Tuesday 29th May

On Monday we had VIP visitors from Hong Kong visiting the school and I was given the task of making folders for each visitor for the meeting in the afternoon. I worked all morning and through my lunch making these folders (12 in total) and I was so hungry I felt sick by the time I had finished by 2.15pm. I had a bite of the sandwich that I had bought for lunch and felt even sicker and could feel a headache coming on so I lay down behind my desk. I felt so ill that my boss sent me home and I slept from 4pm until 7pm when one of my friends phoned saying they had bought me a sandwich for dinner and they were outside my apartment. I still felt really sick and couldn’t eat it so I went back to bed. I had set my alarm for the next day as my visa expired today and I had to go to the visa office at 8.15am. If it wasn’t for this I would have stayed home as I felt sick every time I moved. I got to the visa office and was back at school by 10.30am and I went to see the school nurse. Now at the moment there are a few cases of hand, foot and mouth and one of the symptoms is feeling sick and loss of appetite, along with spots on your hands and feet (which I didn’t have). The nurse thought I might have hand, foot and mouth disease and wanted me to go to the hospital to see a doctor but as I couldn’t find my medical insurance I didn’t want to do that so I went home instead. I slept all day and by 4pm I felt a bit better and also hungry (I hadn’t eaten anything since Sunday) so I went out for dinner with a few other teachers for Amanda’s birthday. I was back in bed by 8pm and slept through until the next day.
