Wk 40: The Diary Game and Your Health | Taking drugs for typhoid (December 11, 2024)

Dear diary, it's another day for me to ponder on my health and how I handled it, despite the stress of life because I know of I don't take care of my health, my health will take care of me by making me end up in the hospital. But first of all, let me appreciate @aaliarubub for this contest that will help us learn from each other. I woke up by 6am in the morning and did the most important thing which was kneeling down to thank God and commit the day into God's hands. Then I went about my morning chores. Since some students are on break whole the exams classes is still going on, I decided to bathe and go to school. But I had to eat first and take my medicines. A week ago, I had symptoms of malaria, though I didn't go for test, I just bought antimalarial drugs and took, but since it didn't work, I went and reported at the pharmacy and I was asked to take typhoid drugs, so I bought it at the price of 2,800 naira, that is equivalent to the price of 7 Steem. I hate taking drugs but I had no choice than to take it so that I'll be fine. But before I took it, I took my breakfast which was made up of milk, bread and fried eggs. Apart from eating breakfast so I can take my medication, it is believed that breakfast helps fuel the energy for the day and so, since I would be spending hours teaching, I needed to take something that will support me till afternoon.

The typhoid drugs and water

Then I went to school by 8:30am where I taught for hours. We closed by 2pm.

I had worked under the sun, to and back from school. In my own way, that was my own exercise so I didn't do any other exercise. It is said that trekking improves the overall health of the body. It helps build stronger muscles and lowers risk of health problems. Tho when I reached the house, I was exhausted. It's not really easy to trek after talking and shouting hours with students. So the first thing I did was bath which made me feel refreshed, then since there was fruit in the house, pawpaw precisely, I peeled the fruit and then ate half of it. That kept me for a while tho I had the fear if it will tamper with the malaria drugs I took since it is said that one isn't supposed to take vitamin c or any fruit at all while taking malaria or typhoid drugs.

The pawpaw was sweet and refreshing

When I had rested for a while, I decided to eat real food but I also noticed that I was stressed and was feeling dizzy and also difficult to breath. So I ate fufu and okra soup for lunch and thereafter, took multivitamin and also salbutamol which will help free my lungs and help me breath better. Immediately I took it, within 20 minutes, I felt better. And then I decided to rest for a while by sleeping.

I took enough water

The drugs I took to relieve me.

It is said that water is very good for the body. Since this is harmattan period, I'm always dehydrated so I need to drink enough water to stay cool and hydrated.
