Week 50, not my favorite of all.

Should I say week 50 wasn't meant for me? It makes me sound like an ingrate because there are lots of people who wished to see this week but they couldn't because death cut their journey short.

I started this feverish feeling at the beginning of the week but I didn't let it take me down, I kept my spirit high and went around doing my things like nothing was wrong with me. On Tuesday, mom told me she wasn't feeling alright and I was expecting that because she went through too much stress for her ordination that happen last Sunday.

I persuaded her to come home but she insisted on going to the hospital at her end and I promised to care for the bills. She went and thank God it wasn't something serious, she was told to buy some drugs and rest well which means she had to come home because that's the best place for her to relax.

At midnight, my immediate brother woke me up with a call so I went to check him in his room. He was shaking on the bed and running temperature, I suggest he bathe to cool off the temperature but it didn't work out. It only made him get cold, I was scared because his illness is always very serious.

I couldn't go out so I called my nurse, she couldn't come either so she gave me the contact of her colleague and also called her for me. The person stays nearby and it would be easier for me to go pick her up before daybreak.

We spoke on phone and I went to pick her up before 5 am because I was very scared, I hate seeing people ill and when it has to do with my family, it makes me feel tired physically and mentally. She came and ran some checks for him, she administered some injections to make him feel relieved till we can get the things needed in the morning.

The treatment she gave was effective and the temperature returned to normal before daybreak, my nurse came around and insisted that we ran some tests, after everything we discovered he was having typhoid. We started the treatment immediately and he is doing very well now.

He completed his treatment today (Friday) and I feel relieved but it didn't end there. Mom came around after we returned from the health center on Wednesday, she was disturbed because of my brother's health.

I wasn't feeling good as well but I mustn't show it because it could make things worse, I begged my fiancée to come over and help me out with the cooking because I got lots of things to do at the farm and she was less busy at her place.

I didn't want mom to stress herself and my brother feels like throwing when he perceives the aroma of the soup, the only choice was to beg my fiancée and she honored the invite.

She came in the morning (Thursday) but I was busy to have a proper interaction, I was at the farm from around 3 pm to 9 pm yesterday( Thursday), she asked what we should make for dinner and I suggested swallow. My brother who was just recovering came to the farm as well but didn't stay long because of the cold and dust. He got home and texted me that there was no food at home but I was too busy to use my phone, I got home past 9 pm only for me to meet my fiancée shaking. She said her head was aching her badly that she couldn't even get out of the bed and she didn't tell me so I won't be bothered.

She was seeing the signs but didn't do anything but she couldn't hold any longer when she came around. She couldn't make the meal due to the headache.

I went to the pharmacies around but they were all closed, I returned worried and asked myself why everyone fell sick in just one week. I went out again to get dinner, it was a terrible experience because I didn't have cash and the shop wouldn't take transfers at that time of the day so I worked for over 15 minutes before I could get someone to help me with some cash while I did transfer.

I was able to get dinner and eventually didn't eat because I was too tired. The headache got worse and she had to receive treatment as well, she has been sleeping after taking injections and drugs this morning and I am glad she is feeling better.

I am just grateful to God that things weren't more than this and didn't get out of hand as well. My other two siblings didn't show up but that's not a problem because they wouldn't have been of help.

I think it would be smart for me to start my drama when they are all feeling good, don't mind me. That was a joke, I don't want needles going through my skin for the remaining days of the year. I see lots of preparation for the Xmas going on already but I haven't done anything, I still have a whole week to do the necessary things.

I hope you are preparing as well? My prayers are with my Filipino family who are experiencing a typhoon at the moment, the protection of the Almighty God will be with you all. Amen

I still feel exhausted from yesterday's stress and haven't engaged here properly but I will, wishing you all a great night.

Thanks for reading.
