Dead Man Walking (part deux)

Got woken up by the spasms in the leg muscles, and the pain at the joints.

My body was burning, the digital thermometer read 39.6 degree Celcius, and I... I...

I... see... dead... people... (frosty breath)

Nevermind, it's just my own reflection.

1g of paracetamol, and the wet towel went back to my forehead, felt unbelievably shattered. My body is pumped full of paracetamol over these four days, every 6 hours on the dot, sometimes every 4 hours.

I wonder if it's blood or some kind of paracetamol mixture that would come out if I took a blood sample.

It's already the fourth day of this bloody viral infection, still felt as lousy as the first day. Bed-bounded for 20+ hours a day, I am getting very weary.

The specialist that I last consulted told me they will start investigating when I have been having the fever for two weeks or more. For the time being, I will just continue to pump myself full of paracetamol and pray, like, real hard, so I won't die before they are willing to investigate and actually treat me instead of suppressing.

Hey, he is the doctor, so trust him right? After all, cold rigid corpse is not bothered by fever or throat infection.

Yea yea I know I am being sarcastic but I have been bed-bounded for days now and feel totally shit, let me rant a bit, okay?

Don't think even the super duper joy juice can help me here.

Hoi, getting better now? Perhaps doing some mild exercise and sweat a bit might help? Rather than lying on bed all day.. Hope you will feel better soon and see ya in office tomorrow...

P/s: don't worry about your medical report, I've got it and 'everyone' has viewed it..

Finally didn't have any temperature spikes for more than 12 hours, so I should be back to the office to spread the virus to you all tomorrow.

As for the medical report... you are catching up on our admin.

Thanks for getting it.
