Sick

Our indian sisters in the kitchen

Yesterday evening after class at 5pm I was walking back to my office when I began to shiver. I felt extremely cold and the shivers got more violent. I wore 3 jackets and barely dragged myself home 1km away. I felt really sick ... dizzy, stomach cramps ,,, and the sisters at home said I had a very high fever. I went straight to bed, covering myself in layers of blankets to sweat the fever off. And it was hot. At 10pm I woke up and felt a little better. At 2pm I woke again and the fever had subsided a little. I was feeling very weak and dizzy so I went down to make a cup of coffee. It was hot and gave me a little strength. Our sisters prepared some rice later in the morning but my nausea and cramps isn't helping my appetite.

Now I have cramps in my stomach and there's still a fever. I thought it's because it was cold yesterday and I was exhausted from work ... Mondays begin at 3am and there's no break till 5pm if I'm lucky. So probably a combination of cold, hunger and exhaustion took its toll. I'm totally out of action today. Staying in bed as my library colleagues told me not to come to work.
