Health-related experiences

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. This is the Intermediate English Class 2022. My name is Professor John Dosada and today we are going to be listening to some of our students life experiences concerning health related issues so please take a seat and enjoy

My name is Lisa and today I have the honor to share with you a story that happened to me when I was a child. Okay, let's go start. When I was a child, about six or seven years old, I had a small but scandalous bicycle accident. This happened in Bogota. I was in a family outgoing, but at that moment I was reading with my aunt. Her name is Jelena. Coincidentally, we were ridden on a pedrasian bridge, but me, little Luisa,

was a big knotty and I had forgotten to tie my shoelaces. So the shoelaces accidentally got caught in the front tire of the pig. okay we immediately fell down and at that moment two men helped us I was lying around I mean I was lauding. At that moment I was supposed to be crying, but I wasn't. Maybe it was because of the adrenaline of the accident, but... with my aunt was another story because she was stressed because my uncle was bleeding a lot and finally it felt

It ain't covered in blood. I mean a lot of blood and You all know blood is kind of scandalous At the end, my family, my father and my mother arrived to help us and I end at the hospital. At the hospital, I start to cry. I mean, I don't like hospital. I have really bad experiences there. So I start to cry. It's a really... care place the doctor

So my uncle and finally I had to wear a cast for kind of two months Can you imagine that? It was horrible for me. I couldn't even walk But well, I have to walk in only fit that was that was not good Thank you so much

Hello everybody, my name is Kevin Ardila, I'm 19 years old and I live in Neiva. My anecdote that I have to tell you is that when I was a child and when I was 4 or maybe 3 years old, I got illness. I got sick by an illness called asthma. That illness was terrifying for me because adding to death, I am like allergic.

to one specific weather, and it's the cold. I am allergic to the cold. And when I was four or three years old, I lived in Bogota. So that was like a very bad mixing of... of situations and due to that I spent most of my childhood at the hospital but anyway it wasn't bad at all because At the hospital, I met too many people and too many friends that were also children as me. They were a child. They were children. So due to that, when I was at the hospital, I met too many people.

that had many other illnesses. And we started to talk and we started making jokes about those illnesses and about those kind of problems that any of us have. We started to live with that and to get over it. To accept that we had that problem, but it doesn't stop us to move on. I don't know. to go on with our lives. So, we were child, yes, we were child, but anyway, we spent too many time together. And I think that was...

That was the best part of being at the hospital. But anyway, it has like... bad parts and that bad parts means too that for example the nurses the doctor had to put put us or well put me injections and well when I was a child I was terrified by that by those injections and to like to get it even worse the nurse one day the nurse had to put me on injection, but she didn't find my veins. So it was difficult for her and also for me because she didn't get the injection.

so she had to put me several injections to find me my vein because I'm like quite white my skin is quite white so the problem is that my veins are not quite visible for her and for me So I don't know if she had any problem or if she was a beginner. But anyway, she suffered a lot and obviously I suffered even more. So I got, like, I got, like, scared about injections. But after that, like, situation, I got used to that. And currently, when I have to put me on injection for any reason,

I almost doesn't, I almost don't feel like pain for nothing. So it also has like positive, positive, I don't know. Yeah, it had positive features to myself and to my own defenses. So, well, I suffered a lot in that hospital, but anyway, my family was always in there. My family will be always in there when I need it. So I had too many support from them. And also when I got... I don't remember how the teacher says the word.

Wait, when I got out from the hospital, I just... I just could go to my neighborhood and in my neighborhood I had many other friends that gave me the welcome to my own... to my own... So it was also grateful for me and I was thankful by the quality of friends and family and relatives and friends that I met.

uh that i had because it was it was good all of them were were supporting me and all of them were nice to me so it was good it was pretty good The last thing that I have to say is that due to that I am allergic to the cold and due to that I got too many defenses, thanks to the asthma and all that stuff,

I could, like, improve myself and to get more defenses. And now when I go to Bogota, I doesn't feel like as bad as where... as was i was a child for example i now i can like um get over it and it is easy for me and it is easier for me uh but now i mean i'm in neiva the weather here is colder It's colder now. It's hotter. So it is easier for me to move on and to follow with this life.

