We went for a 13 day trip to South Korea.. to give ourselves a break from all the renovation woes.. a breather from work.
Turns out I was fighting a lost battle with fever for half the trip.
All the Paracetmol could only temporarily relieve me from the fever before the next episode strikes in another 4 hours or so.
The legs were already aching badly from the hiking trip and the chills made things worse. I could not walk properly let alone had extreme difficulty climbing the stairs in the subway.
Came back and was warded to A&E the next day cos fever came up to 40deg and slightly dehydrated..
Diagnosed with UTI and doctor told me if my back hurts, likely the kidneys would be affected. I had some soreness in the back and it made me worried mad.
Thank god the antibiotics given work wonders and the fever gradually subsided. My face colour came back (I had purple lips and pale face).
Learnt my lesson never to withhold the urge to pee the hard way cos UTI can strike again.
I’m so glad BB was beside me to comfort and care for me.
