ThAT DrEaDfuL wEEk

As written in my previous post...i enjoyed Matheran trip with my friends a lot.
It was fun...i saw the best part of Mother nature in its full swing during monsoon.
It was undescribable experience,only a person visiting there can tell how the place is.

This trip was on Sunday 29th June.On 3rd July i.e Thursday I started feeling uneasy.As if some fever is gripping me.I got fever around 102F.
I had to go to the doctor.He prescribed me some medicines considering i had viral fever.He said "If the fever persist,please do a blood test." in his strong voice.I said "OK".

I took the medicines,I didn't get fever again,but my dad insisted to do the blood test the next morning i.e. Friday.

Friday I started getting fever in the evening,so after I collected reports and showed it to my Doctor,there was no sign of any other disease except viral fever ( which according to my doctor I had).He asked me to continue with same medicines.I had extreme headaches too.My mother thought they were due to sinusitis which I had before.She and my doctor asked me to take steam,but it didn't do any good to me.

My next day i.e.Saturday was good.I was fine.The whole day I was online.My parents thought I was alright.I was happy that I was back to normal.

The next day i.e. Sunday,I was experiencing headache...the one I got during my fever.I was feeling quite uneasy.My parents thought I was just acting it out to avoid their trip to Lonavala.They had made a day trip to Lonavala.They coaxed me to go with them.It was a 2 and a half hour drive.We reached there at around 4pm.I missed my timing of medicines to be taken.I took my medicines when we sat for lunch in the hotel.I was shivering due to chill which was felt only by me.I was feeling so cold that my nails started to turn blue and numb.I was damned scared.I showed it to mu mom.We cancelled our trip and decided to come back.We left immediately at around 5pm.

We reached home at around 7pm.I was taken to the hospital by my parents directly.
I showed my nails to the doctor,but by the time I reached the hospital my nails were almost normalised.But there was shivering and fever 104F.My fever was about to cross 105F.
It was highly alarming.As it was Sunday,most of the doctors were unavailable.
A doctor was called and he asked my dad to admit me in the hospital.

At around 8pm,I was finally admitted in the hospital.I was in immense pain.I was feeling like tearing my head apart.The fever was too much for me too bear.I was so red hot still I was under two blankets.My blood was taken for blood test.I was administered several injections,medicines and many more.I was also on dextrose drip because I was not eating anything due to nausea.

At 10pm,my reports were told on phone to the doctor present there.He confirmed their doubts and speculations that I had MALARIA.

I was suffering from MALARIA.Probably I was bitten by a Female Anopheles mosquito in the marshy area of Matheran.I was in immense pain due to headaches.That night I was unable to sleep because of headcahe.The doctor was called.He gave me an injection after which I fell asleep.The next day too the headache persisted.

I was in hospital for 4 days.I was feeling weak and exhausted.I was discharged from the hospital on Wednesday at 10pm.
I was happy to be back home again......
I was advised to take rest for few days....but I can never forget this week in my whole LIFE..!!!!
