I got a fever on Friday (19th) that would not go away even after a visit to the GP two days later. So on Tuesday (23rd) after some "arm-twisting" from Sue I went to the Sime Darby Medical Centre. I pretty much guessed I'd be checking in when the nurse took my blood pressure three times. Turned out it was 90/50 which is quite low. They were afraid I was gonna faint or something as they kept asking if I felt faint. I felt okay and it is just to lingering fever that's really bugging me.
Biz is so good that I had to wait 2 hours in emergency before my bed was ready. So begins my four days and three nights of absolute boredom. All I did was eat, sleep and watch tv. Hey, that's what I do at home anyway! They had Star Movies so I did get to catch some shows that I'd missed. I enjoyed The Guardian starring Kevin Costner and Ashton Kutcher. Good show. Another notable movie was Men of Honor apparently a true story of an African American sailor (diver) in the US Navy. De Niro and Cuba Gooding Jr were splendid. I also watched the wacky show Shallow Hal, Home Alone 3 and The Beach (Leonardo Di Caprio).
The reason the doc kept me there so many days was to eliminate any chance that I may have dengue fever. By the third day it seemed to be a bad case of viral fever and I would be discharged soon.
I finally got to come home on Friday (Boxing Day) and first food that came to my mind was McDonald's Quarter Pounder and a Vanilla Milkshake.

Note: During my stay I decided to quit smoking. Was it because of my illness? No. It was because I missed Nic so much (mum too) and I kept remembering how Nic would say grace and it went like this. "Dear Lord Jesus. Thank you for the food. Please bless the food into our bodies and make my daddy stop smoking and also stop drinking beer. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen!"
