This Monday morning when I was having my add maths paper 1 exam, I found that there were many red spots on the back of my palm. After school I went to see doctor. That time the red spots had reduced. The doctor told my dad to take me to have a blood test to confirm whether I was down with dengue or not since there were many red spots all over my body.
After confirming that I’m positive with dengue fever, the doctor told me I had to stay in the hospital. I was very afraid that time to stay in the hospital alone. This is my second time staying in the hospital. The first time was when I was below 1 year old. I had viral fewer.
The life in hospital was no good at all. I had to carry around the sodium chloride water bag wherever I go. It made my bathing hard because I can only use 1 hand to bath & do other things. My bed was small & the room only had fans no air-cond. It was noisy too because many people staying with me in the same room. The foods were no problem, quite satisfying but the coffee was too sweet & doesn’t taste like the coffee I usually made at home.
Anyway, I was disappointed with my friends because the hospital was just behind my school but none of my friend came to visit me. I cannot blame them because to them, study is more important than friends.
After 3 days staying in hospital, the doctor told me that I can be discharged already although my platelets count was still very low. Just hope that you all will take care of yourself. Don’t get bitten by Aedes mosquito.
