How Steemians Made Me Feel Healthy Again

source

I heard the clock tick for the umpteenth time.

It chimed every time it hit an 'o clock.

I knew it was time to get up.

I had been lying on the same spot for far too long.

As I rolled over to get my feet on the floor.

The sudden surge of air almost swept me off my feet.

I was losing strength.

My temperature was high enough to make warm an ice water and the pounding on my head was like the pounding of yam on a mortar.

Only this time, my head became the mortar.

I struggled to put on the dress that lay flat on my bed.

And it felt like I could hear sounds....

Go now, go now. Save yourself.

I stepped out of the house looking like an half baked bread 🍞 just out of an oven and headed straight there....

"I need you to run a test on me"
I said to the lady in white robes as soon as I stepped in.

I thought I was going to faint but she asked me to take a seat, taking me by the hands....

She screamed as soon as she touched me.

"How long have you been like this?"
She asked and I looked on at her, that kind of look that says nothing but means everything....

She quickly ignored every other person and made to attend to me.

What's your name?

Juliet

I replied and she went ahead to ask other necessary questions until she was satisfied.

I don't know how long it took but as I put my head down to ease the pounding on the head, I think I slept off.

"You have typhoid and you should use these drugs so you can get better.
In case you don't get better after 3 days, you may have to visit the hospital"

My eyes bulged at the mention of hospitals

I've never liked hospitals for any reason and this is why I'm still down.

Although, my stubbornness contributed to it.

But I'm thankful to the many Steemians who kept insisting I went for a test instead of giving myself self treatment based on assumption.

She handed me the drugs and I gave her an awry look and stepped out.

"Why would she tell me about hospitals?"

I said within me....

Hate me not, I've had a very bad experience with hospitals when I was a child and it still haunts me.
Don't worry, I'll save you the details.

As I walked down 🚶the not so long route which had all of a sudden become so long to me, my mind pondered on what I was going to have before using the drugs.

There was no appetite.....

But then, I remembered @zizymena had told me earlier in the day that cucumber 🍆 makes her feel hungry and @oyinoza also told me to eat plenty of bananas 🍌

I decided to go for both 🤷🏻‍♀

As soon as I got home and did the needful, I picked my pen and paper and set to write down a few things only to be awoken by the crow of the fowl 🐔downstairs which made me remember @gallantmayor.

I had fallen asleep with the pen in my hands. 😴

I decided to resume work this morning instead of staying at home because...

• To prove that I am strong and being the fighter I claim to be, I have to show up, despite the pains.

• Secondly, being at home alone is so boring. There was no one to talk to, save the cockroaches and ants which for reasons unknown, bickered each time I made to say an "innocent hello"

Thanks so much to @surpassinggoogle with the @teardrops initiative
