Sick II

 So things did get better, and I went to the specialist about my throat, but then I already had my voice back so it was totally unnecessary.       

However, my appetite wasn't back and I was defecating a lot. No matter how much I was drinking or the little I ate I couldn't keep it down.        

I went back and forth to my house doctor for blood tests, and they were not good. I was lacking a lot in my body. This went on for months.        

Until the day the doctor sent me to the hospital. There they asked whether I wanted to go to intensive care or a normal ward. How was I supposed to know? So I chose normal ward. I was there for two days, and I honestly cannot remember much other than that I wanted to get home.

Then another interesting symptom appeared. I swelled up. My feet and legs expanded, so much that I could only walk around in flipflops. Fortunately it was warm outside.    

So I had to go through physiotherapy with what they call lymph drainage. When I first heard about it I saw before me a thick needle draining out excess fluid, but it turned out to be just massage.                        

A week later it got more serious.
