That was nasty

My ward held its annual Nurses Day arty earlier today, but unfortunately, I was not able to enjoy it - that much. The sore throat, plus the myalgia was not conducive to celebration, but the food was as always, very nice indeed, lovingly prepared by the member of the nursing staffs. And, as usual, I contributed some cash as well as dessert. For today, Anita had to do the cake delivery as I was too tired to head out last night. Finally, we missed out on the Red Velvet - it would only be ready after midday. Anita grabbed some other cake, which unfortunately, I did not get too sample - it was gone in double-quick time. By the time I finished clinic, the party had already started, I enjoyed the laksa, prepared by one of my BMT nurse, and ended up having some salads as the spice from the laksa really hurt my throat.

Being pampered by my boys and Anita as sson as I arrived homeAs I was not very well in the afternoon, I tried to get home early - as I was being driven in, our driver came over to pick me up just after three - but unfortunately, I had a couple of referrals to see. Once those were sorted out, I reached home, my temperature just shot through the roof - peaking at just over 39 degrees. The myalgia got unbearable, and I ended up just lying in bed, after taking some brufen, paracetamol and antibiotics. Once that subsided, I had to endure the lecture from Anita about healthy eating, and she duly prepared my afternoon tea - salad! Then it was pasta for dinner! I wanted some soup but it was too spicy for my throat.

Anita lovingly prepared this salad bowl for me. And as a good husband, I gobbled them down!While I was at the clinic earlier, my patients kept on trying to give me tips on how to remedy my sore throat. It ranged from honey to raw starfruit, to lemon juice. If my sore throat stayed like this, I might have to resort to those then.
