Dengue....Why me ??


Still being held captive in CDC due to my lastest illness...Dengue fever,dont even know where I got it,but I will get to the last leg of that mosquito that bit me.

I was admitted on the 27th,and I waited a cool 8 hours just to get a room I didnt want.Initially,I had a room to myself,but there was a shortage of rooms,so I got allocated to a room with 3 beds. It ws quite nice in fact,place was spotless and everything looked new.I could even catch a full sunrise through the miniature french windows from my ward.

Dengue fever infact is nothing much,you get isolated,and no moedicine or jabs are given,just sleep and hope your blood plalates increase.Our human body should have a count of 150,000 blood plalates,but when dengue strikes,we lose the immune system of our own thus our own palates drop to a shocking 50,000 or even 20,000.Mine was about 76,000 then dropped to 54,000,now back to 72,000.If this goes on well,I'll be out soon,I miss my life so much.

Now I'm simply a worthless being,I cant even step out into the corridor,must stay in this really 15ft by 15ft room..

I like to express my thanks to all that took the trouble to come visit me,appreciated...I'll be out and kicking soon.......
