On the 2nd Day of Christmas

Yesterday, SK began to experience shivers and sweats. This time she really thought she caught the flu virus. She even threw up twice.

Oh no! Today SK got worse. ENT appointment was off.

SK called Dr Melvin Chua who also thought she had flu and asked her to see her GP for medication. In the afternoon, she dragged herself to see the GP. The GP said her throat was very red and badly inflammed, and advised her to see her oncologist immediately.

Uh oh. SK called MC who advised her to come down to see him. MC said he was surprised her mouth dryness did not seem to be getting better and prescribed medication for her tongue, throat and stomach. He wasn't sure why she got the shivers and sweats, and why her mouth was getting drier. He said if she still didn't recover, he would refer her to a gastroenterologist.

Thank God for Ai Min, she took SK home. In this kind of cold, wet and floody weather, words cannot express the gratitude for this thoughtful act of kindness.

BTW, the ENT appointment has been rescheduled to Wed 10 Jan 2007, 9.10am.
