- It was my 1 year anniversary working here in PH, and i started to fall ill with diarrheas and slight fever. Perhaps due to home sickness, or just loosing my guard and eventually i fall victim to the in-trend covid-19.
- I felt something in my throat after my regular gym session on Tuesday (10th Aug). The next day it developed into sore throat and mild fever. I am expecting my immune body to fight and prevail this fight against the bacteria/virus as usual but this time i succumb to the illness after 1 week.
- On Saturday i felt the sore throat and fever go worst, and so i went to the pharmacy to get some medicine, oxy meter, thermometer and also to the nearby stall to get some fruits. On the following Monday (16th Aug), i felt my situation getting worst and i had informed my superior and HR that i am not coming for work. The HR manager came to me and inform me that, in the case that i need to admit to hospital, i will need to do covid test and in the event i am tested positive, i will have to undergo quarantine for 2 weeks with no pay. It seems like a warning to me to not get treatment unless i willing to forego my pay.
- I lost of my appetite and cannot sleep well in the night due to the fever and breathing difficulties. I am worry of the breathing difficulties as i had asthma when i was young. My fever is the worst on Tuesday night and on Wednesday i thought i felt better and went to the canteen to get some breakfast.
- As i was sitting down on the table, my vision started to turn whiter and brighter. The longer i sat the worst it became. It was then i decide i need to start walking back to my dorm to rest. As i was walking to return the cup to the collection table, i can barely see the face of the people around me as everything is so white and bright. It was a blessing in disguise as when i was walking back to my dorm, with some motion, my vision started to improve and back to normal. I guess this is what happen when people starting to faint. I believe this is the signal that God had given me that, although my fever had subside, and my sense of smell had recover a little but everything is still not ok yet.
- With some pressure and persuasion from my family, i had decided to alert the HR and Dorm assistant that i may need medical attention because i had difficulties in breathing. The nurse from the factory came, did some checking and informed that all my vital signs are ok. I insisted that i need to check on my lung as i had breathing difficulties. Nevertheless, they can only arrange to seek for medical attention the next day as it is already late in the afternoon.
- The next day (Thu), i felt better as the fever had totally subside, and i am also hoping my body can recover slowly by itself (so that i do need to do covid testing, quarantine and loose my daily wage). Thus i had informed the dorm assistant that let's monitor one more day.
- My sleep is not well over the past few days and on Friday afternoon after watching youtube of uncle
