THE SELF ENFORCED ISOLATION (Part 1)

My Love,

So you made it. Woow the last two weeks was hectic for you right ? Pelle baby mi. There were times it feels like this is the end but you said nope. This isn't over, you've got more to live for.

There were times you shed tears without showing it in other not to scare people around you that you were more dead than alive, that's strength over there.

Now you fully understand that your body will continually reacts to ailments and sickness differently as you grow. Your health is very key and should be treated with utmost concern. As you grow older, your immune system does not work as well. The following immune system changes may occur:

• The immune system becomes slower to respond. This increases your risk of getting sick. Flu shots or other vaccines may not work as well or protect you for as long as expected.
• Despite some antibiotics and malaria medications you took, your body heal more slowly and you were scared. This is because there are fewer immune cells in the body to bring about healing. The immune system's ability to detect and correct cell defects also declines as you grow.

In your self enforced over 14days in isolation, you've discovered that there is a need to constantly observe the following once you get out of bed safely:

• The more exercise you get the more you help boost your immune system.
• Most times you wake up you are already late for work and do not have enough time to wait for breakfast. From one call to another, one site to another and by 4pm you are probably not yet eaten anything which is bad for your health. You'll start to eat healthy foods, even if you have to start managing the ones they bring to site for your workers to buy time till you have where you can have a good meal. Good nutrition keeps your immune system strong.
• Thank God that you do not smoke as it is observed that smoking weakens your immune system. Otherwise imagine how it would have been having a lung disorder amidst this your sickness.
• For 30days in the month of Ramadan you stayed off alcohol only to quickly return back to it as soon as the only month was done with. This alone affected your system as your system already adjusted to it's lack of alcohol intake. If you can survive 20days without your favorite Budweiser then you should not only limit your intake of alcohol if it's not possible to drop it completely.

For the very first time in your life, you wished to go to work but your body system can't afford it, you were walking pass your fridge filled with Budweiser and can't take a second look, you could not eat anything aside akamu and agidi. What this tells you is that things can happen and change so fast and you'll need to be more careful. You need to focus more on your health as the earth will pause for a second to mourn your demise.

It was difficult to convince anyone about how sick you were because of your constant activity on social media, but then shout out to those who stood by when needed. Demola and Seun were shuttling back and forth to provide medications and meals some times, but then these two finished all the drinks you had bought days before you got sick during these times. We are brothers for life guys.

Wifey and the kids were amazing not to disturb your peace, they stood by you all along and it's amazing they gave you that comfort you seek. Even though at times you will still have to scream, shout and try scolding these little ones but their stubbornness made you just slide back to your bed.
