5/10/09: I was feeling that something was wrong with my body for the past day. On 5th I went to the Web Services class at 1630 hrs. In the class I had this strange feeling with my jaw. I had a minor headache that was persistent and was feeling terribly bad by the end of the class at 1530 hrs.
I came back to the room and by 1800 hrs I realized all the symptoms pointed towards fever. I decided to quit the evening class and ate curd rice that night. By 2200 I was having what i assumed to be 103F body temperature. I reluctantly called home telling them that I may have fever and the usual advice was given and I was asked to come back home the next morning.
The entire night was a horrible spend. I watched some movies till 0139 hrs and finally slept for half an hour before I had to getup to pee and by then I was feeling the full heat. My entire body suddenly felt as if it was 75 years old. I literally had to take the support of the wall to walk till the toilet. I called Phani to open the door of his room so that I could take one more parasetamol he brought for me. I could not sleep for the rest of the night. I got a call from home at 0730 by which I decided I need special medical attention. I requested my dad that I would like to stay at Srinivas babai's home for a day or two for which he agreed. I reached there by 0815 or so. I went to hospital and the doc put me on the antibiotic course for 5 days.
I came back by and started watching pretty things movie o Star Movies. I would like to watch that completely once again. The story was realistic and my body condition was horrific. I didn't have enough energy to walk till the toilet to take a leak.
Babai and pinni took good care of me. I felt absolutely no difference in the amount of care I would get if I were at my home. My mom came there the next morning. I was a little better by then and could walk till the toilet. she reached by 1100 hrs. I was happy that I could shout at her for silly things. I know it is stupid and am not helping myself but it somehow made me feel better.
She stayed for the next day. During day 3 I had this terrible health condition and she was visibly worried. I had some blood tests and everything was quiet normal in them.
I finally went home on day 5. I stayed there for another 5 days by the end of which I thanks to the doc killed most of the virus and have started the long journey of recovery.
AFAIK this is the worst health condition I've experienced in my life.The ordeal lasted for 10 days and after 5 days more I returned to my cousins room.
The room was like a dead planet this time. There were clothes thrown every where and thought that room was excavated to find some hidden treasures. There was no running water that day. Our room had a short circuit so the fuse for our room was down and so is it today and possibly stay that way for the coming new year too.
We in the room are like bacteria. When ever life becomes difficult, we move to different locations and prepare to stay in new locations despite them being inhospitable. We moved the bed to the living room and finally granted the room independence for the red-ants that were the local population before we colonized that room.
I am still trying to gaining back my lost energy and Jenna, Tiffany, Nella, and the crews of ALS, KEEZ, and other social organizations are helping me out on this (Indirectly (For the record)).
Today, I've started to figure out what I had missed in the classes and am working on it. This time without the help of any social organization thanks to nature. ;-)
I've lost 1.5 kg by the way.
