My hubby succumbed to stomach flu on Monday. When he came back from work, he told me he was having diarrhoea after he took his lunch. He also did not have appetite to have his dinner. In the end, I had to finish up everything by myself. Asked him to see a doctor and as usual he is stubborn headed and he said NO NEED. He still has plans to go to work the next day!
However in the middle of the night, he could not take it anymore. He woke up at 1am, text one of his colleagues informing him he will not be going to work tmr. On Tuesday morning, he went to the clinic few blocks away from our house at 9am to get a queue number. Yes, the doctor near our house is very popular. He always has lots of patients queuing up to see him even before the clinic is opened for consultation. In the end, my hubby got a number but it was scheduled to be at 11am. The clinic actually scheduled for a number at every 5 minutes interval. So you can imagine, how many patients were there before my hubby..
My hubby was on 2 days MC and he practically slept for whole of Tuesday. He even turned his HP to silent mode which he don't usually do when he fell ill. He was really feeling very terrible. I forced him to drink a cup of oatmeal with some sugar in the morning & cook millet poridge for him at night. But at late afternoon, he woke up and start to return all calls that he missed. One of his colleagues even ask him to attend a meeting the next day! The colleague say if he could not go to company, then he will come down to our house for the meeting! Can you imagine this??? So in the end, he chose to go back to company instead....
On Wednesday, he went back to company at 10am for meeting but only came home at 4pm. But he continued with his work at home till 6.30pm. Cooked sweet potato soup for him as lunch but he only took it after 4pm. At night, cooked fish and millet poridge for him. But he made a special order of how he wants the fish to be cooked. **Faint**
Just a note, if anyone who is having diarrhoea, cook millet poridge. Millet poridge is good in curbing diarrhoea and it helps to keep your intestines hydrated. Just eat plain millet poridge on the first day and next day take plain steam fish with millet poridge. Also, drink lots of water to replenish water loss. Glucose water or Isotonic drinks are advised.
