I went to see a Doctor yesterday amidst the bad weather and with a high fever. I was hoping that the doctor's diagnosis would turn out differently but subconsciously, I was very aware that 99%, I got mumps. I read the symptoms and they all fit on it. I looked like an alien already as my jawbone swell and sore a lot. And so alas, the doctor confirmed that it was indeed mumps (!) and sad to say, I was told to rest for a week - and it means to say that my duty will be extended, too. Sigh.... I hope I won't get sick again during my entire rotation at the hospital.
With all that has happened to me, I cannot celebrate Valentines day with my husband and daughter. As I've said in my previous post, I sent my daughter to her grandma's place and now I am terribly missing her. I posted a blog at My Girl about how I felt on not seeing her.
Yesterday, I really had chills and my husband put on so many blankets over me. I guess there were 5 including my woolen blanket. And since it was not enough, he wrapped himself around me to keep me warm. He took a leave of absence from work to take care of me so he was the one who prepared my meals and all my other needs. I suffered Parotitis, too, that I had a hard time chewing on my food so my husband decided to spoon-fed me. Sweet, huh? But what a sad way to celebrate our Valentine.
But I do appreciate his gestures. I suddenly remember our vows more than 7 years ago, that "in sickness and in health, for better or for worse..." It's very meaningful to me now more than ever. It is indeed a Bittersweet Valentines Day for me today. But despite all that happened, and despite all our nonsense bickering, I felt love and protected. I thank Glenn for everything.
Addendum:
My husband left me for awhile because he decided to buy a viand. He got back around 12:45 pm and he bought me malasugue soup because it's easy for me to chew and it was all that I wanted, too. And he also brought me a bouquet of flowers. It fills me up, huh? I was having a fever already but I suddenly forgot it for awhile, hehe. Thank you Glenn for sticking with me thru thick and thin. Happy Valentines Day!

Thank you for your messages, for your words of encouragement, for empathizing with me in my current condition. Times like this, I need some support.
Anyway, everyday is Valentine's day, right? But we still plan to have a late celebration. It will be very meaningful for us then because we will be reunited once again...
