The families of my two sons were set to meet in the house for a lunch reunion. They ordered food from a gourmet restaurant. After sweeping the whole yard I sat down to pick some leaves off a pile of stones. When I stood up I fell on my back and hit my head hard on the raised concrete floor. So I had to sit on the floor feeling two really big bumps on my head.

When I saw my fourth son at the gate I knew I could not keep the accident a secret from him. He wanted to take me to the hospital but I assured him I was going to get well at home. I needed only a month. I made him promise to keep the accident a secret from the others; which he did.

I had to stay up as the food came and the families feasted on the food I could not eat. Anyway I was feeling more sleepy than hungry. Before they left I suffered chills with my arms shaking. Afterwards I had plenty of time to rest because I could not leave the house because of my self quarantine.
