This morning I could not get out of bed. It took me till 9 before I shifted from sweating in bed to pressing my body against the cold concrete floor. My body was so void of strength my plan was just to lie where someone can see me when they realise I am missing and come to rescue me. I was hoping Kelechi would still come check me, the resident he usually uses to report back on me came to the window and asked me what I was up to. I hoped he would tell Kelechi and he would come save me but the two did not meet for the rest of the day.
Martha found me. She said she had been in the office and had not wanted to disturb me before 12 incase I was enjoying sleep. She gathered me into Welfare Officers house and I lay on his bed drifting in and out of light sleep. Martha cooked a special pasta meal to tempt me to eat but the spice made me vomit. I was hot and cold and feeling scared that I had not been taking my Malarone malaria prevention tablets exactly at 9 on the dot each night. Rather waiting for food for 20/30 mins for forgetting till 10. When I tired to go to my room I was trying to do the lock when I blacked out and fell shaking on the floor. Martha saw and ran to carry me back to bed. It was a very scary feeling.
I tried had this evening to take some food. I settled for English Breakfast Tea with Cabin biscuit and bread to dunk in. Really worn out. Oh and the doctor that was suppose to come this week decided not to bother.
