Wow! I have recovered from the worst, from now on it will only get better and better. My throat is almost 90% OK, able to swallow...no problem at all with minimal pain or discomfort.and day by day I am getting bolder in trying different stuff around the kitchen and pantry. The appetite is slowly improving. My diet is now semi -solids, so all that is good news. Had Sabri & Wati send over Kelantan food for Sat's lunch. Not that I could taste anything but I certainly ate my favorite nasi kukused in banana leaves.dono what its called but it was great.. My sense of smell is acute and so stuff like soy, sesame oil, curry all smells good. Sadly though my taste buds are non existent.So whether I get to eat sweets tau foo fah or delicious chicken soup noodled makes no differenence. I just wack it to survive. My weight has stablised, thank God, 77kg now.
My voice is slowly coming back and so is the energy levels. Gone are the days where I would sit in front of the TV aimless surfing the sports channels to keep me occupied. Now I am back in front of the computer screen doing what I do best and that is designing new materials for the lecture and presentations. I am updating the CRM manual and that is challenging and frustrating at times as I run out of ideas. Hope fully if my vertigo subsides and I am able to drive the car without endangering my self or others on the road, I will go back to work soon. Yeah....saw the ENT fella last Friday and got more medicine to stablise the vertigo. Now it not so bad but still I can feel it that its still there.
On the subject of driving, I drove to the golf course today around 5:30pm. in my old car WAR9394. Wow, no problem at all driving. Got to the golf course around 6.00pm and had just enough time to play 3 holes and work out a sweat. Not bad after 8 weeks of layoff. Yes after 3 hole I got pretty tired and my legs started to ache. Yeah I am pretty unfit. But the fact that I was able to drive my self and play golf just shows that the future is bright and the nightmare is slowly fading into history.
I am already planing my exercise regime for tomorrow. I was advised by KAT to take it slowly, perhaps walking being the best exercise followed by swimming. The gym has to wait for a while.
Well its 0130 hrs and I better get some sleep. So bye every one. Goodnight!!
welcome back Shakil. Soon yr taste buds will start tasting then I will come back and buy that elusive Baiduri Nasi Kandar and talk away till the mossies get us. Luv yah man.
