My last FaceBook status update on Thursday, 29th October, read:
“Mimi feels that the flu is God’s most subtle but most effective reminder of how frail we are as humans. Not only is my nose blocked, my sense of taste is also hindered, and my left ear feels as though there’s some fluid stuck inside it.”
It’s now Monday and I’m not quite over that bout of flu yet, making me wonder if it’s just one flu virus I’m battling or multiple versions of it, considering that the fever came and went several times. (I wonder if the flu + meningitis + pneumonococcal vaccinations which I had on three separate occasions had something to do with it?)
Never before had the flu rendered me so weak for so long, filling all my nasal cavities with fluid and mucus, disrupting my sense of smell and taste, playing tricks with my sense of balance.
But the worst is over. I may still be a bit dizzy but the fever’s gone and I can breathe almost normally now. Thank you, God, for healing me.
The only question left is…will I be well enough to report for work Monday morning?
