until the night of 25th August, when a sudden sting marked her skin — a tiny bite, sharp with pain.
Within a day or two, her body began to change.
Her eyes grew heavy with ache,
her strength slipped away like sand through fingers.
Then came the fever — rising in waves, two or three storms each day,
each one crowned with a headache so fierce it felt like the worst of her life,
beating across her whole head.
Her ears throbbed,
her stomach twisted in pain,
and a dry cough followed her breath.
One night, weakness pulled her under —
the world spun, her vision dimmed,
and when her blood pressure was checked, it had fallen low,
so low she could hardly stand.
She drank salt water, grasping for relief,
and for a while, the strength returned.
At the hospital, her veins and even her artery were pricked,
the needle deep, the pain sharp and unforgettable.
They placed her on a slow river of saline through the night,
and began a course of doxycycline,
morning and night for three days in the ward,
and four more at home.
She took paracetamol for the burning fever,
but only for two days —
when the fire calmed, the tablets stopped.
Those days in the hospital were harsh —
her tongue rejected food,
even fruits and simple meals seemed impossible.
She lived on water and weakness,
until the drips slowly gave her body back its balance.
On the second day she nibbled, barely;
by the third, she managed to eat a little more.
Even after discharge, the struggle remained.
For a week, she could not walk far,
nor stand with ease,
nor do the small tasks her life usually held.
Her recovery was like a slow dawn.
By 19th September, she felt herself climbing back —
her energy two-thirds to three-fourths restored,
yet she still carried a quarter of her strength missing,
a shadow she has not yet shaken.
She says she has never known an illness like this before.
Her life until then was free of medicines,
free of addictions, free of past fevers of this kind.
But she has seen neighbors in her forest-filled village fall ill in ways that felt similar —
the land, the trees, and the tiny unseen creatures within them
seem to hold secrets of sickness that come without warning.
Now she is back to her 95% of her energy
still recovering
still young
still full of Love and light.
