Good night to you my readers. How was your day? How have you been these past few days? Why I ask these questions? You should read the previous posts to answer the last one.  

 So, we`ve entered the month of October now and after all that action from the sports day, I was hella tired. I mean my legs were sore from running, my arms from pulling and my voice was hoarse from shouting. Of course, I had to cheer and motivate my teammates whenever they were participating in an event. When it comes to supporting people, I consider my friends or family, I`m there one hundred. Ask anyone of them, they`ll tell you. Having such an enthusiastic and charismatic personality has helped me a lot especially after what's about to happen. I tried to rest but unfortunately my sinus had other plans. My sister and I were plagued with runny noses and high fever. 

The day after my flare up, things cooled down a bit, literally. With the fever and sniffles gone the next day, I had a hankering for chow. Again, my sister shared my sentiment and we set off for the ingredients. We made our way to a pommecythere tree that grew not far from our home. As we walked, I noticed that my legs were still throbbing. “Probably still sore, huh. I did do a lot for the sports.” I said to myself. I was asked to participate in any event I was eligible to and I really overworked myself that day so I expected some repercussions. We neared the tree and I felt like if I walked a kilometer. It took while to get the pommecytheres as my legs protested every climb I made and the trip home was even more grueling. I sat and tried to rest while we prepared the chow. Once she heard my plight my sister reluctantly played the part of *go for* to assemble the other ingredients and did the clean-up. I spent the rest of day doing nothing barely moving in hopes that it would alleviate the soreness.

 The next morning, I had difficulty getting out of bed and by next day the pain had become more intolerable. My mom spent the night trying different remedies in an attempt to ease my aching feet, which were now ice cold. She demanded that I visit the health center, on my way I lost my phone and had a seizure while upon arriving at the center.  

 I was rushed to the Sangre Grande General Hospital, the doctor stated that my feet appeared “dusty with white toenails” and were showing signs of Peripheral Arterial Disease. A disease that causes narrowing of the veins thus reducing blood flow, usually in the legs. With my mom and little sister as company, I spent the night at the hospital and was discharged the next morning to be treated as an outpatient. An assortment of meds which included blood thinners and pain killers was given to me. The other medication my mother had to purchase as the hospital didn’t have them. 

 That weekend, things was manageable until Monday when there was no longer any feeling in my feet except pain. So, back to the health center but by now I could no longer move on my own and needed help from my family. When the doctor at the center sent us back to Sande Grande, they had to carry me at times during the trip.  

 I`ll end here for now. The next post is the last for the assignment but like I said, I`ll be continuing this blog after that and I do hope you`ll stay and read some more. Thank you for your time and I hope you enjoy the rest of your day or night, whenever it is you read this, and be safe out there.
