I woke up yesterday feeling a bit ill. During the previous night I had jolted up multiple times with my stomach in knots and bubbling with pain. Two days ago I had some acute punches of discomfort in my lower stomach, but I didn’t think anything of it. Yesterday it was a consistent throbbing that led to some good ol diarrhea. I still went to school hoping it would dissipate a bit after eating some breakfast and drinking a lot of water. The day lined up to be more of the same as earlier this week, except I was proctoring class 4 exams.
I was glad to be sitting down in a room of quiet students all day—if I was up and moving around it would have been brutal. Throughout the day I was taking a leave to the bathroom about every hour, so it was good I didn’t have anything to attend to.
I was super fatigued, because my meals weren’t sticking with me, so it was hard to do much of anything. I was relieved when I learned I didn’t have to go with the bus route because another teacher was able too.
I got home last night around 5:45 and slept until dinner time. Dinner was some delicious fish and Ugali, although I only had a small bit because I didn’t want to push my stomach. I was lucky to find a sprite in the fridge (the family is always offering me soda and I like to be healthy and say no, but this time I was practically begging for it).
I went right to bed after dinner, completely drained. I woke up this morning still with a bit of digestive issues, but I have more energy so that’s good. I’m hoping the sickness will pass today because we have sports and games which I don’t want to miss out on!
