Be healthy....

6月に入り、雨が降るのか降らないのか?という天気の中、私は急性声帯炎で一週間苦しみ、声はすっかりお相撲さんかオネエか?と行った状態。
予防も兼ねて、喉の調子がすこーしおかしくなった時点ですぐに耳鼻科に行ったのに悪化しまくり。。

ようやく声がマシになったかなー?と思ったところで咳まで出てきて、再び耳鼻科へ行くと、先生も困ったのか「鼻からスコープ入れましょう」と!
ひーーーっっ!
私の鼻の穴はまん丸で、それはそれはスコープ投入に適しているように見えますが、実際、鼻腔はかなり狭いのです。以前、鼻から入るという小さめの胃カメラを鼻から入れたのですが、鼻の奥が狭く結局それを口から入れた経験があるのです。。

そんなことをほのめかし小さな抵抗はしたものの、結局半ば無理矢理突っ込まれ、スクリーン映された自分の鼻から喉の様子を見るの事になったのですが、これが意外に興味深い様子でした!人体の様子が見れる(?!)のはもちろんの事、あからさまにどこが悪いのか分かるので納得しやすいし、色んな説明もしてもらえるのでとても面白い。。痛いんですけどね。。苦笑

結局気管支炎になっていたようで新たに薬を頂きました。
だいぶ咳も声も落ち着いてきてホッしています。

最近は色々とあって、健康について真剣に考えさせられます。。
30代の折り目ももうすぐ迎える中、健康でいる事はありがたい事なんだなあ。。と。

それにしてもロンドンに住んでた頃はあんまり病気とかしなかったな。。
若かっただけ???

とりあえず早寝早起き、うがいと手洗い!

I've been ill since the beginning of the month…
The weather is unstable like London's which mean we have enough moisture in the air…. but it wasn't enough for my throat... I got Chorditis and lost my voice… well actually I could talk but it sounded AWFUL!! -like a Sumou wrestler!
Of course I went to see a doctor at the very beginning and after a week my voice became almost normal but then I started coughing!

Not nice at all, had to go back to see the doctor again…
Then, what he told me was "Let's see your throat by inset the camera though the nose!"
Noooooooooo, that was the last thing I wanted to hear… since I had a bad experience of swallowing a gastric camera :(

I know as my nose hall are so round and seems perfect to put something in but NOT! Actually my nasal cavity is so narrow and it's quite difficult…
I mentioned that but it didn't work, and the camera was in my nose…
But actually it's quite interesting to see the inside of your body. The doctor is also explaining what's going on around my throat so very clear to understand your body condition. Even tho it's pretty painful…

So what I had now is Bronchitis, he gave me another tablets and my cough is getting better :) Good.

Lately I had lots of happenings which made me think about our health condition seriously.
It's very important to look after yourself and be healthy...

I miss the time when I was in London, didn't go to see doctors that often... I am getting old?!

Fummm, early to bed and early to rise, washing your hands and gargle are very important indeed.
