Nursing my Illness Lately...

I’ve been battling different kind of illnesses a month ago. It sucks… Dyspepsia or indigestion was not a big joke. I thought I’d die of pain. But since I wanted to get well for my family, especially to my 5 and 12 year old kids, I went to see a doctor for a checkup. They prescribed meds for my tummy ache and told me to refrain from eating meat, poultry or dairy food for the meantime but eat only foods high in fiber or anything soft, soup included. From the result of my cbc, it was found out I had also UTI so the doctor prescribed antibiotic. I guess that explains why I suddenly experienced chills anytime of the day or worst, at dawn. 

I also thought I swallowed fish bone because it had been weeks since I felt ‘funny’ in my throat. But when I could not take it any longer, I went and see an EENT specialist. There he told me that I had pharyngitis and allergic rhinitis and it’s already chronic. I felt bad for myself knowing that in just 2 days, I’ve had these kinds of illnesses. But since I aimed to get well, I bought all the prescribed meds by the doctor. Anti-allergy medicine is now a must in my life... 

Anyways, I was glad that in a week’s time, my indigestion disappear but I had a big fear on this illness that I refrain from eating more than I could take and I also refrained from drinking soft drinks. However, there were times that I experienced stomach pain and it turned out to be gas but it was still quite painful. Thinking about my young kids scares me because I know I am not yet ready to depart in this world. Who would take care of them especially my youngest child who is quite delayed with her speech? I really prayed so hard to make me well because of my children. I gave up everything for them, didn’t even work to focus on them and I’m their only sole caretaker, I never hired a yaya or a helper for 5 years so imagine if I get sick. I pray that the Lord will always guide me and help me get better. Even today I pray that everything’s going to be fine, that all of us are free from dreaded illnesses and diseases and away from bad incidents or accidents. These were my constant prayer every single day. And I pray, that the Lord will not get tired of hearing my daily prayers.
