HOW I FELL ILL
By Artem Kravchenko, 7b

  As for me, I think I am lucky person, because I seldom have serious problem with my health. I have never had serious diseases like mumps and measles. I have never had food poisoning or stomach trouble. I have never fractured bones. I have never had a deep cut or a bad burn. Like all children, I have just had a sore throat and a cough in cold seasons.

  However once I had a bad disease. When I was 7 years old I had a pneumonia. In addition, I had a cold and my temperature was high. One day I was playing snowballs for 5 hours. Then I was all wet and my boots were soaked as it was early spring and there was much mud. So, when I came home I began to cough and sneeze. I understood that then I was ill. I didn’t want to say about it to my mum, because she would scold me that I had been playing with snow so long. So I took a lot of pills and then I really felt more dead than alive. After that I told everything, because I was 7 years old, and I thought then I would die. Then we went to the doctor.

When we arrived to the hospital, I saw a lot of patients in the waiting room. We were waiting for 2 hours. When we came into the doctor’s office, I was very afraid. There were lot of syringes and enemas. I thought that they all were for me and I began to cry. My mom said that doctor would only look at me. I thought that he was unbalanced and mentally ill, because he began touching me. Ten he prescribed some incomprehensible words and we went home. When we were at home we were eating birthday’s cake. The doctor rang my mum and said I had pneumonia. My mom and my grandmother started treating me giving me hot tea and stuffing me with medication, they started calling an ambulance and panicking, but my dad took my hand and we went to the hospital. Doctor said that I had to spend 5 days at the hospital. It was the worst news in all my life. It was very dirty. There were very bad wards. Nurses always cried. I had daily examinations. It was the worst week in my life. Luckily, I recovered quickly and I haven’t had a serious problem with my health since that day.