I don't know. And asthma hasn't shown from many, many years. Maybe from when I was eight years old. After that, asthma has... has appeared and and i am thankful for that so that's my anecdote i i hope you have enjoyed that and that's it thank you thank you all bye

Hello, my name is Ruth and I want to talk about the first illness that I have had. And it's a resource that when I was 10 years old I got slim in my lungs. but it got too much flame in my lungs. So when it was sleeping, when it was sleeping, that flame... makes was was making me feel as fishier so that that I couldn't breathe well that in like around a week I couldn't sleep well because of the phlegm. So my mom took me to the doctor and they told me that it was very extreme but it was...

but it had a cord. So he recommended me to take, to drink a Sainte de Bacalao. And when I started to drink that, that horrible. Day 3, that flame that was inside me, I started to throw up that old leaf flame. And like a week later, I feel better. The doctor told me that my lungs were free of flame. So when I had... In my recent days, when I had a flint, I remember that terrible episode of my life. I look for a moment to drop that flame. So that's all.

I'm Christian Joan Charly-Claros. A health issue that I had in the past was when I was a child. I was 12 years old. I was playing with my friends in the park of my neighborhood.

so in that place I fractured my left arm because all the weight of my body fell off my left arm my friends went out to search to look for my mother because I can't get up because I need help to get up and the last thing that i remember is that i was walking to the hospital with my mother but the other thing that happening inside of the hospital i didn't remember anything And when I... So when I lift up inside of the hospital, my left arm was full of bandage.

and the doctor said to me that I had fractured my left arm two months later I go to the hospital to remove the bandage and after those months I... I went to physical therapy to improve the... my weak arm because after those two months my left arm was very very weak

comparing to to the right arm so that is that's all When I was nine years old we bought a house and in the process of messing around the dust of the furniture made me sick. In time I started having troubles breathing and I had a lot of coughing. We even had to go to emergency room several early hours. due to lack of air. We told the doctor everything I had but she said it was just allergic. Sometime later I start to have fever my loves.

purple and I felt like I was going to die and they took me to emergency room once more and the doctors found that my lungs were blocked. had started to suffer from asthma. They immediately hospitalized me and started giving me inhalers and other medicines. One of the inhalers called but did it still well with me and my heart rate became worse and my nerves flickered They had to give me another one that was immediately my salvation. This was Seretide. I spent three days subsidiary faith.

connect many houses so that through this they applied me to medicine to me and it was very painful it was my horror Years later I had asthmatic attacks, so they ordered me some pills that is called Montelucas. these pills done for all my life. Today I haven't had an asthma attack again thanks to the pills.

yeah one day I had my usual annual checkup my medical checkup and it was really normal for me that the doctor told me to take some blood tests those kind of stats were normal for me because every single time that I went to the doctor told me that

And when I arrived to my house, I read the medical transcription and it said three bottle samples. I read that like, I don't know how many times and I was shocked because of... three three bottle temples uh in all my life i have i have been scared of needles and think about that my blob lived

My body to feel just three puddle samples scared me really a lot. I was really scared and Today of the tests arrived and I was anxious, I was scared, I was shaken and I got into the room and the nurse began to fill up some documents regarding the blood test. And I remember that everything passed, happened so fast. My dad was waiting for me and we went there by motorcycle. I got on the motorcycle and my dad started driving and I got blind. I remember that I couldn't see.

The only thing that I could do was just hold my dad and try to don't fall from the motorcycle. Suddenly, I remember that I brought a jogger with me. And in the middle of my blind and try to don't fall from the motorcycle, I take out the yogurt of a little bag that I had and I drink a little bit. And I start to see a little bit more, but not like completely. And when I arrived to the university, I could see better.

my father saw that I was really pale and he just thought that was because of the scare but the reality that I was flying because of my blood sugar low um at the time i remember that i were a i really was so stupid because um i sold candies in the university and the funny thing is that when i realized that my problem was lack of sugar i forgot that i brought with me almost 60 candies i really really forgot and i don't know why but that happens then i eat my breakfast and i get better

Hello, hello everyone. I'm Nicholas Espitaquera and I live in Ava Villa and this is a story of mine that I want to share with all of you. When I was in high school Some classmates and I had to interview some old people about the war as a homework. I felt I was kind in a very good mood and I was I was feeling very good too So I thought that it would be a very interesting and good day for me but suddenly it won't Because when I was doing the interviews with my partner, something happened to me.

While I was recording my partners in their interviews, I started to feel sick. I felt that everything was spinning a bit around me. and my body started to get cold but I didn't pay attention to it and continue with the recording I remember that two or five minutes later I felt my eyes a little heavy and crushing on their own, and then I saw nothing but black.

