INTRODUCTION
If you followed me on this journey so far, you will know it's been an interesting one. Having to deal with a lot of stress and discomfort and still trying to stay strong and active, but as I have always said,at the end it will be worth it.
I woke up feeling so weak and feverish, I managed to say my morning prayers and stayed back on bed for some time. I have not felt this way in a long time, so I felt it will pass, but after one our house has passed I was getting worse, hubby was already out to work,I managed to get to take paracetamol to help relieve the fever and cold, and I went back to bed. I had already lost appetite for food, which was not good for me because of my condition.
I slept off fully covered, and woke up in 2hrs time with heat all over my body, I felt relived and a little bit hungry. I got up went to the kitchen to prepare food, at this point I felt the need to have someone stay with me,to help me around the house. I already have things needed for the food,I just went to work.
Food Preparation
Ingredients:
Yam
Vegetable
Tomato
Fresh pepper
Crayfish
Palm oil
Seasoning cubes
Onion
What I prepared was white yam and vegetable sauce. Cos that was what I felt like eating.
I peeled the yam added a little salt to it and set it on fire to boil,till it was ready
Then I proceeded to preparing the vegetable sauce. I first of all chopped my fresh tomatoes, onion and vegetable, then grinded the fresh pepper and crayfish together.
I set it on fire till they are all properly combined and ready for consumption. It came out really well.
I served some into a plate to eat and regain strength because I was already feeling really weak, still struggling with my appetite.
Yam and vegetable served in a plate
I ate to my satisfaction and was full. I decide to rest for a while before the worst happened. I started feeling like throwing up, I endured it for a while but could not after some time,i ran to the toilet and vomited everything I ate, both the weakness and the fever returned. I poured cold water all over my body to get myself,had my bath and took another dose of paracetamol and later down. I called my husband to call the doctor and inform him of my state,which he did and the doctor recommended a drip for me to take,that it's malaria.
Malaria drugs
I've been on the medication and hope to be better soon. I was able to take tea later at night and went to bed with that.
