I had a cold when I wrote last week’s post. The next day, my condition still didn’t improve. When I woke up, my whole body felt heavy, and even sitting up in bed took effort. My fever didn’t go down at all, and I started to feel dizzy whenever I stood up. At first, I tried to convince myself it was just a strong cold, but something felt different from usual. I realized I shouldn’t ignore it any longer, so I decided to go to the hospital in the morning. At the hospital, I explained my symptoms to the doctor, and he suggested taking several tests, including one for influenza. While waiting for the results, I sat in the small, quiet examination room, feeling nervous, tired, and honestly a little scared. After about fifteen minutes, the doctor came back and said, “You tested positive for influenza.” I was shocked because I hadn’t expected that at all. At the same time, I finally understood why I had felt so awful since the night before. The doctor prescribed antiviral medicine and told me to avoid going outside for a few days. When I got home, I changed into comfortable clothes, took the medicine, and went straight to bed. The rest of the day passed slowly. I drank warm tea, ate easy-to-digest food, and tried to stay hydrated. Even though I felt sick, I was relieved to know the cause and to start proper treatment. Now, all I can do is rest, sleep well, and hope my body recovers soon.