After a while, I woke up sitting in a chair with my boy shaking a lot and not knowing how I got there. According to my partners, this was like a scene from a movie. because they say that I fell unconscious on the ground while recording them. Also they told me that they couldn't take the camera off when they tried to leave me.

Because I was holding it so tightly So they just grab my hands and put me on the chair later or listening I was I was asking asking to myself why why this had this had happened to to me because in that morning I was feeling very good I hadn't felt I hadn't felt... I hadn't felt... I hadn't felt nothing. Neither a headache, neither a stomachache or nothing like that.

So I was asking me why why did this is happen but in this but and in in the time In the time that I was asking those questions, one of my partners called to his father and then to my mother. to take me to the clinic where I would stay until the other day because due to a request or a solicitude. of the doctors. I remember that on the next day, the doctor broke so on.

some tests and told me that this that this that happened to me because because my defenses and playlists were were low And because I had a bit, I had a stressful moment and he said that That moment that stress was a main part of this success, of these things, of these events. So at the end, I'll just say that this story is a very curious moment in my life. So I just wait, I just want to... Love and enjoy that a little bit of it. See you later

Good morning professor and everyone. I'm going to talk about experience I had when I was young and it was a health issue. It was when I was in 8th grade and I was I think that 14 years old. I had diarrhea in that moment and was the final class of... maths and I just want to go to the bathroom and I asked the teacher if I I could go to the bathroom but he didn't want to he didn't want to let me

go to the bath because it was dangerous and was raining outside and my school was with with trees and grass you know so I just want to go to the bathroom because I probably could dirty my pants or something like that and I didn't want to... to pass the experience in front of everything, in front of all my classmates. So I ran away from this.

classroom and went to the bathroom without asking the teacher and without all the rules that they had in that moment because i just feel that i was going to to to dirty my pants and to do to be ridiculous in in front of everybody so i i went to the bathroom and when i i arrived to the classroom. My teacher just had an argument with me. and then he called all the coordinators and then they called my parents but my parents understand that I have diarrhea so

It was good and I didn't do ridiculous in front of everybody. Thank you.

So good morning, professor. Today I'm going to talk about probably the hardest food that I have never had in my life. And this happened at the beginning of the last year. and always started like a normal feel with the normal symptoms you know a cough, some ismenezy and some headache and something like that but I started feeling worse because the symptoms increased in excessively because I started to feel a high congestion, a high temperature and all my...

My body hurts. I don't know why, but that wasn't a strange feeling that was with me almost like the whole month of March. And it was so hard because I'm not like a sick person and I don't know why that happened to me but it's not... It wasn't COVID-19. That couldn't be possible. And that's it. It's my story about the hardest flu because I have never broke a part of my body and I have.

an accident so that's it thank you for listening to me and sorry for the strange noises that are surrounding me so thank you

Hello, my name is Isar, I live in Neibawila and I wanted to tell you a story about one night that I had a really bad flu and high temperatures. I was like around eight years old and I told... my mother that night that I was feeling really really bad and she she saw that I was burning so she took me to to the clinic to the hospital and they kind of

I saw nothing wrong so they just gave me a dolex and told me to go back home and just rest. When I was back home I told my mom that I don't think it was normal and that I was feeling really really bad. So she took me back to the hospital and told the doctors to test me, to take a blood test. So they did. So after like an hour they gave us the results and they told me that I have hemorrhagic dengue. But it wasn't that bad just because I didn't have it for a long time.

so they took more blood out of me they run more tests and put some injections in me so finally i got better but that's a really really dangerous disease so i think the way that we insist and that we try to to get our test i think that saved my life so yeah that's my story thanks

Hello, my name is Brigitte and I'm going to tell you my story. When I was 11 years old, I remember that I was playing on the basketball court of my school. I was with my classmates and I remember that I was so excited because I was about to make a dunk. So I started running very fast. But unfortunately, I stepped on wrongly and I sprained and twisted my ankle.

I remember that I fell sharply on the floor and then I felt one of the worst pain that I have ever had in my entire life. It was so intense. And I started crying very loudly. I remember the teachers came and called an ambulance. And at first I thought that I had broken my ankle. But when I was in the hospital, I had a scam to see if anything was broken. But my bones were fine. The doctors told me what...

I have hurt where my tendons and my muscles and they were very inflamed and swollen. The doctors disturbed me the same day that I entered to the hospital. they send me to rest for two months in a row without any physical activity. I remember that I had to take some medicine, painkillers, apply creams and take ice baths that were not comfortable at all.

