Chicken Pox!!!

17th April, 2011

Couldn't believe that I could get chicken pox at such age. Thought I am already free from chicken pox but to my dismay, this whole two weeks was a suffer for me. My advice for everyone, better get it when you were young rather than having it when you are an adult.

Last night, I was started to feel different. I felt a terrible headache and backache before I went to sleep. I have an instinct that I was going to be sick soon. At first, I thought it was only normal sickness such as fever or what. But on the next day, I am starting to feel so cold and slowly I found out that there were rashes on my face. And slowly I saw blisters were grown on the rashes. Something is not right, my instinct told me that this is not ordinary fever. So I quickly verified the symptom with my mom and she told me exactly what I was having now. She advised me to see the doctor immediately.

The next day, I went to see the doctor early in the morning. The doctor has examined the blisters and confirmed that it is really chicken pox. I was so worried then because I am still having a newborn baby with me. The doctor advised me that if possible get someone to take care of the baby for me as it is quite suffering for a newborn baby to get chicken pox. But now we are still not sure whether Kelson has already gotten the virus from me or not. I was given some medication to relief the chicken pox and it costs me around RM100 for all those.

Being back home, the symptom of the chicken pox are becoming more and more serious. I am starting to have high fever. The pox are getting more and more, on my face, body, scalp and even in my mouth and ear too. I am starting to feel so suffering and couldn't even take care of my baby anymore. My hubby and mom-in-law has helped me to take care of Kelson.

This condition has continued for at least three days. I couldn't remember what I have done this three days but mostly I was sleeping, sleeping and sleeping. The pox has finally grown on my hands and legs too. But it wasn't as much as it was on my face. All the pox were so itchy and painful too. How I wish they could disappeared soon. It was still not totally dried up till now. I have to be quarantined for at least two weeks. Oh, hopefully it won't leave scars on my face.....Wanna have a look at how ugly I am with the pox? This is how it is......
