I Caught a Cold!
I caught a cold. It was really a bad cold. Actually, the doctor later told me that I had the flu.
My head was pounding. My throat was hurting. My body was aching. My voice became hoarse and I could hardly speak. I never experienced anything like this before. Worst of all, my sore throat was so severe that I couldn't even swallow!
I knew I should drink more fluids-water, soup or juice-and maybe take some medicine. But I couldn't. Each time I tried to swallow, it hurt so much. So my dad took me to the hospital emergency room.
A doctor came in. He checked my throat. He then checked my lungs. After his examination, he said, “Nothing to worry about. You have the flu."
“Why is it so severe?" I asked. "Can you prescribe me some medicine so that I don't suffer as much?"
"No," the doctor said. “No medicine can cure your flu.
Don't be sad. Your body is an amazing thing. It will cure itself without any help." “What? My body will fix things on its own?" I exclaimed in disbelief.
"Yes, your body's immune system will fight the virus for you. No doctor or medicine will cure you," repeated the doctor.
My tears rushed out. I had not realized this in the past. Everything had always seemed so natural. I've gulped down my meals every day for almost thirteen years. I drink water like taking a breath - without thinking about it at all.
Now, I understand that even a simple thing like swallowing is like a miracle. The muscles and organs in my body do their jobs amazingly well-and yet quietly, without
me even noticing.
I don't remember how many days it took me to heal, but I do remember what my father told me. He said that we should all appreciate our bodies and the miracle of how they are built.
