A Journey with Dengue

Remembering back when I was still in high school, when my classmate got sick cause of dengue. One thing came into my mind "sana ako na lang yun" but it never happened. The dengue mosquito doesn't like me at all that's what I thought "ganun bako katibay?". But really life proved me that it can change faster than the speed of light. Now, I'm 20 years old. A victim of dengue and a survivor [yet]. On some point of it was a very very traumatic experience, high fever and vomiting. It was one of those moments when I can really say "I'd rather die than experience this shit" really! As in I really wished I should have died. I experienced almost every single symptom of dengue, It was 9 days of hell. 4 days stock at my room and 5 days at the hospital hopeless and sick. During my 4 days at the hospital only Yad [lets just use this nickname, I don't want to mention his name here] was my strength [okay he was my ex and I'm still in love with him, no more questions just read okay?] he was one of those who are willing to donate blood for me if ever I needed it. I really did thought we were okay back then, he was sweet and all but still in the end none change. He's still in love with that witch. Any, he is also one of those whom I think gave me the courage to fight dengue. He was present the whole time not physically but mentally. He texted me every day trying to tell me to have a rest, to drink a lot of water and more. But I never thought that everything was a lie. Every text message, every mushy mushy was all a fucking lie. Okay now this blog is giving me a shit. Nawawala na yung true essence which is about dengue. So lets go back to dengue.

Being friends with dengue for 9 days is just like what I said traumatic. But the scenes in the hospital made it worth staying. Since I'm only staying at a ward, I was able to meet a lot of people. In my ward, there are only 6 beds, 3 cases of dengue and 2 um i dunno whatevah. There is this one patient who have been very interesting the whole time, He's a very very old man with lots of friends and he's with this girl maybe a few years younger than him who looks like her mistress. Well, that is based on my observation. Another patient there that is worth watching, is a guy suffering from kidney failure [I guess, i dunno why he's there e :)] He was very jolly and full of hopes. Though no one comes to visit him that's why I pity him. Another interesting patient is this girl also a victim of dengue and she's with her boyfriend. Isn't it weird? no family member present. Really really weird. And the one that really caught my eyes in my ward is this young and sweet girl with her very beautiful Mom. I can see myself in her cause of her very caring Mom.

my 9 days of hell was very delightful cause of my Mom. She was there the whole time trying to convince me to drink more water, drink, drink and drink. She even tried the tawa-tawa and 181 stuff from the tv. Desperate Moms do whatever stupid things. She has also been so caring and loving. One thing I like about her is that she never failed to make me feel that I'll be okay , that I should be strong and face life positively. Though, she cant get over Yad. :| Really! she was like "Sana nurse naman para may magaalaga sa akin kesa sa marketing baka ibenta lang ako" she was crazy! crazy yet funny, cause until now Yad is still okay in her eyes. Which breaks my heart. Cause she still find me and yad perfect for each other. :| [heart breaking] Any, she was my strength my support the whole time. So I thank her with all my heart. :)

To all the Parents whose child is suffering from dengue. Please encourage them to fight and drink a lot of water. Don't let them be one of those who are suffering from sleepless nights. Let them be positive and don't let them cry for pain remains but once you've touched their hearts it'll forever stay. Love them.

To all the kids, teenagers and young adults experiencing this kind of disease may you all be strong enough to accumulate atleast liters of water a day. That's our only weapon and our only way to survive. Dengue will not leave you or even me. I can still feel the virus running in my veins, and hopefully someday sooner It'll strike again and this time, big time. It should have just killed me in the first place. But dont lose hope its just that my life isnt worth living anymore. So still fight for your life and drink a lot of water.

May God Bless you all and take me now.
