Health Scare

 I was battling pneumonia on both of my lungs for the past days. I first experienced the shortness of breath last weekend followed by fatigue and so on. I am thinking it might be Covid because most of the symptoms are the same. Its really very hard to do the normal routine and i am already grasping for my breath. Walking and talking is also a nightmare, soon i developed chills, LBM and lose my appetite. I decided to have some blood tests done, ECG, Xray, Aterial blood gas and RTPCR or swab test for covid 19. I am really nervous and the psychological effect of these symptoms are just traumatic. I hold on to prayers and i got my strength from my family here and there for support. My covid tests turned negative thanks God but both of my lungs had pneumonia. I thought that i will be relieved of the results but it turned out its just the start of my grueling experience. For two days i don't have sleep at all and i have to vomit and go to the toilet every 30 minutes. The toilet became my room literally and i have to push a spoon on my tongue to vomit more. My rib cage and back is sooo painful because of the unending travel to my toilet sanctuary. I sleep on my couch in a sitting position to avoid vomiting. My stomach stops accepting foods & water and my knees & muscles are trembling. My ordeal is not yet over because it takes a while to treat pneumonia. I just hope and pray that antibiotics will work well on me. I am really grateful for my family who are there for us, maybe God has decided for us to live here for family support. The number of covid cases with the new omicron variant is still increasing. We really need to be careful and follow health and safety protocols. Being fully vaccinated is a big help and most of all prayers & love of family is very important in these difficult times. Prayers to those who are suffering like me...
