FOOD POISONING [Part 2]
Just some updates... Waking up to take my pills.
Was admitted on Tuesday into TTSH and discharged on Wed... Thereafter, had an unusual rashed outbreak for the first time in my life. From my head-face-body & all the way to my feet on Friday afternoon. It worsen on my way to Serena's CG.
Made a turn to TTSH again, and was admitted the 2nd time in 3 days. Reason for outbreak? Unknown. Clever doctor said it might be food allergy. Well done... I'm on porridge diet. Don't think I'm allergic to that...
Anyway, he tried injecting some drugs into me that caused me to fall unconscious. According to Serena, he frantically pushed me into some Op Theatre to give me treatment leaving her stranded all alone outside (typical drama scenario...)
After some time, I got better but had to stay overnight for observations. Was discharged on Sat morning. However, the outbreak came back in the afternoon and was worse than the day before. Consulted an expert medical friend and she advised us on going to a GP instead and get some better, stronger medicine. She also mentioned that for rare cases of food poisoning, pple might develop rashes.
After visitin the GP and consuming the "4th generation" rashes medicine, the rashes started to get better & exactly as the doctor said, my rashes becamebetter by night-time and totally gone the next morning (Sunday).
Went to Church... thank God I didn't feel like having diarrhoea mid-way through svc. Had to sit next to the toilet in view of the possibility. Going to Church always makes me feel good, although I wasn't feeling well. Really looking forward to a speedy full recovery.
After S4 yesterday, felt burdened for a number of things... Just wanna recover and start contributing asap. September has been a month of 10 days of MC... 5 visits to the doctors (8 if I include Serena's) and 4 days admission in the hospital. I'll get back at the devil in Oct!
Running for God,
Kenneth

FOOD POISONING
First of all... apologies to all those who have messaged me without receiving my replies... I was on the hospital bed and I had like 20 over unread sms(es)... Too weak to read or reply them then...
More detailed diagnosis of the food posioning:
A blood test showed that I have unusual high white blood cells' count for a food poison case. & another blood test showed that I am poisoned (I was thinking... what a redundant test).
I have been having diarrhoea for like... 38 times as of now (26/09/08, 2pm). Thank God my vomitting has stopped. I'm visiting the toilet every once in a while. The toilet seat has become my good friend.
Thank you all - for your prayers. Hope to recover soon!
Thanks Nat, for standing in through all the admin and "INTENSIVE" stuff. lol
My caring parents who drove me around and to the hospital eventually...
& for a wonderful wife who kept praying for me + was my private nurse at night
God is my Healer!

God's wonderful Word
Brain teaser: One of the great puzzles of Genesis is this: Where did (unknown) get his wife?
Answer: Cain, son of Adam and Eve. Genesis 4:17 refers to Cain’s wife, but readers wonder where she came from, seeing that the only people on earth (or at least the only ones mentioned in Genesis) were Adam, Eve, Cain and Abel. The usual explanation-not that it satisfies everyone-is that Cain’s wife was also his sister, a daughter (whose name is not disclosed) of Adam and Eve.
The above question and answer was taken from the book “The Complete Book of Bible Secrets and Mysteries” by J.Stephen Lang, which I have borrowed from NLB lately in an attempt to learn more about the Bible. Is your mind boggled now? Mine was. After reading Genesis for a few times, I never ever ponder too much about the origin of anyone in the Bible and coming across this question does make me realise that there is much more to God’s Word, the Bible that we do not know about.
God’s Word is indeed amazing. Sometimes we read of things like dragons, the mysterious Leviathan [as described in the book of Job] or even unicorns [only in older versions of translations]. The main issue is the original language of the Bible is Hebrew and it is notoriously difficult to learn and translate even after many centuries [Thank God for translators and our translated versions of the Bible]. Thus, many things are still not known to us.
With regard to the author’s answer, I don’t agree with him as certain parts of the Bible are not mentioned in chronological order. The bottom-line is, though the Bible is very mysterious, it is very literal and very easy to grasp. Instead of being bothered by parts that we don’t understand, we should be concerned with the parts that we did understand, e.g. loving God wholeheartedly and loving people fervently. The author also said that most of the Bible isn’t written in code. As for the mysteries, I feel that we should just apply Deut 29:29 in our lives whereby the secret things belong to God and we should just leave it as it is [no code-breakers required].
Meanwhile, I shall go back to Paul and his adventurous mission trips in the book Acts.
Disclaimer: The Word of God cannot be broken, is infallible and has no contradiction [2 Tim 3:16-17]. This is not a post to stir up dissension or anything but rather, this is to spark greater interest in God’s Word :)
