When mum came down to Singapore on Thur, she also brought with her the red eye virus from Malaysia. She did not tell me earlier, but apparently, my brother had caught the virus from his colleague. By the time she came down on Thur, my nephew had already caught the virus. My mum must have caught the virus too because the next day, she was down with sore eyes.
I was very careful with hygiene the next 2 days, hoping I won't catch the virus. Sore eyes are very contagious & spread through touch. Oh boy, on Sunday, I realise I've caught the virus too. I've never got sore eyes before, so didn't really know what to do. So my immediate reaction was to see the doctor. But I think it was a mistake because the eye lotion the doctor prescribed made my eyes redder & more painful.
So today (Mon, 30 Apr), I decided to go to SGH for a more thorough check on my eyes. The eye specialist said due to my low immunity from cancer, I might take longer to get better than most other people. In normal cases, most people would recover in 3-4 days but for me, I might take 1-2 weeks to recover. "Oh no, I will have to miss BSF!" That was my immediate response.
It is true that my low immunity makes me very vulnerable to viral attacks; so I must take extreme precaution when I go to public places. But how? I can't be hiding at home everyday, right? I need to go to office, to markets, to shopping malls, to use public transport, etc. Any suggestions?
Please pray for my eyes to recover soonest possible.
thanks for journeying with me,
tsk tsk
