A Crappy Cold (June 13)

This day was supposed to be the day where my eyes would have been undergone some major restructuring. It is also the day where I got sick with an extremely severe cold/flu. I was really grateful that my surgery has been pushed one week ahead, since there was no way I could have done it today. The flu was so bad that I even had to take a day off work. It was also funny because the first day I was sick (and went to work), I had to keep stuffing tissue up my nose to avoid my runny nose from leaking all over. It was a very weird kind of runny nose, where without any prior notice, it would start dripping like water from a faucet. Every 5-10 minutes I had to replace the tissue in my nose since it got so soaked that eventually the tissue itself would start dripping. Even the tea boy passed by me and asked if I was ok. It was terrible.

I spent that week boosting my system to tons of food and vitamins in order to recover completely by next week where I have to undergo the surgery. I probably gained a couple of kilos in the process but convinced myself that it was all for a greater purpose and that weight can always be lost.
