2012 and HFMD

It is the year 2012, so long since my last post.

A lot has changed in my life. One of them an exclusive committment to dating a guy. Relationships come and go, but this guy has persisted and stayed the longest, to say the least. I have much to say about him, all things good, but that would take a lifetime, I hope.

To make it simpler, here's a list of why the guy rocks.
-loving
-sensitive
-humourous
-kind-hearted
-sweet
-gentle
-caring
-understanding, well, sometimes
-adventerous
-exciting
-opinionated
-thinker
-doer
-creator
-interesting

And above all, he loves me, very much.

Of course, there are some cons about him. But they pale in comparison to his good qualities. He is much the keeper, and is worth so much that I could have known, or originally thought.

In truth, he is the reason why I haven't been able to go online and blog or do anything else. Simply because I have been spending most of my time with him.

In life, if you asked when is my happiest moment, well, I can say that one of them is really the day we found each other. Too sappy, huh. Well, all I can say is I hope this last a lifetime.

I have been down with HFMD. It is terrible indeed. It attacked my scalp, which spourted mushrooms of lesions as if in a flowering bed. It also suddenly gave me small tiny spots of lesions on my face, which spread around the lower face, lips, nose, and forehead. Plus, my hands started having round blister-like spots, but painless. Luckily, the lesions all died after the 3rd/4th day. Good riddence, I say!

Not to be outdone, basketball size ulcers grew at the back of my month, and goodness knows where the rest of the less painful ulcers went. But the mouth ulcers were the worst. It hurts like crazy because it was so hard to drink, swallow, eat, talk. Swallowing was an extremely hard chore. The pain was intensified each time I swallowed anything, even water. After a few days, you can feel the pressure of your ears build up, like being in an airplane. Talking was well, what? Talking? Sorry, I am officially mute the next couple of days.

I was in msia for a couple of days, and when I went back to spore for a checkup, the doctor prescribed strong painkillers, mouthwash and lozenges. Frankly, I have been withstanding the pain during the peak of the pain, so I guess, I am lucky that well, I managed to live with it fine.

I drank lots of barley while in spore, and it really helped!

One good thing did come out of the HFMD. I was 'sick' for a week and a half, and woot! Free from work! But of course, I had to work from home then, else my world will collaspe when I'm back.

It is also very very very boring, at home.
