I ish back home now cos my school hash holidaysh for Deepavaliishh :D
wheeeeeshhhh!
Heesh XD
Anyhows, back to a more serious matter. This is something I thought I should conceal, for fear of well, you'll find out soon.
Just keep reading. You know I came back to my school on Monday the last time we had holidays, which was one day later than I shoul've came back. But I had my reasons of course, dentist's appointment. And the wardens knew that already [I had a letter!] So I was shocked when I heard my name was announced and called to the warden's room that night. I thought, well, maybe they didn't know about my approved letter.
But when I entered the warden's room, Ustaz Azizul [the ketua warden. Sorta like a more funny, younger, version of Mr Tan. Get wat I mean? Oh. And malay, and religious of course -.-] was like.. Okay I forgot his own words, but he was like trying to calm me down before he told me the news. I think I knew what it was about, cos the other kids said that he mentioned something about it at the surau [but I was already in my dorm by then] so yea.. then he suddenly spilled it out.
I was positive H1N1.Yeappp. Can you believe it? I knew I couldn't. It was so unbelievable, I didn't even cry. I chuckled instead. And I actually misunderstood what he said, cos later he told me that the Jabatan Kesihatan of Jasin are gonna come the next day to run some more tests. So I was like.. "So, am I really positive?" and his reply was "Setakat ni la, ye." His uncertainty lead me to one conclusion : I was only
suspected positive.
Soon after he told me that, another girl whose name was also called came in, and her eyes flooded as soon as she heard the news.
Well, it appeared as something shocking to us both as we were, at the time, not sick at all anymore. No flu, no fever, no headaches, no sore throats, nothing.
The next day, the Jabatan Kesihatan came, but not to run tests on us, but only to ask questions regarding our wherabouts, before and after we got infected. They wanted to know where we got it from, and to whom we might have spread the disease to.
That was when they told us we've recovered fully. And that we're safe now, and we don't need to worry because the virus will only attack once. Our bodies have depeloped antibodies to fight them off. So yeah.
Of the 5 people discovered to be positive, I was the only form four, by the way. There were 3 other form 5 girls, and another form 5 guy. Only Allah knows how this could be.
I find it reckless that they told us that we're positive only after the school break ended. After the
RAYA holidays, when we go
EVERYWHERE to meet
EVERYONE. I wonder who else I might have caused pain to :(
Anyway this is not a sad post. I have only told you what happened when I discovered that I was positive. I didn't tell you how it felt like to be infected by it.
It felt.. god. It started the night our UPSS 2 ended. I suddenly felt lightheaded and fainty. I thought it was only because I was tired, all those sleepless nights of studying. But I guessed wrong. That very night my temperature rose. The next day it got worse. I stayed in bed during fardhu ain, when everyone else had to clear the block and go to the surau.
My whole body ached. Say I was enthusiastic about something, the fever pulled me so down that I lost every bit of my enthusiasm for it. Malin was so sweet to have put a wet towel on my forehead to relieve the fever. That night I went to the hospital. My fever was getting better. Another girl who went to the hospital with me had to be given drips, cos her temperature was too high.
Well, little did I know I was the dangerous one.
The next week when my fever healed, but only came back occasionally, some people from the Jabatan Kesihatan came and asked everyone who had the syptoms for H1N1 to come and see them for tests. Resultantly I had to break my fast, 2 days in a row - it was still Ramadhan that time. Come to think of it, thank god I broke my fast for the test. Otherwise, I would have never known.
So yeah, I had H1N1 and recovered from it without my knowing it at all. I knew where I got it [or suspected to have obtained it from] and I knew to whom I've infected, but that matter is probably best left known only to a few people. I really didn't think it could be that at all. But now I am healthy again.
Thanks to Allah, for giving me a chance to feel the pain of the diseased.
And thanks to Allah, for giving me the blessings of health.
