A world without sickness…

Being healthy is totally underrated. Waking up every morning and knowing that every part of your body is fine and in good shape is a big flex. You don't need to take any medication, you do not need to take multiple trips to the hospital as you are completely fine and you are at liberty to do whatever you want to do, if you currently belong to this category, congratulations you are so lucky.

I think most of us are not as grateful about good health as we ought to be. I'll tell you for free, having good health is having wealth on its own. Not thinking of any medication you have to take, or feeling any form of pain is bliss.

While having breakfast today I couldn't help but reflect on my life. As I reflected on my life I felt so sorry for people who are always falling ill. Other than the financial implications the pains and stress that come with being sick and going to the hospital is nothing to write home about. The medications, the various tests, procedures and so many other things involved in trying to be healthy again are painful and exhausting and no one should have to go through all of that.

I fell ill last week and trust me the last couple of days were tough, and it was worse since I was the only one at home. I can’t believe how I moved from being a happy child and the life of the party to being a complete shadow of myself and till today I am still surprised at how much this illness knocked me off.

Every morning and evening I stare at the different drugs I need to put into my system and I just want to lay down on the floor and cry my eyes out or better still run away but I will end up undoing myself.

Thinking about how I have felt these few days I can't help but be more grateful as the symptoms that came with the sickness were terrible. The fever, the loss of appetite, watching people eat your favourite meal and not being able to join in, the generalized body weakness and pain, and not to forget how nauseous I felt and how pale I looked. It felt like a bad dream that I just wanted to wake up from but this dream took a while.

There's another part of being sick that I hate and that is going to the hospital. I hate going to the hospital as I hate everything that goes on there except the part that has to do with bringing babies into this world, I hate the smell of drugs and antiseptics, I hate the sound of groaning sick people and the sound of the wailings of people who have lost their loved ones as this breaks my heart. Despite hating the hospital I had to make several trips there and each day that I did I felt a certain way.

Can’t we all be fine, healthy and continue with our lives without having to break down or go to the hospital for various checkups and diagnoses? Can’t we all live as much as we want and die whenever we are tired of this world? I wish all of these were possible but sadly all these are my wishes and if wishes were horses beggars would ride.
