Problem Sleeping

I was unable to sleep well last Thur and Fri... so poor thing....

Had a bit of runny nose which turned to a stuffy nose on Thur night, couldn't breathe well and was jotted awake and crying hard as I couldn't breathe properly. All the crying and wailing made me gagged and threw up on the mattress and on poor Nai Nai... Had phlegm in my throat, and threw up my dinner and night feed... ended up Momi had to carry me for a good 1 hr before I allowed myself to be placed down on the mattress to sleep. I was cranky and difficult to please. I could sensed that Momi sat down while carrying and would kick up a good fuss about it.... Even though I finally agreed to be put down to bed, I would still wake up every now and then and cry cry cry and made Momi carry me again....

The next morning on Friday, I was taken to the Polyclinic to see the doctor and assess if I could go for my booster jab despite the runny nose. It was a terrible experience and I refused to be touched by the doctor and the nurses. Yeah, the memories of the visit to the eye specialist are still fresh in my mind. I screamed and protested the moment Momi seated me on her lap. I knew what was going to happen when the doctor approached me. Yah, I was un-cooperative throughout the examination. Jab was postponed for a week and medication was prescribed to treat my leaky nose. The visit was traumatic and I did not sleep well again that night. I would wake up crying and cling on to Momi like a helpless little chimp. Nothing soothes me and I protested when Momi sat down while carrying me. I refused Dadi's arms, preferring Momi instead. Momi had to stay awake and talked to me throughout the early morning.

Poor Dadi and Momi!!! They were so tired the next day as I was such a fuss throughout the 2 nights. Guess the visits to the doctors were traumatic and they affected my sleep. Hopefully I would get over the terrible experience and sleep well tonight.... Sheesh!!!!
