    Unexpected visitor on my face

    I woke up in a morning and found I have some rash on my face right under my left eye. The rash is king of new thing to me. It looks in red color around the white centre and it's a bit aching when I press it with some strength. However, my incorrigible optimism has convinced me that I'll be alright, an in hence, I didn't take the rash as a very big deal and ultimately lead to delay of treatment.

     

    2 days later on June 14th (Saturday), I decided to go to see the doctor went to Zhongshan Hospital with Joey and Wendy's company. Before I join in the long queue to register, I went to the service counter but told by the nurse that the dermatology department only functions in the morning. Then 3 of us walked in the pouring rain and went to another hospital, disappointingly, the dermatology department is out of the service hour.

     

    Then we went to "Gu Yu Gai Gu", a chain restaurant serve delicious bone soup for hot pot. I didn't have good appetite and I started worry about the rash. We mainly talked about relationship and job hunting at that time. Wendy has a desire to get a new job in trading business and Joey has resigned from DHL and got several new offers. My plan is to quit my job at the end of this year and go to another city for my 2nd job.

     

    The next morning on June 15th, I went to the Provincial People's Hospital and make a reservation for a dermatologist at 3PM. Without much ado, the doctor saw the rash and diagnosis that I got an infection by a microorganism due to poor immunity of my body. Then he prescribed some medicine to me and I felt very low due to his remark: This rash would stay in your body for a considerable period of time and it has a high recurrence rate. You should eat good food and rest more to make sure it won't recur on your face. What can I say???!!!

    I'll exercise more and keep a good diet. Now I try to care less to make myself less guilty of choosing a d-a-m-n busy job, which is the root of all endless painful OT and terrible rash... I hate it.

    From this experience, I am happy to find almost all of my friends are truly caring about me and worry about my well-beings. I wish you all healthy, happy and fulfilled. Once again it prove that family love and friendship is very important when you are in hard time.

     

    When I turned my head and look around

    I was in a crowd of familiar faces

    I am injured and cried for help

    Almost all came up and offer your hands

    I appreciate that and I'm grateful to have you here, my friends

    Meanwhile, I can't hold my disappointment to several people

    Giving to some of the their cold reaction and and response, I learnt what selfish is

    I won’t say it to your face, but you absolutely don't deserve my friendship!
