What a week…

Last week was a bad, bad, bad, bad week…

Firstly, my lower-left wisdom tooth was really driving me nuts. Sick and tired of the constant, dull (but sometimes sharp) pain, I called up my dentist and decided to get the bugger out once and for all. Had the surgery (a mini one but still a surgery nonetheless!) on Wednesday (25Jul) morning.

OH-MY-GOSH. That was &^#$* painful! Either my dentist is lousy or somehow I am immune to the 3 jabs of anesthesia that he poked into my gums, I could still feel pain when he stitched my wound?! Even he muttered “weird that you can feel pain at this point”

But the worst pain came like 2 hrs after the surgery when the anesthesia wore off and I was left rolling on my bed, groaning with pain. My left cheek started to swell and my face kinda looked lope-sided. And strangely, I developed blue-black bruises at my lower left check as well.

Weaken by pain and the lack of food, I, somehow caught a really, nasty flu bug and started coughing, sneezing, body aching all over and at the same time, still gripping with the maddening pain at my lower left cheek.

Was really sick during the past weekend and decided to see a doctor about my flu. The doc took a look at the antibiotics that my earlier dentist prescribed and screamed, “Why are you eating amoxicillin when you are allergic to penicillin? No wonder you are not getting well?!”

O manz, so I was munching on poison instead of medicine, no wonder my body was protesting. So the doc gave me another set of antibiotics, cough syrup, anti phlegm pills and some small little green pills to let me sleep better at night instead of coughing my lungs out.

Amid, the coughing and the aching at home, I was still watching the markets rather keenly but stock markets across the world had a minor correction last week, which means that I am not earning much this month. What the hell…

All in all, it was a really shitty week. But I am on the road to recovery. Feeling slightly better already. At least I’m no longer coughing my lungs out.

The only consolation – I passed my CFA level 1! *Yeah!* I can finally move on to level 2 next June. Think I gotta start studying sometime in Sept. O boy.
