, it's been 3 days since I last wrote to you…

And a lot has happened within the days.

I was supposed to write to you on Tuesday,

But classes happened, (I had back to back classes, from 10am- 6pm),

Yeah! I might not really have an excuse with this, I could have written in the morning when I woke up but…

Then during the last class,

My lecturer did a very funny thing and the aftermath of what he did made me take responsibility for my department…

(because my class rep and assistant class rep decided it was best for them to go home)

And in the course of taking responsibility, I ran to meet up with the lecturer so as to submit the attendance…

Due to this running, I felt very sick immediately I stopped…

Like a hot scorching sun, my throat and lungs were on fire (I could literallyyyyy not breath well and due to the fact that I have symptoms of Asthma, it was even worse).

As if that wasn't enough for the day, there was no real food in the belly.

(I took tom brown in the morning, then, gala and a drink around 5 in the evening)

To cap it all, My stomach decided that the best time to show itself was "after the run and the pain I felt in my chest".

I had a very severe pain to the point that I couldn't walk well, stand well nor sit comfortably.

Due to this, my friends had no choice but to take me to the health center.

And guess what!?

After thorough examinations, 2 injections, admission, thorough examinations again…

I needed to go for an abdominal scan, lol.

And the results!?

I'm sick. I have appendicitis and abdominal hernia (my appendix are inflamed and I have 2 large openings in my navel and these things are the causes of the severe pain in my stomach)

Lol, there's also a 50/50 chance I would be undergoing surgery.

Wow! What a life.

That's not all, I have a sore tongue, a swollen gum and pains all over my body.

After the whole saga and all, I was asked to come home so I can get the treatment in Lagos.

On getting home, my mom told me my brothers were robbed in their new apartment (all the people staying there were robbed)

Their gadgets were collected, (the brother I followed was able to hide his own phone and system so his wasn't collected)

They were beaten with the dangerous materials the robbers brought along and their place was literally destroyed.

To cap it all in all, I don't know when I will return back to school.

Isn't that great!?

Of course, it is.

As much I really just wanna cry and shout and scream,

I can't because I know these times will pass.

Yes! I understand it will

But is it painful!?

Absolutely yes!

Will I die!?

Of course not!!!

Is there a lesson for you!?

I don't know.

But thank you for allowing me to write to you about this.

It means a whole lot.

I will write to you as soon as I can.

I'm sorry this is coming late, I've been on bed rest since I got home.

To even press my phone is discomforting.

But I will soon be fine. I promise by God's grace.

Enjoy the rest of your evening.
