I came home with terrible headache but I couldn't go straight to bed. We had to go to the clinic, the twins needed medical attention as we have noticed several spots similar to that blistered skin on their bodies. It started first with Nabihah few days ago. We saw her skin was blistered near her pelvis, we thought maybe the sitter at her school did not put on the diaper properly. So we bought the pull-up pant diapers (which is so costly!) to replace the stick-on type she normally used. I even bought the antiseptic cream and plaster and packed them in her bag with a note asking the sitter to apply it on Nabihah.
But the blister gets worse...it turns to a scalded resemblance. And another spot appeared very near to the existing one. And later, her sister, Nabilah also developed two similar spots on her belly. We were worried when another spot appeared on her leg. The spots getting bigger (now as big as 1 cent coin) but not watery nor bleeding. I wonder whether it is a kind of ringworm or something. We have never encountered such thing before with the twins. Nabilah used to be allergic to seafood and insect bites but she just developed the small red spots all over her body. The problem goes off once she takes the allergic medicine which we always keep at home. And she has not developed the problem quite sometime now even when she eats seafood. So it's better we refer them to doctor for consultation and appropriate medicine. Maybe the antiseptic cream is not the answer.
We took them to this one clinic which I don't favor because the other two clinics in my husband's panel clinic list were not opened. I don't like this clinic because the doctors are not friendly (yes, so far all the doctors I've met in this clinic wear the same unfriendly faces), the clinic always crowded (not because they are good, but because the clinic opens 24 hours and holds long list of company using them as panel clinic). Even the front counter staffs somehow have some sort snobbish attitude. I keep swearing to myself that I would not come to this clinic ever again in every last visit but still we come here because of its convenience (this clinic is the nearest one to our home, it opens 24 hours, it's a panel so we don't have to use our money especially at the end of the month...wallet getting thinner....heheheh).
At the time we arrived, a group of foreign workers just came out from the clinic. I believed they were there to do some necessary medical check-up. It took us nearly half an hour waiting to be called and I was nearly dozed off due to my headache. And with two toddlers (the twins!) running, jumping and making noise at the place, it was torturous enough for us. The doctor who was on duty, was not even smiling when we entered the room. Don't they know that smiling is one way to heal a patient?
So we told her the twins' situation and showed the spots. She said she couldn't tell exactly what it is but it's probably a skin disease (well, I also know that, mind you!). She said if the disease keeps persisting after three days, we will have to come back and she would refer us to dermatologist. She prescribed us a medicated cream and syrup. And waiting for the prescription to be ready took us another 10 minutes. It annoyed me as I saw the staff handling the prescription section kept changing the TV channels. Or was I being impatient? Yeah, I was very impatient because all I wanted was to go home and rest.
But after the clinic, we had to take the dinner first which took us another 1 hour before we finally got home. By that time, I was feeling so bad, I nearly threw up. I knew this was not the normal headache but accompanied with wind, and I guess it happened because I accidentally skipped my lunch yesterday. I took the ginger ENO to relief the wind before I went to sleep. I just hope that the headache was not related to high blood pressure (my bp level is abnormal, remember?).
I woke up this morning feeling a bit dizzy and so unmotivated to go to work. But MC is a big NO-NO as I have important works to do today. I think I need to got for a get-away or a relaxing spa to make me feel better.
I hope I'll be more energetic today even after the office hour because I have tonnes of house chores to do at home. Before I left to work, I noticed there was a pile of dirty dishes in the sink and on the table. The hall is a mess and laundry baskets are already full. Not to mention, the pile of washed but unfolded clothes on the bed in the spare room.
Don't you think it's hectic enough for me?
