My hospital journey

Due to the serious rash that I got last weekend, I paid four trips to the hospital within five days. A really scary number!

I went to hospital A this morning, and the doctor said my rash condition wasn't getting even a bit better. He started to consider it as something more than just hives and immediately suggested me be hospitalized in order to proceed some physical checks. However, there's no vacancy from the wards and the doctor didn't look really professional. So I was transferred to hospital B in the afternoon. The dermtatologist diagnosed my illness as a rare rash (多形性紅斑), and gave me a series of examinations including blood check and biopsy. And I got FIVE stitches for that painful biopsy, and unlimited needles from the blood exam. And I cried, as the first time I felt scary.

There are lots of things happend along the way, some are terrifying and some hilarious. I'm waiting for my report to come out next Wed, and hopefully, I'll be able to have my stitches out by then. Thanks for the persons who worried about me. I'm getting better, much better, I'm sure. I'll take care of myself.

Thank Simon, my dear love, who has accompanied me to the hospital and took care of me while I had fever these days. I know you got pressure from the impending TOEFL exam, but you are still there when I need you. That's really sweet and thoughtful of you. I just want to say I LOVE YOU.

Thank my dear mom, dad and sis, who have been worrying about me and giving me lots of care and help. You are always the best.

Thank my friends, who called or wrote me e-mails. It's nice to hear from you.

Thank the doctors and nurses, who have been taking care of me these days.

I do hope I'll recover soon, so I can get away from those terrifying physical exams. So wish me luck!
