Sick...... ..... .....

Over the weekend, Mr China thought his is superman and his body is akin to wolverine's ...... for he battered it so badly that the physcial decided to gave up and rebeled.... BIG TIME....

Let's recap the "Foolish-ity" of Mr China

Slpt less than 6 hours for the whole week
Stress up / burden over week, rest hasnt been there

Saturday - did 2.5hours of training. 90mins of running including some intervals. Ran in singlet and shorts in single digit temps... yes... Mr China felt invicible rounding the track in that cold...
Feeling superb, he decided to venture to some far place for dinner , in only his tracksuit. Nearly froze to death outside, after the heat and all from the body is lost. Got back home, turn on all the heater, drank plenty of hot water and "overheated" himself, such that he need to switch to drinking cold water to cool his body down. Not to mention the rubbish heaty stuff that he ate.
Superman, he felt... the worse is to come...

Sunday - did an easy 30-40mins run , spot his favourite noodle stall. ate his breakfast and walked back. F. Cold. Froze.

Went to colleage's home for lunch, had fun.

Evening - decided to do a double and Mr China went for a 2nd run. a Harder 1hr plus run. Felt very powerful........ came home , showered and dinnered. Everything felt ok. But body started to feel cold at 7pm. Decided to ignore it as he has always felt cold , who doesnt in this crazy winter?

8pm - things doesnt feel right , his colds and feet are icey cold , his body is aching all over and body is rebelling

decided to head to bed. dressed usually, but felt very very cold. then he decided to take the following measures: centralised heating system on, on the electrical heater, dressed in 2 layers, wrapped in wool jacket , wrapped with another thick blanket. But he still feels very cold, esp fingers and feet.

It was madness , Mr China , felt headache coming on, difficulty breathing, he felt terrible , on the other end compared to 2 hours ago , when he went for another run. He is truly regretting for battering his body.

It was a mad struggle for 2 hrs before Mr China fell aslp. It was so much pain, that he rolled and screamed in bed, truly a mad torture, to be ill , alone in this foreign land in winter. He felt like dying....

That is only the 1st part, he had "over heated" himself ....... awoke at 1am due to soaring body temperature of 39-40 deg cel. within the blankets, it felt like a sauna. He quickly turn off the heaters , even switch it to fan, cooling system. Took alot of measures to cool down the body. It was madness, Mr China felt burning, couldnt walk properly and tumble around the house to get water, towel , medicine, etc......

For the next 2 days, it was similar struggles as Mr China kept himself at home. Please remember that it is winter out there and Mr China struggles to get food out there. He struggles outside the streets in the cold , while his body burns to feed himself. it was all not so good.

Until wed night, he has a soaring temp of 40 and rising that he couldnt take it. called his colleague and rushed to the hospital......... the hospital here is amazing ... simply amazing. just a different healthcare system... shall talk about it in a next post.

Mr China here is now well and about. His experience: ill , alone , in winter , made him appreciate things back home much better. But this episode made him stronger too, but doesnt kill him , make him stronger.....
