Day 7: Sudden Illness

Friday, August 5th 2011

No, this day wasn't a movie day as usual. So yes, please don't leave this post. In this day, ritual was still the same. Sahur, Subuh pray, Sleeping in the morning. But, I had to wake up at 11 a.m. this day for the Friday pray. After Friday pray, I went back to home and was going to sleep again until near Maghrib. But... that sudden illness was coming.....

My stomach started trembling. It really hurt that I barely could feel the warm of Counterpain (this balm usually makes me feel comfy for its hotness). Therefore, I couldn't go to sleep. I also tried to do that sh*tting activities but it still didn't work. After several times screaming like jagger because of the pain, I, sadly and finally, vomited. But, still, didn't effective to ease the pain. So, I walked around the house, screaming and moaning like I was a demoniac. My mom finally arrived at home, saw my condition, and tried to give me a positive suggestion (yep, that's what she did. because positive suggestion is cheaper than medicine & medical action :")).

However, I experienced the second vomit. My mom panicked, then. So, she dressed up and brought me to medical center near my house. Well, while she's in the middle of dressing up (it took a long time... a really long time), I already thought the worst. Diabetes, colon cancer, and so on... Geez, I'm officially suffering hypochondria, I guess.

After being examined by the doctor, turned out that I was suffering a maag. That happened because I ate spicy food too much. Which was true... Mom's making rendang for the first days of Sahur. Then, we bought the medicine at the drugs store. Then, we headed back to home.

Due to the doctor's advice, I skipped the Taraweh pray. Which was a wrong decision because my family straightly went to Bubur Ayam Cikini (Chicken Porridge at Cikini region. they're quite famous in jakarta!) after the Taraweh. Fortunately, they bought me a take-away porridge. Yummy! I felt better after I ate that dish.
