Healthy morning
The other Friday (15 January 2010), I started experiencing the onset of acute gastritis which lasted until Monday (18 January 2010) morning. Adding up to the sickness hype is an on-and-off fever that signals an infection last Sunday (17 January 2010). The biggest blow came on the evening of the 18th, right after I’ve seen Dr. Walden and bought the antibiotic prescribed to me, wherein my fever reached 38.9°C at 8:00PM and stayed at that figure until 10:00PM, and the level of the pain in my throat reached 10 (10 being the highest). Drinking a glass of water was a feat, even the simple swallowing of saliva elicited pain (now imagine when I’m eating). Mommy visited me 30 minutes past 7:00PM and coaxed me in to having myself hospitalized but I did not budge, confident that the first antibiotic I drank will soon work its effect on my poor body. I’m thankful that Mylan, a college student at St. Paul University Dumaguete who lives with us, was there all the time to assist me on my needs (Thank you, Mylan!). I almost conceded that it might be a good idea after all to be hospitalized when my temperature reading only subsided to 38.8 at 10:00PM, almost. To cut the backgrounder short, my fever subsided at 2:00AM of Tuesday, I continued drinking my medication plus the womens vitamins (sic) on time and the rest is history.
I woke up this morning feeling fully recuperated. When you are sick and lying on your back on your bed resting, you can only wish you’re healthy as a horse. So this morning was full of gratefulness to God for healing me completely. I offered a silent prayer of thanks to Him for giving me back good health and made a mental note to do this every single day. Boy! You can just imagine my happiness waking up without the slightest headache, soreness of throat, and an indefinite feeling of lack of health!
