I woke up feeling very hot and cold at the same time, plus my throat is very painful.
I snuggled inside my blanket, shivering uncomfortably.
Sharmaine also woke up, and saw me, curled up into a ball and shivering.
"Isabelle, are you ok?" Sharmaine asked.
"No...I feel sick..." I replied with a sore voice.
Sharmaine checked my forehead and said: "You feel very warm! Could it be a fever?" She said.
So she got a small thermometer and checked me out, I was shivering, and after a while, the results came out...I have a high fever.
Sharmaine was shocked to see a reading so high, so she rushed to another room to make me some fever pads. She placed a fever pad on my forehead, and gave me some water to drink. "This is the best I could do for you." She said. But after a while, I felt nauseous, and wanted to throw up, Sharmaine quickly noticed, so she grabbed a bowl for me. I gave a weak smile to Sharmaine, as she grabbed some menthol ointment and rubbed it against my back. The smell of menthol made me relaxed, and I took a quick nap.
Time flew by, and I became very hungry, so I tried to find food, but I don't see any food, Until Sharmaine came to my bedside, with a bowl of tempura noodle soup and a glass of water.
"Eat up, so you will become strong tomorrow." Sharmaine said.
The next day, I felt a lot better now, so Sharmaine took my temperature to check my condition. "Your results are fine! No more fever."
My throat is still sore, and I am coughing, so Sharmaine gave me lots of water, I drank so much water that Nature called me several times in just one day. But at least it's a sign I am recovering, right?