And nowadays after 10 years of the accident, sometimes when I'm doing exercise, I feel a little pain in the same part that I heard that day of the accident. Because unfortunately, only the 70% of my tendons recovered totally. And that is something that I have to deal with the rest of my life.

I'm from Colombia and I live in Ava Williams. So my experience is that when I was like 14 years old I suffered from severe headaches and My nose was always stuffy. So my mom took me to the emergency room to see what was wrong with me. At first the doctor thought... I had migraine so he told me when I had headaches I would have to close the curtains so that the room would be in complete darkness and

I had to sleep because that would, like, ease my headaches. But then after more exams, the doctor realized... that I had chronic sinusitis and so he gave me medicine for the nose and then I had x-ray and the doctor told me that I needed surgery but we didn't

go back to the doctor so it's like we forgot about it and after a long time and headaches were like like less severe and I think the medicine that the doctor gave me it really worked because now I I'm a healthy person and sometimes I have headaches but they are not like they used to be.

I was about eight years old I had a bicycle actually it wasn't only mine I had to shoot with my siblings take turns to ride. Sometimes we rode the bicycle to people at the same time. One of us was supposed to be like the driver and the other one was like a passenger in the bicycle cones One day I was like the passenger on the bicycle cones and my their sister was the driver and I decided to do a fit so While the bicycle was riding, I pulled myself off it and as a result, I square my knee.

bleeding a lot for about three minutes but then it stopped it with the help of coffee and as a result I had a I had a big scar on my knee and my mother was really angry for about two weeks with my sister and I. That's my experience.

My name is Maria Fernanda Arbaez. I'm going to talk about a one I feel very sick. I almost never got sick, but one time when I felt very bad. It was when the pandemic started. In the morning, I only felt dizzy. But in the afternoon, I started to feel headache. stomach ache, urea and fever. So my mom started to worry and she thought it was COVID. So she told me that

We must go to the hospital, but I don't like hospitals. But she insisted, so we went to the hospital. The doctor said to me that I had... It was you have a battery in the stomach. And he told me maybe it was because I have two pets. and sometimes they have this bacteria. So he prescribed me two injections for diarrhea and some HIV and fever medicines. When I came back home, I laid down all of the rest of the day because I don't have energy.

The next day I feel better, but I continue to have diarrhea for two more days. But after that... feel much better I think that the only time I have feel very sick and because I just want to sleep and And I didn't have energy to do anything. So that was my story.

Hi to everyone, my name is Felipe Polo and today I want to talk to you about one experience when I feel sick at the middle of the quarantine. I wake up one day with some pain in the tonsil so when since when I was child I always have been problems like tonsillitis or problems with myself. So I think that it was the beginning of that tick. So I start to take some medicines to that. But with the few days, the next days,

I really feel sick. I feel a lot of pain in the morning. The day was so long. I can't eat properly because my esophagus. It hurts me a lot and I go to the hospital because that's the good way to get some medicines like from the doctor. Everyone looks me like a waiter because I have some problems with my grading and everyone tell me that I have like... COVID-19 symptoms. So I took the COVID-19 test that is awful. I think that is horrible and I didn't wish to anyone to take it.

So the test takes negative, so the doctor shot me an injection of penicillin that would help me with my sick. It happens like... 15 days more and the sick began again so I go to the hospital again and they took me the COVID-19 test again And they say that it looks... I don't know how to say it. Well, because I feel very good and I think that I get cured from my sick. wasn't. I go to sleep every day around 4 a.m. and the pains wake me up at 6. I only sleep two hours daily.

those days like around two months was so awful for me because i can't wake up from my bed i stay in my own isolation because I have some symptoms and everyone thinks that it was COVID-19. I lost around 15 kilos or three pounds in two months, get shot twice. times with penicillin that that's too awful too and I think that you have to take care about your health because in any way or in any time of your life you can get sick and it's going to be a hard work.

to go to the hospital to see the dogs or the cows. Now we are in the quarantine and the scene has so much difference. So I want to share to you my experience.

Tell to you that you have to be careful with your family My name is Carolina Quintero I live in my abuela and this is my story well when I was a child I remember that I was eight or nine years old was in August. I went out with my grandfather and sister to fly my kite. I was very excited, really excited. And I tried to make the kite fly high, of course. So I ran a lot looking only at the kite. And I remembered that...

