I never knew that a flu can put one down like it did to me. There has been a flu going around our home since Monday. My beloved was the first to be hit then the rest of us except baby girl. Am truly amazed at how she has been spared from flus. This is the second time am getting a bad flu but she has been well, thank God. However the mother hen I am , I have given her Piriton just as a precaution they say prevention is better than a cure.
Well on Tuesday evening we hardly slept because beside the flu, I had fever, body aches and a headache...what a terrible combination. My beloved could hardly sleep as he kept checking on how I was doing. At some point he borrowed Samara's thermometer and when he saw 38.9 he was not amused but somehow we made it through the night. The next day, I dragged myself to work, went to a pharmacy and was given some syrup that has really helped. I just thank God that we are able to afford medicine, I know of people who can't afford medicine and hence have to just to be strong and let the flu take its course. Uchumi benefited much from us as we bought honey and made our home made concoction of hot lemon ginger which helped quite abit. We boil water, add ginger, rosemary, lemons and once boiled, serve into a cup and add honey(some prefer it without).
So lets not take our health for granted, everyday that you are healthy, thank God, when you get sleep at night thank God. Somehow for the last few days, my mind does not shut down at night and I stay awake for a few hours and sleep comes towards morning. Am not sure whether its the medication but I sure hope so. I see my beloved deep asleep and I remind God to give me sleep, for we say he gives sleep to those He loves. Lord ,please love me.
