Oh well

I guess the only thing that I don't like about winter here in Sydney is that the air just gets so dry. (I know it's not winter yet, but it's coming!!)

My hands get really dry, my skin becomes flaky and very fragile.
I will get really small cuts within my skin, and it will hurt.

I guess my skin is just accustomed to being enveloped by constant humidity.

Problem...

Bad news guys, bad news.
A few dozens of posts ago, before I started this new chapter of my life in UNSW, I had a chest infection. It had developed from a bacterial infection that sparked a brief fever, and then pains in the thorax. I then had an antibiotic treatment, which seemed to be quite successful.

And it was all good and perfect until one day in the gym I realized my breathing pattern was very bizarre. I was on the treadmill and suddenly realized that my breathing, instead of being fast and rushy as it should be while running, was actually very slow, like normal breathing speed. But I would have to breathe in and exhale heaps of air. A med student, friend of mine, suggested I go to the doctor, in case the previous chest infection was still active and doing more harm.

I didn't go immediately. I had a pretty messy week and then had a cold, namely Fresher Fever. It went away relatively quick, but then I've had this cough and mucus problem. I don't feel sick at all, but I just cough up crap quite often. And it bothers me quite a lot since I cannot speak properly sometimes without first coughing.

I went to the doctor today and did the routine check up of the lungs and stuff. After some further analysis the doctor declared that I have pneumonia. Shit. The bacteria from last time were still very well and alive and messing up with my system, but even more. That explains the second cold, and why I'm still coughing.

This is really bad.

I'll be having further analysis, such as X-ray, to determine the severity of my affliction. And I will then go through the entirety of the treatment, which I think includes vaccines and antibiotics. But it seems pretty bad though. A month after the first infection is enough time for the bacteria to make a pretty bad mess of my lungs. We'll see how this develops. I just hopes it doesn't worsen and it doesn't interfere with my studies here at uni. God damn.

Yeah.
God Dammit. It's just ridiculous how one single thing can bring the future down to the ground.














HAPPY APRIL FOOLS DAY PEOPLE!!! I LOVE YOU PEOPLE!!!!! XDDDDDDDDDDDDD
I actually have a resurgence of asthma, which I had for a while when I was a tiny tiny person with no judgment and a brain like a sponge. Not much of a problem for me, I'll just have to carry this puffer around, and yeah, but meh. :)
It's all good people! XD

Hmmmm

I feel sick.
I've got a case of the Fresher Fever, that which occurs during the first weeks of coming into college. I can tell it's going to last a bit. I am the second last person to get it, it's just a matter of time before the newest fresher in our section gets it and completes the cycle. Everyone else in my section has had the Fresher Fever already.
At the end of the day I feel very tired, not really sleepy but rather exhausted because of the simple fact of being awake and having my mind active all the time.

But a cold like this won't bring me down.
'Cos there's still plenty of stuff to do, and the world hasn't ended yet!
I'll keep on rocking!!

Uh oh...

I'm basically cured from my lung problems, phlegm is much less recurrent and I don't need to blow my nose as often.

But the pain is still there, but at a much lower area in my body. It's way too below from the lungs that it just can't be considered borne from within the lungs, as a lung infection.
My prediction is that now the problem is with my left kidney.

However, my predictions are much less plausible than the observations of a professional. I shall get this problem checked as soon as possible. This is driving me crazy!!
