It still is a bit unbelievable the moment I'm writing this. You see, I was having a bar of chocolate at 5 in the morning the other day and suddenly there was some kind of feeling at the intersection between my upper teeth and my jaw. I don't know how to describe the feeling but it's something that is somewhat usual to me when I'm eating something and it usually go away in just minutes. It still didn't go away by the time I went out shopping in Jalan Masjid India with the rest of the family and it got worse when I had my lunch. It was swelling and getting bigger when I chew something. My first thought of it was that it could be an infection in my jaw and all the way to the back of my right ear (yes, that big).

"Oh boy, not IJN again. I just got out from IJN a month ago from the quarantine", I thought to myself. But this swelling has to be checked and the next thing I knew, I was waiting alone (they all had to go back because Faira Sofea was getting cranky) for 4 hours just to have myself checked and the result turned out the doctors didn't know what could be the problem for my jaw pain. I wasn't having fever and I'm feeling super fine and I just got back from kilometers of walking.
(You know how shopping at Jalan Masjid India can be). So, that was one symptom down. On the phone, Dato' Chew however suggested me to go and see a dentist. "Yeah, it has been almost 4 years since I last saw a dentist and got my teeth checked", I thought again. I got back home with the pain still in my jaw.

Yesterday morning, mom and me went to see a dentist to get it checked. It turned out that my wisdom tooth on my right jaw was the one causing this miserable pain. Before that, for your information, this wisdom tooth of mine has been there for almost a year already if not more and it has not been causing me any problem. Usually when a wisdom tooth wants to grow out it would cause an intense pain and usually has to be extracted out and sometimes people have to resort to surgery because of its complications, like my dad. Well for my case, I didn't really realize it because probably the pain from the wisdom tooth had been combined with the pain of my then swelling gum. Again, for your information, swelling of the gum is one of the side-effects from taking the anti-rejection drug.

So my wisdom tooth came out and didn't cause me any pain for quite a long time and hence was leading me having a thought that I would not have to extract my wisdom tooth unlike any other normal people with this wisdom tooth problem. I was wrong and it did cause me problem and my wisdom tooth had to be extracted that day. It was such an uncomfortable experience having the extraction of a tooth. I was even comparing it with the pain from my biopsy to see which one is the most painful and uncomfortable. So, that pretty much explains why its still a bit unbelievable to me having my wisdom tooth extracted.

I went through an intense high fever when I got home due to the pain from the extraction. Now this is what I'm afraid of all. The fact that my body can't really tolerate high pain even though I've been through God knows how many pain before this makes my body weak and me having fever.

I can't really eat and Raya Aidil-adha is coming near. Guess I won't be enjoying those lemangs and rendangs maybe.

It's just a couple minutes more till I finally turned 19. Oh wait it's already 26th of November 2009.

Haha. Happy 19th Birthday Fikri.

Its day 2 in quarantine peeps. So far everything's going just great, almost. Alhamdulillah to that. My fever never went back up again since admitted. The blood and urine test are back and both are clear just that there's some infection detected with the blood test with a bit of high grade. Not sure if I mistakenly heard that from the other doctor. Got to check it out with Dato' Chew later.

My activity here in this large quarantine room is quite monotonous since day 1. Planning on revising for exam or I'm finished with boredom in this room. Met with Dr. Ezani yesterday and he said, "Enjoy this prison..". What kind of word is that? I jokingly answered, " I'll get out from this room, you'll just see" and he answered back " Nurse, lock the door after this". Great, add some more weight on the already troubled head of mine..

The worse part of all they didn't even take the time to explain to me that I'm actually in a quarantine. I heard a baby crying the first night here and I went out to check it out just to find a nurse telling that I'm not supposed to come out from the room because I'm in quarantine. Now why didn't they tell me this one important thing earlier?

That's all for day 2 in quarantine guys. See ya.
