[#CLUB5050] THE DIARY GAME: 21-04-2022 | A trip to the hospital and a wakekeeping
Thursday the 21st of April 2022
Today, even though my alarm had me up at 6:00 am, I chose to sleep in for a while. The reason for this is that I had been having little sleep and full days for sometime now and I was honest to God tired. So I closed my eyes and fell asleep, with every intention of going to the hospital at 9:00 am.
When 8:30 am came around, I woke up. Despite this, I couldn't find the energy to actually get up from the bed. And thus, time turned to 9:00 am and then to 10:00 am and finally to 11:30 am with me drifting in and out of sleep. I woke up with a start as I realised I was very very late to go to the hospital.
As fast as I could, I took a bath, dressed up and left for the Regional Hospital. I finally got there about 20 minutes past noon. When I went to the imaging center, I could not be seen that day and I was asked to come the next day before 8:00 am. My spot was already secured but that wasn't the problem.
On that same Friday, I had to bring my results to the doctor and securing a spot is not easy at all. But I swallowed all I was feeling and decided to just see how it goes.
The wake keeping of my friend's grandmother was at 3:00 pm and I didn't want to go home before coming again. So I decided to waste time in town. I left the hospital and started to stroll about from Hospital Round About, Food Market and then Commercial Avenue.
I was so hungry and wanted to eat so I went to my favourite shawarma place. But then, I remembered that there was a restaurant beside the place that sold delicious affordable food. So I rather took a detour and went to the restaurant instead. While there, I took my order which was fried plantain and vegetable. While they were frying the plantain, I passed the time drinking some cold refreshing pamplemouse.
After some time, they finally brought my food. I took my time and ate my food while reading a novel. It's a bad habit that is quite hard to stop especially if I'm eating alone. It took me a lot of time and I was finally done eating at about 2:30 pm. I then requested the check which took some time to come. But I finally paid and left at about 3:15 pm.
I got to the place of the wake keeping at 3:45 pm when the mass was already in progress. I just sat down for it. When the mass was over, we were asked to stay put while they give out food and drinks. I took that time to scan for the people I was here for. I finally saw and greeted Gaby as well as Aloysia, those who lost their grandmother.
I also saw and greeted my best friend's mother as well as Gaby’s mother. After giving my condolences once again, I took for home as I was pretty tired. When I finally got home, I took a nap for some time before my mother came home. I then gave her the packet and drink I got.
Before I could forget, I took my drugs for that evening though I forgot to take them in the morning. While watching tv, I placed my phones on charge. And it was not long after that, that I fell into a deep slumber.
Thanks for reading.

Hello @ebuasang1. Thank you for the well wishes. Well, I wasn't really sick sick. I rather had a bout of extreme fatigue where I couldn't really do anything for a long time. But it's better now thank God.
