What a week I must say. Over the weekend, my son and I was down with fever only to find out later that we've been diagnosed with HFMD. Yes, it's going around now and it doesn't only attack children but in some cases adult. Another challenge that ALLAH has given me. Funny how my daughter and hubby is not effected. I have no idea where we got it from. When I checked out their pre-school, so far there's no cases. So yeah..It's in the air. That's what the doctor said.
I managed to see my lung specialist for my every 2 months medical check up. I have to postpone my oncologist appointment for this Friday to next week. I'm not taking any risk exposing this virus to cancer patients even though by then I should be fine and recovered. It takes 3-7 days to recover. One thing I can tell you.....it's painful. For an adult to go through this and feeling the pain...just imagine a child going through it. The sore throat, the itch, the blisters on your palms and feet...you can't walk properly or even grip your fork and spoons.
Or you can imagine this:
You just got your self a brand new shoes that you bought in BATA (Hehehe..I don't do branded shoes so can't think of a name). So you wear it for the first time. Then you get blisters near the heels or the front toes etc. You don't have a choice but to walk in that for the next 5 hours. It's painful isn't? Well, that's how the pain feels on your palms and feet/sole? You have to wash your hands often but it's also painful when the water hits the blisters. So what do you do? Bear with it. There's no medication for it. It will go away. It's more worrying to the children than the adult.
So there....life goes on. Quarantined for another few more days before I get to go out again. My kids will be banned from pre school till next week even though only my son has it. But still, we need some precaution besides my daughter still have that nasty cough.
The news this week hasn't been good either. There is still war in Middle East where children, woman, men dies everyday being killed and bombed by the Israelis. I'm not going to say how stupid it is because it's beyond that already.
In our country, we read the news about a son who killed his mother because of drug overdose. Then, the shocking news on an actor/producer/TV host who passed away of heart attack. It is ALL a reminder to us that ALLAH is MIGHTY great. It will happen whether you are ready or not. Some do get warning signs and some don't. Al-Fatihah.
Have a good week ahead people.
