Different Birthday Experiance! (Good? Bad? I have no idea!)

Well saturday was my Birthday! Was it a good one? On the day I thought definetely not the best of Birthdays's I've had. Why?

Let me start the srory at the begining of things, I went to Rajagiriya with my mom to get some work done. Then on my way back she insisted on me getting a packet of lunch from this place, instead of me buying it from near office (my usual spot). Since I didn't like any of the curries they had I ordered a Vegitable Fried Rice. When I was going to have it my friends were like "you should not be eating so much of oil and chilli woman! you have gastrities!", but then I was too lazy to listen to them and buy a new pack. So I ate a bit and threw away the rest.

Next day when I woke up I had blisters on my knees, thought it was an insect bite, but when I started itching and scratching towards the end of the day it turned out to be a nightmare. Where I could not stop the scratiching, and my face swallen to twice the size it normally is. Turns out that I had gotten a food posoning and it lasted for three days until after my birthday, and I spent the best part of my birthday Intching and scratching and getting an injection in the hospital.

My mom made sure she took me to the temple before she took me to the hospital, how ever one wish I wanted to really come true on this Birthday was to have good health. Unfortunatly I was not that lucky. Although it did go down by the time I got home in the night, it lasted till the next day. The medicine had to be continued for two more days afterwards.

I still dont know the full capacity of the side effects both the sickness and the medication had left me, other than the fact that it improved my appitite, darkend my skin and left my feet swelling a bit (not sure if this is because of this or another sickness).

Any how, I am looking for ways and means to console my self, telling my self that:

• There is always a first time for everything (this is the first time I got sick on my Birthday)
• Everything Happens for the best (what ever good that came off this situation, I am yet to find out)
• You should always experiance the worst of situations in order to appreciate the best of them (This is for sure and I'll make sure Ill make the most of the situations when I am in good health and whine about life less)
• Birthday is afterall just another day (-_*)

All in all it was good experiance!
