WHAT A SICK EXPERIENCE!!!

Almost four weeks ago, i suffered from Urinary Track Infection which was caused by my NOT drinking enough water for so long a time (i usually drink C2 Iced Tea). For more than a week my fever was terrible as it shoot up to 40+ Centigrade; everytime my fever shoots up, i suffer from an almost hallucinatory state where i begin to imagine things and my mind just wont stop grinding aside from the fact that i felt like i was being burned at the stake! (Yes, it was really, really terrible)

And on the fifth day of my illness, i just couldnt bear it anymore and my fever shoot up to the highest and i told my mom and my cousin to bring me to the hospital. After 8 gruelling hours of waiting and some initial laboratory testing, we finally got a room. They gave me injections of liquid paracetamol to lower down my fever. Thankfully, that helped a lot. I stayed in the hospital for three days and undergone so many tests as the doctors wanted to make sure its just UTI thats actually attacking my system. Thankfully again, all my tests were okay.

BUT eventhough i was out of the hospital, the week that followed was still not too well. I still had some occassional fever attacks. Basically, i wasnt STILL feeling my topmost.

It was only this week that i began to feel that im regaining my old self again. Thank the high heavens.

CHANGES!

Obviously, due to what ive gone through, i decided to change my lifestyle and began to be more concerned about my health.

1. I drastically reduced my smoking. From my usual, gee, how many packs of cigarettes a day TO just 5 sticks per day.

2. I began to really drink 8 glasses of water per day and totally abandoned drinking C2 Iced Tea.

3. I began sleeping earlier than my usual bedtime which was around 4am then. (Now its strictly 1-130am)

4. I stopped skipping meals which i was really guilty of before i got sick.

5. I began to really eat REAL food.

6. I promised myself that i wont be drinking alcoholic beverages anytime soon OR i wont drink if dont feel like drinking or if i feel that my body isnt just conditioned to drink.

7. I began to see that i abused myself; let my work abused me; and how i allowed the people around me abuse me. (And it is to be put to a STOP!)

8. Most importantly, i began to appreciate my family more. I realized how much they love me and how greatly they treasure me. That really made an imperative impact on how i view life now and how i willed myself to change my self-destructive lifestyle.
