Every time July comes, it's always a cold season for Kenya, though currently due to climate change, the cold season was experienced in August.
This season is one the most disturbing time's in my life. Am allergic to cold, so whenev I r am travelli, g I have to keep warm. This ye, I r have experienced the worst part of my life.
In March because rains kicked in earlier than usual. One Friday I got home late from job because the rains were heavily falling. When I left the house that morning, it was sunny. so I didn't carry with me an umbrella. I only wore a light sweater, hoping I would get back earlier.
At midnight I left the office. It was drizzling, so I decided to beat the thickets because I needed to sleep after working for 15 hours.
Just before I boarded a car to my rented apartment, the rains started again. So as the car dropped me, rain was heavily falling. I had to seek shelter outside a supermarket at Mlolongo before getting impatient and decided let me run, the rains won't get me wet and If I get wet, I will freshen up once I get at the house.
As I knocked the house, My wife looked at me as if I was a stranger. My clothes were wet, I was shivering. I looked pale. My shoes were muddy. My trousers full of mud. So the first thing to do was remove all clothes from my body and dried myself with a towel. Even the appetite to eat was amis. I just asked for tea which then was my warming partner.
The following day, My chest was heavy. I had started coughing. I took breakfast and assumed it was the normal cough.
That evening I decided to visit my barber for hair cut. Again the rains started from nowhere. Out of Ignorance, I decided to rush to the house without minding the repercussions. When I home i was all wet. This time I didn't change the clothes. I took tea, This time 3 cups and lied to myself that I was ok. After Super, I retired to bed not knowing my chest had decided otherwise.
The following morning, When I woke up my body was boiling from fever. Pneumonia was killing me. I had to seek medication. That day I spend the good part of it sleeping. One thing about me is that even when am sick, I have to eat heavily to strengthen my immune system. After visiting the health center and given medication to ease the situation, I decided to take a sick leave. But my pocket couldn't allow me. So on Monday I proceeded to Job but still weak. My body coped up with the cold weather. I carried with me enough tea to keep me warm.
Before my program was moved to Saturday , that Monday i was hosting a big name in business. Dr. ERICK Rutto. The president Kenya National Chamber of Commerce and Industries. I wouldn't allow that chance pass me. I conducted the interview with a running nose and even requested for a break to ease myself and proceed with the interview as nothing had happened.
The pneumonia had taken toll on me until 3 days later when my body regained conscious and resumed job. Until now, my chest still pains. But soon I will have a postive story. Because GoalCare Herbal Clinic is working on my health.
