Emptiness All Around

28 September 2009, Monday (9 Syawal)

Today, my house seems very empty after a week of activity.  Today, it's just me at home.  My husband is back at work after spending a week with me and our kids for Hari Raya.  Ina went back to UTM, Johor yesterday and that adds to my feeling of despondency.

Khairul and Khairi have resumed their classes at the University and school respectively.  And Khairil has gone to Malacca for site visit which is part of his job reckeeing for places to hold events.

So, I'm left all alone at home, nursing my bad flu, cough and wheezing. In fact this is one of the worse wheezing  I've ever suffered.

The wheezing had caused me a sleepless night last night. I had tried to sleep on my cervical chair but my neck hurt terribly. So I decided to prop up several pillows on the bed to enable me to breathe better, but that too, was no better.  So in the end, I had lain flat on my cervical pillow and managed to doze off only around 4:00 a.m.

I'm still wheezing and I hope it'll go away soon.Only people who suffer from asthma and breathing difficulty will know how hard it is to breathe when you have a bout of wheezing.

Nebuliser and Nasi Ikan

26 September 2009, Saturday (7 Syawal)

Today, I had a bout of bad wheezing. My husband had to take me to our family doctor to use the nebuliser as I wasn't getting better despite using the inhalers. It's been a long while since I last used the nebuliser.  All along, my asthma has been very much under control with the inhalers prescribed by HUKM.

But for some strange reason, this time around, the attack was so so sudden and so severe. I have been resting and not doing much.

Later in the evening, my eldest sister, Kak Pah came by with my brother in law, Abang Man to send Nasi Tomato Ikan which she had cooked earlier, despite being ill herself.

Kak Pah, the Nasi Tomato is so good, really yummy and delicious.  THANK YOU so much.
