the sinus acted up with the immediate change of the weather on monday afternoon, and i started sneezing non-stop. the heatwave just came and the temperature rose drastically. my nose started getting twitchy and i sneezed, hard sneezes which came out from the depth of the abdomen. i am not exaggerating ah. i even got a sore throat because of that.
yesterday, went to midvalley mall bringing the flu with me. it was horrible walking the malls with an irritated nose.
and i hate those ppl who do not understand my condition when i said that i was sensitive to the sudden change of weather. don't tell me that i am not drinking enough water. don't tell me that i am not exercising enough. don't tell me that i am not eating enough supplements or healthy food. i know my nose and it has rhinitis hence it is sensitive to environmental changes!!!!
ok back to midvalley. got myself a dress from somerset bay. a flowery sort of vintage baby doll dress. haha...i love dresses!
lunch was at delicious and i hated my hainanese chicken chop. it was too oily. i loved what the others ordered.
ok...not this one. the tomato soup is not soupy enough, it was too thick and not smooth at all. yuck!
my horrible hainanese chicken chop. too oily.
lamb shank. yummy.
another lamb dish....this is the best.
nasi kerabu.enough of midvalley now....let's go to things that happened today.
the alarm rang at around 3 am this morning. grandpa had diarrhoea. he opened the door to go to the toilet. everyone woke up because of the alarm but i did not go down to check because i already heard someone going down. i was having difficulty of my own when my sinus also acted up when i went to bed and i couldn't sleep well.
so i heard that uncle stayed downstairs for about 30 minutes and saw grandpa going to the toilet a few times and he changed his pants a few times too. it was really bad for grandpa.
and this morning, i was again woken up by another sound. no, not the alarm because i don't think dad turned it on again after that. it was a knocking sound from downstairs. tak! tak! tak! tak! when i was really alert, i quickly got down from bed and ran downstairs.
and the sight that i saw was a pitiful one. grandfather was lying on the floor, flat on his back, his hands holding the walker and knocking it on the floor, hence the sound.
i quickly ran upstairs again to get mom and dad and they jolted up from bed when they heard what i said.
in the end, they managed to make grandfather sit up, then put him on a small chair and he finally managed to stand up again.
it was around 730 a.m. at that time. grandfather could have been too weak from all the toilet runs that he fell or he was too stubborn to use the walker to go to the toilet in the morning. from what i saw, it was more likely the second scenario. he always refuses to use the walker or the walking stick when he wakes up in the morning to go to the toilet. he would rather sway from left to right and to grab whatever he could on his way there to support him.
anyway, he is better now. mom gave him chinese medicine to take to stop the purging. he had his breakfast, lunch and dinner without any complaint. mom also rubbed ointment on his bloated stomach to get rid of wind.
but he refused the durian we offered him. yup, we had durians for dinner. dad got them from ulu yam since uncle is back. i told him that his wish came true because earlier he asked me if there was durian.
hopefully tomorrow will be a better day. i dare not take my flu pill that i told dad to get from the pharmacy now since i swallowed some herbal pills to get rid of the heat from eating durian.
i took one of the pills (zyrtec-d) this afternoon and i can still feel its effect now. it made me sort of dizzy at the beginning, but not really sleepy. then i felt weak in my limbs....till now. maybe it is the side effect. will see how my sinus go tomorrow, have to make the problem go away by swallowing the pill since there is nothing i can do to change the weather.
