Steemit Engagement Challenge / S11W6 - "The Diary Game and your health"

designed on add text app

Hello friends!!

It's been such a long while I penned down my diary so am seeing this engagement as an opportunity for me to do so

Dear Diary,

Waking up these days to me seem really effortless. Even without the sound of my alarm I am already awake. Are you curious to know why my I wake up before my alarm?

I woke up as early as 4:30am to the sound of the street vigilante banging at the gates of residence in my street. Well this is just a strategy to get the people alert that they are at work and also to scare thieves.

Because of the continues robbery attacks on my street, the residents decided to employ the services of vigilante.

Anyways, I got into my kitchen to say my early morning prayers which normally last for 1:30 minutes. When my prayers ended. As usual, I drank one sachet of water before leaving the kitchen.

Checking the time, it was 6am, and was to early to leave the house because I needed to visit the pharmacy to know exactly what was wrong with me since I have a form of discomfort on my throat which has prevented me from sleeping well and even eating well.

I laid down on my bed waiting for the weather to get bright before leaving the house. Finally by 7:30am I left the house to a pharmacy not too far from my house. I decided to take a walk down to the pharmacy as my own form of exercise.

I got to the pharmacy and met a lady there, this was my first time of seeing here there. She was with a baby and her baby smiled at me as though we have had a previous discussion before then.

I explained to the lady how I was feeling on my throat and she told me I need to take an antibiotic drugs to help me. She gave my a prescription for the drugs and I left.

On my way home I bought something's I needed for my breakfast so that I would eat and take my drugs. I got home, boiled hot water and make a cup of tea for me self. Over here our tea comprises of beverages like milk and Milo, then with sugar or honey and hot water. I don't like sugar so I prefer to use honey or don't use anything at all.

After breakfast, I took my drugs and rested for while, then the drugs began to have an effect on me, I didn't know the pharmacist had given me a wrong prescription. I took an overdose of the drugs. Wow! How did I know? I chatted with a friend on line, he knows alot about medicine. I told him how I was feeling and he asked me how many tablets of the drugs I took. Hmm I was shocked at what he told me. I was feeling really dizzy and weak.

I slept for a very long time, when I woke up, I wanted to take my drugs but I remembered my friend told me not to take it since I took more than I was suppose to. He told me to resume back with the drug taking the next day.

I needed to relax because I was really feeling lazy to work so I took my phone to see a very interesting movie as my own form of relaxation. The title of the movie is My fault. I love movies and I love seeing them especially when I want to relax.

By the time I realized it, it was already 3pm. I needed to prepare my dinner because once it's 6pm, I dont usually eat. Am watching my weight and trying to loose belly fat. I have been on this therapy since the month of march. It wasn't easy when I started but now am use to it.

my dinner (Rice and stew with salad)

I made white rice and stew and some salad by the side to go with it. I was done cooking around 5:30pm. After eating, I felt much relief in my throat and in my body. I decided to login to my steemit wallet to see what happening. I got some notifications to reply or comment. I also voted on posts then I logged out and login into my steemit account to chat with some friends. Before you know it, it was late and I needed to go to bed for the day.

In general I had a lovely day but what I discovered about my day is that God kept me. We should be careful of the kind of places we go to buy our drugs or take medication. See how I took an overdose because of a prescription given to me. ThankGod something worse didn't happen to me. Take care of your health always.

My friends will have something to say about this challenge so I invite them @sahmie @lhorgic @mesola
