74th

"All things are difficult before they are easy." - Frank Fuller.

In life we are forced to deal with hysteric stupefaction news, it's bound to happen whether past present or future, it's just the way of life.

On Thursday 2nt of July i found out mine; i was diagnosed with the virus H1N1 or commonly known as Swine Flu. My latest trip to Singapore was designated as the sole cause of the virus.

Indication of the virus showed on Monday where i was suddenly struck by a high fever with the addition of a runny nose, i payed no heed to it at first but it got worse on Wednesday where i brought it to the Hospital fearing that i may be infected by the virus. Scanned and burrowed into, results were given the next day where i tested positive for the H1N1 virus.

Scared? sure as hell i was.

Initially i had a choice to be home or hospital treated, but fearing i might infect fellow family members i decided that being hospitalized was a better choice.
In life you need to sacrifice for the sake of others, i hope my past immature decisions are clouded by this mature one. To brag about me maturing over these 4 days will not be a lie, after knowing of my disease something in me opened up; and from that point on i promised myself to live each day as if it was my last to live a healthy life and try redeeming my past mistakes. I have learned about patience and virtue where time is off the essence, wasting time used to be my calling with my cocky arrogant attitude that needed to be dealt at times. I'm not saying I'm all down to earth humble and happy go lucky but i want a change, a permanent one that is.

I give thanks to the Doctors and staff involved from RIPAS Hospital and also PMMPMHB Hospital in Tutong.

yours Truly,
Abdul Osman
the 74th case.
