Diary of a Student-Teacher #Week4Day16

It's a day I should be greeting you all with beautiful pictures of myself at my duty post and maybe while engaging my students, but unfortunately, it isn’t so because I couldn’t go today. Here is what happened…

Yesterday, I started feeling a bit of uneasiness in my stomach and tiredness then gradually, a mild fever set in. I took my laptop to do a couple of work but I just could not. I tried repeatedly and it still failed then I resolved to just rest my head.

When I woke up, I notice the uneasiness in my stomach had become intense. I really didn't eat anything strange to have triggered that. My sister got some medicine for me, I took it and got some relief for that moment. Yeah, It was for that moment because what came after was way more than I had expected.

When I woke up, I realized my body had already heated up. Breathing was almost impossible. My muscles were so weak. I didn't know what was happening to me and I was so scared. I manage to get myself to a private clinic close to my house and the nurse I met told me there was no one to attend to me and that I should come back the following day. I went back home frustrated and with my eyes almost filled with tears.

This morning, I called one of my friends to come over and assist me to get to the hospital. My mom came along too. at the hospital, it was a long process but we actually made it through. I saw the doctor and he prescribed some drugs for me.

It actually has been better since I started taking my medication; the shortness of breath had reduced, the fever had subsided except that I experience this weird weakness after a few minutes of swallowing the pills.

I did call my group leader to let her know I would not be able to make it to school today due to my health condition. But that doesn't stop the fact that I am totally sad to realize I am sick on a Monday and I cannot report at my place of assignment because I am not strong enough.

I also feel so bad because I could not attend an international Women’s Day event which I was meant to be one of the panelists.

meanwhile, I am a bit better and I’m taking all the rest I need.

I hope I am able to make it tomorrow to school.

Tell me, how did your day go?
