The Mysterious Illness

The Extreme Illness

  It was a quiet and an exceptional Saturday.The weather was calm and peaceful.All the sea creatures were happily swimming in the big blue sea around the enormous Octopod.There was no other day like this.It was so warm and sunny.Shellington wakes up in his bed in his lab that was in the Octopod.Although it was a beautiful day for everyone,but it wasn't his best day at all.In a fraction of a second,he immediately felt very,very,very terrible and ill.He keeps on coughing and sneezing all the time.Barely having enough strength to even get out of his bed at all.Shellington gets out of bed and quickly goes to the sickbay to be treated by Peso.Peso is there in the sickbay getting ready for the day when he heard the bad news.Unpacking bandages,thermometer and other important medical supplies to treat Shellington.When Peso sees what horrible shape Shellington was in.He started asking what happened to Shellington."I don't know.I just woke up and felt really horrible with no reason how I became sick.I almost had no strength to get out bed and go to the sickbay."Shellington said to worried Peso.The penguin immediately got ready to treat Shellington.He was in a hurry,so much indeed.When he was getting the things he had forgot,he almost bumped the captain.Peso said,"Oh sorry captain.I was just in a hurry."The captain said,"What hurry.What are you going to do?"Peso didn't talk and quickly ran to his room and got the things he had forgotten.He had forgotten a lot of stuff.Peso ran to his room because he sometimes puts his medical bag in his room and forgets it for a long time before getting it back to the sickbay.However,Peso is not forgetful but he is just lazy sometimes.

 "Oh my goodness!You are in no shape of work today because you are ill."Peso said after running back from his room to get his stuff."Oh no!That's really terrible.What if we have a mission where I really need to help?I need to go with them.I'm afraid I might spread the illness to the others,and they will be sick too."Shellington worriedly said."You are sick to do anything now,even going to the HQ or the launch bay.I need you to stay in your bed until I tell you that you could get up and go to your lab."Peso orders."Fine,I'll go lay down but if they need me I have to get up and go help them but for now I will just lay down and go to sleep so I can recover really fast."Shellington said.Looking very miserable.

  Shellington was escorted to his lab for rest and recovery,a little annoyed because he was in bed bound all the time until Peso says that he could get up and walk around.Shellington laid down and Peso checked his pulse and temperature.He also looked into Shellington's ears,mouth,eyes and nose with very bright light.Peso could see that Shellington's throat was swollen,his nose was covered in lots and lots and lots of mucus and his mouth was very,very dry.His temperature was 44 degrees celsius.It was like in the Sahara desert,or even hotter than that.He had a really high and bad fever.He also had a really strep throat.That means it is very,very red.

 "Oh my goodness Dr.Shellington you are extremely sick.There is no way that you can go out on missions for at least a few days and at most is a couple of weeks."Peso said."What!!??!!How come I'm that sick!?!This is so bad!!!!What will I do now??!!If they need me,what will I do?"Shellington screamed very,very loudly and grabbed his throat in pain after."Dr.Shellington calm down,you should not be yelling with your condition.At this condition,your throat is way too sensitive for yelling and shouting at me.Now please promise me just stay in your bed until your sickness goes away."Peso said."Fine.I will just stay in bed until I am better."Shellington said.Looking very miserable.

  Shellington accepted that he would not be able to get up to work for a while.He asked if Peso could tell Captain Barnacles that he would be off duty for a couple of days and at most is a couple of weeks."Of course Shellington,the captain needs to know and you're definitely not getting up to tell him."Peso said."Thank you."Shellington told Peso as he walked out of the door."Peso walked over to the Octochute and went up to the HQ,where he saw the captain."Excuse me,Captain Barnacles?" "Yes,what is wrong Peso?" "I'm sorry to inform you but Shellington is extremely sick and there is no way he can be able to go on missions for at least a couple of days and at most is a couple of weeks." "Wow,that's a really long time, what kind of illness does he have that restricts him like this?" "He has a severe case of strep throat and high fever." "Ok then Shellington is excused from work for at most five weeks but if we do need him we will just call him."Peso returned to Shellington's lab to tell him about his excuse.He found Shellington asleep in his bed."Clearly,"Peso thought"Shellington thought that he had been able to work but he can't even stay awake to work because he is so weak and tired."Peso whispered to Shellington and trying to wake his friend up,"Shellington....Shellington?"Shellington jolted awake,startled by the sudden presence of Peso.He looked around and seemed very confused.He quietly ran away while bumping into things so Peso cannot here him run away.Peso heard the sounds but when he turned around,Shellington wasn't there.He said,"What?Did Shellington ran away?I have to make sure he doesn't hurt himself or even run away from me and bump into things."Peso quietly walked out of Shellington's lab so Shellington can't hear him so he would not run away and hurt himself.If he hurt himself,Peso would have to work much,much harder,and will get way more tired.Which is not really good for a medic that young.In fact he is only 26 years old.Most medics are mostly 30 or more.
