I am sick again

This year is an auspicious year for Ox, many feng shui masters said that during the new year.  But I don't think it is for me.

It has not been a good start for the new year and I still did not take good care of my health.  I am sick again, this time is HFMD, hand-foot-mouth disease.

Nah, this is the condition of my hand and foot.
     

Scary ... my body is supposed to recover from this automatically, but it did not.  Yesterday, I went to the hospital for followup, it seems my medication to suppress my immune system was the cause (I am a lupus patient).  The doctor stop the medication temporary to allow HFMD to recover, before resuming the dosage.  I will need longer time to recover from HFMD.  In the meantime, I need to quarantine myself, don't go out and spread the virus.  It is nice that the doctor gave me 13 days medical leave to rest and recover.  I really need the rest.

I must really take care of my health.