Certainly I fell into health causing my foot to fractures and I also raised my knees. I cried a lot obviously in Scream too and everyone who was they can't do where I was and they try to calm me down. Even my grandfather was very worried so he rode my foot quickly and I tried to get out to work but I couldn't do it right. Then I stopped thinking about the pain and I asked about the kite. I went to look for it together with my father.

my grandfather who helped me work and we found it on the third of a tree and we couldn't lower it so That day I left sad because I lost my kite but I really felt happy because I was able to raise it high.

Good morning and welcome to my podcast. The person who is speaking right now is Juancho Rivas. Currently, I live in Neiva, Colombia. So, I'm saying... hello to everybody from my country in this podcast i want to share with all of you an unforgettable experience when i decide

to take my blood test well to contextualize you i was 12 years old i was with my sister she always stayed by my side so maybe she was like my shoulder in that moment to be honest with all of you and to be concrete and sincere I'm afraid of needles so if you show me at least one needle

I probably I'm gonna kick you or I'm gonna tell you like get away from me please so be careful with the needles because I because probably i will get panic with that special material and that's why the reason i am here and I'm going to tell you my experience with the needles. In that moment, I had to. I had to take my blood test because I really needed it. No, because I want it. Okay. I was with my sister and beside to me a North.

was checking my art, you know the protocol and She looked at me and she told me I can't remember all those words she told me don't worry everything is gonna be okay I I said okay that's good so I felt like just a little bit confidence but when she when she put the needle in my heart Suddenly, my arm started to bleeding. And you can imagine the bleeding in my arm on the floor.

and oh my god in that moment I felt goosebumps I obviously wanted to go to my home in that moment I i don't know how how did i survive my face obviously and my skin thought white I didn't die but the reason by which I am afraid of the needle is because the North couldn't do her work. He maybe didn't know how to apply a needle. maybe that was a had faith experience I don't know but that was a terrible story a terrible experience So, but I'm here. And here I try to face when I see a needle.

But to conclude, I really hate the needles.

Hello, my name is Valentina Rodriguez. I am 19 years old and I am going to tell you something. When I was five years old, I fell down the stairs and I... hurt my ankle my right ankle and since then I got crippled because every every every move that I did or that I do with my feet it hurt well now it doesn't hurt as much as it hurt then but every time I do exercise for more than an hour it starts It starts hurting, hurting a lot. Last year I tried to play rugby.

to train rugby because since then or until until then it didn't hurt for a while So I said like, well, let's try it. Let's try something to do. Let's try some exercise. And I tried it. I tried to practice rugby but it is a really tough sport and I shouldn't do that. I shouldn't do that. because after one week of training I guess just one week of training my ankle started hurting again And I had to use a bandage for two months, maybe. And I had to rub my ankle.

because it really hurt and after that the only exercise I do is very soft in my house alone not I can't run more than 20 minutes because it starts hurting. I can do much. force with my with my feet and That is really a pain in the head because well apart that I would like to do exercise or to play some sport, to practice some sports. I can't for that. And I have to be really, really careful when I am walking to not hurt it again. So that is something I have to live.

that I have to live with from now on and I am really used to it now because it happened so many years ago but Apart from that, I have to be really careful in every movement I do with my feet, with my legs. So that is something. I didn't expect that I have to be accustomed to. Now.

This story begins when I was 15 years old, I mean 4 years ago, and it was in summer. In that time, I wanted to know how to... skateboard I wanted to know how to ride the bike properly and things like that and in that time I went with my best friend David to the skate park to see how people

were doing the tricks and if there was someone who wanted to teach us and we went there and when we arrived we sat down to see how These people were doing their tricks, watching these professionals doing what they know what to do and that was really fascinating and we started riding our bike.

around the place, knowing the ramps, knowing the pool and everything and I remember that my friend went to meet another person who will teach us and I stayed with the bicycle riding around the place and I started going down a ramp and I remember that I was like

learning how to do it how to do a basic trick nothing really extreme and i remember that my friend was like he stopped talking with with the person that he met and he was getting closer to me and he told me that we were going to our house now.

I remember that I told him that I was going to do a trick before we left the place and I remember that I went down the ramp and I flew off the ramp Because I didn't have the control of the bike and I remember that the the bike Was really heavy and when I was in the air in the middle of the air the bike pulled me down and I just remember looking closer and closer the floor and when I opened my eyes everything was white

and I couldn't hear anything and when everything got clear there were a lot of people, a lot of skaters and people that were close looking at me. surprised that I was alive or something and they helped me to get up and they told me that I was... that I was bleeding and that I had a third eye because I had a really bad injury in my forehead and I was bleeding. My face was bleeding a lot and they told me that I was like a monster.

because i was bleeding too much and i was like i don't feel anything and i touched my face and when i saw the blood in my hand with all that sand and rocks i was like okay I really hurt myself and they told me hey can you stay stay still I was yes yes I'm okay and I start falling with my in my behind and it was like no you can you can stay still so and they took me to a place where I could wash my face and when a tear of water touched my face.

