don't want to ruin the mood of the group by saying I will just follow. Anyway the company doctor will be with us in the seminar. But I know I’m taking the risk. What if it’s chicken pox?

Good thing my companion texted me that they are leaving the office around 10:00 am, so I decided to consult our family doctor first while waiting for them.

And my prognosis was right. Dr. Lu diagnosed me with Chicken pox….

A Boil On My Body

It’s holiday today! I do not care why the President declared it as holiday. For me holiday is a great day!!! LOL….

But honestly I have to report to the office today. We have to ready our things needed for the seminar tomorrow. And I’m excited about it since it will be held in a beach resort in the Island Garden City of Samal. And it’s a five-day live-in seminar!

But my body was not cooperating with my excitement. My whole body was aching; I’m shivering although I do not have a fever. And I also noticed a bean size thin-walled boil on my body. The first thing that comes into my mind is chicken pox. But when my father inspected it he told me that it’s a “talipaso.” I’m relieved at least I can still join the seminar.
