No Pain, No Gain

I would’ve never thought that in order to heal ones wounds, that person must make sacrifices. I’ve learned this the hard way being stubborn and strong headed just as I am. But this past week, it took me some time to give in and wizen up that if I want to relieve pain, first I must go through pain. I was recently sick. I had a fever with my highest temperature being taking at 102.6. Yea I know that’s pretty high but I refused to get medical treatment and go to the hospital. My fever lasted for two days before it broke. I had to take pills, pills, and more pills that only made me nauseous. Everything I ate, came right back up. Then on top of that I had extreme sharp pain on my entire left side of my body. You wouldn’t believe how much trouble I caused my family by not listening to their words of wisdom on how to get better soon. However, it worked out at the last minute when it was too late for me to go to class on Wednesday morning. I been out from work all week and my hair is still all over the place. This was downright painful for me because when I’m sick, I don’t like taking meds or being rubbed down with alcohol, walking when I’m weak or eating yucky soup. I had to force myself to do all these things and more to get over my fever though. I just hope I don’t get another fever. But I think that’s just apart of life.
