It all started with a family break fast, we all ate a yummy meal of bread sardine and tea to wash it down.
Did i say yummy???? well it was yummy in the beginning before the trouble began.
The trouble began first with runny stomach from me, at first i thought it was a reaction that came from eating so much junk.
but i realized that wasn't the case when nausea set in. i was so weak i could hardly even walk.
it was late at night precisely 11:00 Pm before i gave up the fight of being strong and accepted the fact that i urgently needed help.
I called unto my mum telling her i was really cold, she came in with a blanket so large i could hardly see her, right behind her was my dad peering at me with very curious eyes.
My voice was so faint as i told them how weak i was, to save you too much stories, in 20 minutes i was in casualty ward lying in a bed an infusion stranded to my hand. although still in my misery i felt a lot better, in a short while my brother joined me in the hospital as we had both been part takers of the so called yummy meal. The doctors diagnosis was FOOD POISONING!!!!
it was morning before i became familiar with my environment and i was able to see every one around me and i realized how minor what i was feeling was, compared to what they felt.
There was a man with a broken leg, so bad i could only see blood, the man lying beside me had a problem with his kidney and could only breath with aid. I could go on and on with all i saw but it will only bore you. the man with a kidney problem died with me watching. . . . . . . yes I WATCHED HIM DIE.
as i watched all this unfold, as a youth advocate i started to relay all the happenings with being a young person and all the fights we usually have with health issues, particularly sexual health issues. I realized that the issues we have as young people are actually minute, but we tend to compound them by not speaking about them to people who can help. Well i am sure if the man who had a problem with his kidney just needed to talk to a health provider and get some medication and counseling, he would still be alive now. So if your out there, a young person having sexual health issues, unlike the man with kidney issues, you actually have a chance to make things right and have a better health. So. . . . . . . . . SPEAK TO SOMEONE ABOUT YOUR HEALTH
