Miserable

So miserable being down with gastric flu (intestine infections) since last Wednesday till now.  I just wanna quickly recovered from it.  I still have fever fluctuating and it reaches 37.8 degree celsius just now while I was at the clinic seeing doctor.  Tummy is trapping lots of wind and feel so bloated.  So uncomfortable.  Still on light diet.  I am missing all the good food, eg. laksa yong tau foo.  Doctor said this virus is so strong that my fever shot up so high.  I hate this gastric flu.  Let me be well and fit again asap.  Need to drink isotonic so I bought 100 plus edge the non gassy type just now.

It has been a looooong time since I become so sick.  I think I need to rest properly.  Hence took 2 days of leave to rest at home.  Resting means sleeping and no work.  I need to rest, sleep, relax and not tense so that my body can recuperate to recover fast.  Stress and tense can make one tummy trap wind, according to the doctor.  In fact, the doctor advised me to relax.  She encourages me to take up Qigong.  Does anyone know where is conducting qigong classes in Singapore near Holland Village area,  If yes, please let me know. Am keen to take up.  I think should be able to do qigong despite my foot injury is on the recovery stage. Or perhaps later when my foot injury is in  much better stage.

Actually I wanna sign up for zumba class but since my foot injury. It has been shelved. Now time to take up qigong.   Gonna zzzzzzz and rest more so that I can get well soonest possible. 



My gastric flu medicines

Porridge

Since fashionably yours is down with intestine infections so I couldn't eat much. Vomited some gastric acid just now. Need to eat plain food and drink clear soup to let the intestine heal.

These shall be my meals for these few days. Plain porridge with some pickled lettuce which is my appetizer.

Just want to get well soon. This intestine infection is no joke. Very suffering. At first thinking can do some work but no, my body is telling me to rest with the gastric acid vomitted. Maybe God wants me to rest more.

Shall rest and get well soon then can work more productive. Yawn....getting some restzzzzzz and beauty sleepzzzzzz after taking my medicine



Porridge for my intestine infection recovery journey

Intestine Infection

Fashionably yours caught intestine infections.  I was so sick that I couldn't eat, loss of appetite, tummy churning lots of gas, high fever of 38 degree and had diarrhea umpteen times.  Went to see a doctor downstairs my place and prescribed with antibiotics - ciproflaxin.  It helps in a way.  However still very gassy tummy while blogging this.  The doctor told me that she saw about 20 patients before me also having about the same problems as me.  Seems like the germs is in the air and I could have caught it while seeing doctor for my right foot injury at the polyclinic.  One should always use the hand sanitizer and wear a mask at the polyclinic which I didn't.  Sigh....

So from my right foot injury and now to the intestine infection.  Poor me.  Praying for a speedy recovery.  In view of my current condition, I view being able to walk and eat is a blessing.  Don't take for granted the normal everyday activities that we are able to perform.  

So basically now my diet is to drink more fluid, such as 100 plus, clear soup and need to eat plain porridge while recovering from this intestine infection.  The doctor told me if I still have diarrhea later, I must go polyclinic to do a stool test and blood test.  I hope I don't have to do this, finger crossing.  Well right now I am still wondering is it true a lot of people are down with intestine infection and/or food poisoning now ? 

My foot update

I don't feel like sleeping yet. Yes I know it is late but somehow I don't feel like sleeping yet.  I love the night because it is so dark, quiet and peaceful.  Simply enjoying the silence of the night.

Just now I went to see doctor for my injured foot again. In fact, a follow up. It has not recovered and still am limping around.  The doctor told me the xray showed my foot has torn tendons, torn muscles, torn ligaments and a sprain except fractures. No need to see specialist.   It may take up to 3 months to fully recovered. Was told to be more patience, walk less, rest, rest, rest and more rest in order to heal faster.  I told the doctor my foot injury is since Hari Raya Haji till Deepavali is over and not yet recovered.  I am so upset.  I want my foot to be recovered fully now.

I would say it is healing but not fully recovered yet.  Still walking super slow and limping.  Dr taped my toes last week.  I cannot walk too long and foot feel weak.  If walk too long, will feel painful.

Well thanks to bestie to share with me a link just now for eating to a speedy recovery.  Click here for it. I ate lots of salmon and spinach. Hope it will speed up my recovery of my injured foot.   

Somehow I feel tired now and wanna sleep.  Later will have tons of work to do. 

Good night and sweet dreams everyone.

Keep calm and move on

Change is constant.  We need to embrace change, adapt to change and be flexible in life.  We never know what is gonna happen to us so live life to the fullest. 

Fashionably yours didn't expect my right foot to be injured to the extent of torn tendons and torn muscles.  As the doctor has advised me that it may take some time to heal and I need to be patience.  As a person who is so full of life and zest, I am usually very active, it is very hard for me to accept that I have to minimise movements now.  In fact, I am slipping into depression last week because I just cannot keep still and I miss going out and about.  Now I cannot walk too fast and walk too long, if not my right foot will hurt.  Oh yes I also miss wearing my favourite ferragamo heels.  I keep wearing my fitflop these few weeks.

Yes I may have injured my right foot and cannot walk too much. I need to minimise movements in order for my injured foot to heal faster. Thank God I can still work from home. Things are done and delivered in the office.  It doesn't mean I cannot do certain things. I am doing things differently and get it delivered promptly.  Praise the Lord.

In a way good that I can work from home, take it as a drill for emergency and crisis situations.  Example, usually Nov and Dec are the rainy seasons, if all the roads in Singapore are flooded, we still can work from home and delivered the job.  Also another example is dengue fever red alert, SARS, dangerous haze level and bird flu, these are times when staff would need to work from home.  How many of you and/or your organisation are ready for such emergency and crisis situations ? 

Despite my current condition, I tell myself I have to keep calm and move on.  I just need to be patience, be a good girl, walk less and rest well.  My foot will heal soon.  Then I can go out and about to hang out with my friends again, as well as back to work in the office. 

God bless me a speedy recovery.  Amen.

My foot and my food

 

Fashionably yours injured foot is making me slipping into depression. Feel frustrated being not able to move around much in order for the foot to heal faster.  Hence I will listen to my body, taking a back seat to rest, rest, rest, rest and more rest.  Despite that I am working from home while my right foot is recovering.  It will be minimum disruption at work and business as usual.  However it is super duper busy working from home. It is not easy.  So many phone calls, emails to reply, meetings to arrange, etc.  Thanks to  amazing technology, nowadays everyone can work anytime, anywhere as long as there is internet access.  Ideally to have VPN - Virtual Portal Network, from the company.

 

With my laptop and mobile phone, I would say I can work anytime and anywhere.  I must know where to draw the line as I usually work beyond 6pm.  Tons of work to clear everyday. Maybe I enjoy my work too much that I just keep doing and forgot about knocking off work time.   

 

Enough said about my injured foot and working from home experience.  Fashionably yours need some food to cheer myself up. Yummy food will cheer me up.
