Day 9 on chickenpox drama. i decided to share how sucks it was. haha. It’s definetely not an inspiring story but for all the drama queens who haven’t got chickenpox, u’d better read it. got some facts in green some tips in pink (come on girls, u can get it anytime, anywhere from anyone; even from ur boss! haha)
so my chicken pox story started with excepting the reality - it hurts! halah! sebelumnya i had 2 weeks of parno since i happened to be in the same car and sit next to my boss yg blom sadar klo kena cacar. it was just one night! just one night!! - damn! I’m such a drama queen.
fact #1: chickenpox is extremely contagious justru at the early stage when one doesn’t even realize he had it. the only way bisa lolos cuma bergantung sama kondisi badan kita, so makan deh vitamin c banyak2.
2 weeks later, mulai muncul bentol2 kecil kayak jerawat tp rasanya panas. i went to a stupid doctor yang gak tau itu apa. the next day, bentol2 makin banyak so i went to another doctor who said it ‘IT’S CHICKENPOX!!’ then he made it sound like it’s not that bad ‘gak apa2, cuma seminggu jadi kan bisa istirahat sampe lebaran’, minum obat teratur, pake salepnya and what ever u do just don’t scratch it. but believe me it was much worst than that!
fact #2: bentol2 cacar air jaman sekarang do not necessarily gede dan ada airnya. when u feel the fever dan ada bentol2 panas, just go right away to a GOOD doctor, ocrey?
day 2&3 were the worst of all! bentol2 keluar banyak banget all over ur boday. guateeeel buanget. these days was the moment u realize how easy it is to lose the physical beauty - how u always love your skin though it was not the fairest of all, walaupun belangnya belom ilang gara2 kerja seharian panas2 - now it’s just so gross! then u also miss ur own smell - i used to smell warm vanilla sugar, now it’s just dettol and lactacyd (the blue one! not the pink one!).
those 2 days, u can forget about good sleep though u desperately need it. gak mungkin lah tidur enak klo sambil gatel2. so, just start the DVD marathon. I finished ‘the OC’ season -marissa is the biggest drama queen ever! mati aja mesti segitu dramatisnya di akhir season 3 (I bet Ryan won’t go to berkeley, seth and summer won’t go to Rhode Island, hey if they all go then why they call it the OC anyway?). i finally watch completely season 1 of one tree hill.
tips #1: daripada nonton banyak film lepas, mending nonton tv series. supaya bisa lebih lama fokus ke hal lain dan sedikit melupakan how gross u are. skr film2 lama banyak dvd nya kok di ambas. gillmore girls, er, dll. film taiwan (the hospital 40 episode, kenyang deh lo!), trus ada princess hours 24 episode.
On day 4, a friend recommended a specialist doctor which ‘disuntik langsung kering’ . the medicine cost me a fortune but the next day i woke up with ‘i can’t believe it, langsung kering!’
fact #3: dokter umum memang bisa juga ngobatin cacar air, tapi when u find bentol2 on the first day, u’d better go to a specialist!
fact #4: jaman emang udah canggih so skr banyak car dan obat untuk meminimalisir penderitaan cacar air, katanya di RS besar ada obat invusnya, cacarnya gak akan nambah banyak.
tips #2: klo ada temen atau keluarga yang kena cacar, sering2 SABARI (periksa badan sendiri) klo ada bentol2 dan demam buruan ke dokter kulit, jangan telat.
Day 5-7 is boooooring! gak demam, bentol2 udah kering but u still have to stay in ur room. TV series are not that interesting anymore then u started to miss ur social life. as crazy as it sounds, i miss gossiping with my family walaupun yg digosipin dia2 aja then as crazy as it sounds juga, i miss the office!! and the people! but not the boss! (hey, he’s the one who give me the chicken pox how can i miss him? huehe)
Day 8-9 can’t stand not to get in touch with the world. so hit the internet! say hi to everyone at YM then catch up with the office gossips, works left. ternyata enak juga dikangenin orang2 hahaha
then i found an important fact again about chicken pox
fact #5 once u get chicken pox, it will stay there as antibody jadi jarang bgt org yg kena 2 kali. buat perempuan klo udah pernah kena, anaknya akan dpt antibody itu dari ibunya jadi selama 1 tahun anaknya gak akan kena chicken pox.
tips #6: waktu udah kering, pake salep yang akan mempercepat pelepasan kering2 itu, jangan pernah dikopek2 sendiri karena itu yang bikin bolong. anyway, kalaupun bolong not to worry since ada suntikan yang bisa bikin naik lagi.
so, all the 9 days drama - physically and socially - will protect my future child for a year… so worth it! so drama queens, klo belom kena chicken pox u’d better get it! hahaha
