copious alcohol singing/screaming (till the throat becomes inflamed) sinning lack of sleep (haze and ushering) persistent high fever for two days (and nights) (missing out on things that were actually worth my time)
have I not learnt my lesson from a month ago?
how many times must i make the same mistakes before i stop making them?
a bruised reed he will not break, and a faintly burning wick he will not quench
as vulnerable, hopeless, of little faith, burdened by our sins as the reed and the flame
but He who is gentle, compassionate and faithful still loves us unconditionally, sacrificially
in following Jesus, the faithful servant, we are also called to be clothe in gentleness and compassion
Thank God for sustaining me through that two terrible nights and for my loving parents and helper who continually applied cold towels to my body and massaged me.
was pestered by strange dreams with my mind in overdrive that i couldn't sleep at times. suffering from chills only because the body wanted to increase its temperature. I was suffering too from occupational hazard by thinking of all those cases where the patients were febrile, went into septic shock or had meningitis. In my incoherent mind, I saw case notes and the words "tachycardic" repeatedly appeared. In turn, I measured my own heart rate, which was indeed tachycardic. i don't normally have fevers when i fall sick, but when i do, it's terrible. Thank God it's over (hopefully) and before my trip. there goes my gym plans and get ankles/knees back into shape plan before my trip. but hope I can play touch this saturday.
probably gotta head to the office tomorrow to pack and move into my new room with a view of the bay (not sure whether to be excited or not), file my call papers and do some work which my boss called me this morning about. in the meantime, praying for speedy recovery.