Then I felt the pain and everything and I remember that I needed to go home and take care of my injuries and I was in the... in the back of the bicycle while my friend was taking me to my house and I was like, oh man, my face hurt a lot and the people were...

passing through in the roads and they were like oh my god that boy really hurt his face and I was like yeah yeah don't tell me anything and I was like yes the pain was really bad and when I arrived my to my grandma's house she was like oh my god what happened to you now and she started yelling at me and I was like okay I know I messed up well good helping and she took alcohol and started putting it in my face and i suffered a lot but luckily i didn't have

I don't have any scarves left and I'm really ok I don't have any problem in my head and I didn't need stitches or anything else but the abrasions were really really bad Even for a week I was with a really bad headcage, but everything got well.

Ok, in my whole short life, I actually have suffered a lot of accidents and health issues. For example, when I stay a short time in places like Bogota or Pitalito, i get a cold immediately and that's because well those are cold places so i start to sneezing and coughing and it's so annoying but

the experience that I want to talk is when I get gastritis and that happened like four or five years ago and in that moment well it was easy to my body to get that because at first I get chikungunya and also I didn't eat well I don't know why but it happened i didn't eat well so i didn't have good defenses so my body was like a magnet of diseases but well the first days

I can say that I get the worst stomachache in my whole life because I feel like a knife in my stomach. I don't have the real experience of having a knife there. but the pain was terrible so after that i couldn't eat anything or well not anything i just could drink water or eat like rice or bread but only those things and one night i decided well i'm feeling better so i'm going to take a piece of chocolate and a minutes minutes later

I started to throwing up all the food that I eat in the whole week so that was terrible and well I would like to say that that was the worst moment of my my illness but no the worst thing was my my cure for for say in that way and i i need an injection that that injection have three side effects and the first one was throwing up again the second was that my temperature of all my body was really high i don't know why but my body was really hot and it was confusing but nothing else and

The last one was a little of a headache But after that, after all that I really get better going to talk about Getting home, back from school, I was in the public transport and I started to feel some itching in my...

she told me that she noticed that i was sweating a lot and i i said yes it's kind of strange because i remember that that day it was strange for me that i was feeling like a hot in a cold day so she recommended me to to take a bath because she was leaving so when I get out of the shower I could talk with my parents

As she said, I did it. When I get out of the shower, my parents arrived home. My mom told me that... if I was having forever and that kind of things it could be chicken pox and I gave I agree with her because the itching in my hair had spread to my back and to my whole face. So I said like, yes, maybe it could be that. So as I had that, my parents recommend me to don't go. for school for two weeks so i did it on that days i had to talk with my partners by whatsapp so they

and tell me what they have done on the day. I remember that in that two weeks I had February. I remember also that I lost the taste for food.

My grandmother, who was taking care of me on that day, when she gave me the breakfast and lunch, I told her that... I remember like eating with her and telling her that the food that she was giving to me that she was giving to me hasn't any taste on on my tongue so i remember the the fervor and losing the taste of food and also the the pots that appear in your whole body in your skin my mom recommended me to don't scratch them because

they can leave like scars after after after you recover from from that but the pain that I felt on that day because of that point was terrible so I scratched the mold and now on these days

I can see some of the scars on my arms and on my shoulders. Also, I remember that as I scratched them, My clothes used to get stuck on me and it was kind of painful doing things at getting... getting up of the bed because when I wake up every day the bed was like stuck on me So I had to like dress up and getting out of the bed very slowly to avoid. to avoid hurting my skin because of the pus. And that's it. Those were the symptoms on that two weeks.

something funny about that time was that as mostly of my family already had chicken pots they used to be a lot of time around me around of me in the weekend and it was kind of strange because doctors recommend like to stay alone on those days to avoid like passing the virus to other people but it was funny To me, most of them, most of my cousins, my aunts, uncles, and even my mother, they already had habits.

they had no problem to to be like near of me on that days and that's it like the only scar that it left me scars of the of the pots that I that I scratched on those days that's it
