Ever since I've started working in the local hospital, things doesn't seem to go very smooth for me. I've been falling ill more often than ever, and the number of MCs I've taken is beginning to scare me.

I've only just recovered from a cough which lasted a month, and now I'm hospitalised for something else. Yup, I'm actually blogging whilst lying in bed in the hospital at the moment. It feels weird that I'm all alone in the room. I've gotten so used to having Dearie around me every night, and now that I'm alone in this hospital room, it's too quiet.

Anyway, I'm glad that at least my cough has gotten well. It was haunting me for a month, and I coughed so badly that I actually lost my voice for 3 weeks. Am still coughing now, but at least it's occasional.

And just when I thought I'm all strong and ready for the battle at work after my annual leave, I sustained quite a severe back injury. Have no idea how I injured myself because I was still sleeping happily on Saturday before waking up with a very bad backache on Sunday. It got a little better on Monday, so I was able to go to work, but in the wee hrs of the morning today, the pain was so excruciating that it woke me up from my sleep in tears. I couldn't move without assistance, and couldn't stand properly as well. Dearie had to help me change positions every few minutes because I just couldn't get comfortable in any position possible. The pain was there constantly, and I felt that I was being "stabbed" for every tiny movement I made.

Went to A&E, was given a jab which didn't help, so that's how I ended up being warded. Kinda regret being warded in CGH though, because I don't have my buddies here, or else they can help kill my boredom by having lunch with me or come to my room to rot during their daily MO gathering. I miss crapping with them, and I felt like shit when I can't join my friends for lunch when Mark msged me this afternoon. I miss them.

Will be having physio assessment tmr, and hopefully, my pain will start improving with the meds. At least now I'm able to find a more comfortable position to sit, although I still can't move much without assistance and not able to stand up straight. The pain is still there though, not that much relief. I'm fine as long as I don't move.

Now my concern is...how am I gonna sleep tonight in this position.....looks like it's not going to be a night of proper rest. Not forgetting that I'm troubled abt work problems as well..have no idea how I'm going to do my 30hr shift on Friday...
