LYMPH-NODE-INFLAMMATION!
Hello world, I am alive, with 3 lumps in my lymph nodes at the neck.
I was freaked out man!
'cause since young I kept reading the swelling of lymph nodes are always negative signals by your body!
I.e. HIV, and cancer!
O M G.
Since I won't get HIV, I kept thinking - CANCER.
SCARY!
For your information, lymph nodes aids in carrying lymphocytes (white blood cells!), and the liquid surrounding your cell tissue, thus acting as 'cleaners' of your body.
Yeapps, so if something's wrong, means your immune system is not well, I THINK.
Yea, and the story goes that 2 days ago I awoke feeling pain and fatigue at the neck area. I assumed I had bad sleeping posture.
But this morning while I was bathing I realised the left neck is swollen with 1/2 lumps!
Shocked me, but didn't tell dad/mom.
Hahha, spent the whole of today touching my neck!
For a moment it would be super swollen, then it would appear less.
Then there would be, 1, 2 then 3, then 1 lumps and they move around!
LOL, okay la, it became rather amusing after awhile but it's frightening k?
):
Being skittish I went to visit the doc after studying with G and Lij.
He proclaimed it's just inflammation so phew!
& he's damn funny.
I.
Me: Why only one side swollen?
Doc: YOU WANT 2 AH?
Me: -.-
II.
Me: Why will it get inflamed?
Doc: *grins* That's the million dollar question! Nobody knows."
Me: -.-
.
Yeapps, and though he claims it's small case, he gave me 65 pills and I'm supposed to finish all, even if the swelling disperses.
o.o
GRAH.
It's hard to keep track of time aye.
What more me who is so scattered-brained.
So I'm gonna start at 10 p.m. today.
SO HI KIND SOULS, you can always feel free to sms me at 8am, or 4pm to ask me to take my antibiotics only, the yellow and red pills.
& 10am for the anti-inflammation pill.
and 10 p.m. again for both!
:D
Apparently if it doesn't stop swelling in 1 or 2 weeks it's trouble, so let's hope it does!
AND I AM GRATEFUL IT'S THE LYMPH NODES AT THE NECK WHICH ARE SWOLLEN.
Why, you ask?
It definitely beats lymph nodes at groin area being swollen hur!
.
Hahhahaha, just told my mom 'cause I want her to sponsor my doctor visit.
LOL!
She nicely cooked soup for me 'cause she's worried I'm too heaty.
(Y) mommy!
.
theTHOUGHTS.
Anyway at the clinic, a man who claimed he had heart attack cut my queue though he entered late.
It's okay la, 'cause heart attack right?
But after that we realised it's just paranoia, but quite frightening ley!
The son was with him, about secondary 2?
And he began to nag him after the visit.
Apparently the dad keep eating overly-heaty stuff like Tongkat Ali and Ginseng, etc, and drinks too much beer.
Witnessing the scene I felt...*indescribable*
I mean, we always experience such scenes with the roles reversed no?
(No, I don't mean the situation whereby the son eats Ginseng and drinks beer.)
Just felt that while it's a blessing for people around you to love you and cherish you, there comes a responsibility with it.
It's like accountability too.
Staying answerable not just to yourself but people who love you.
You can't expect them to love you but not care aye?
It's just a plain and simple package.
But why in this case, is the dad the insensible individual?
It's kinda unfair to burden YOUR SON with such troubles, no?
I could really sense the son's anxiety and frustration.
My heart went out to him in that moment.
How I would panicked if my loved one tell me he's experiencing a heart attack.
OMG.
.
PEOPLE, TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF K?
I know the end of the world might be coming, but even if that's so, let's at the minimum die together.
.
HAhaha, I feel super drained!
GUESS WHAT, I'm sleeping!
Nights, sweet dreams (of me)!! Newer Posts
