This is a serious matter you just narrated. You went through the valley of the shadow of death. Thank God you made it.
We thank Èdùmàrè that we all are stepping into the new year. 2020 was too traumatic.

Let me first of all thank divine providence for the opportunity to be back from the portals of Hell and share the story, the grim spectacle of the glimpse beyond. Many were not so lucky with death tolls being recorded in the 700s and 800s.
Listen to no one who writes or tells you that the new strains of COVID-19 are not deadlier than the previous ones; they are! I rode roughshod with the various strain as if it did not exist and every morning with the cocks siren its ' pírí lolongo nji'. For more than three decades I have humiliated the Western flu because it could find no nitch in my body from where it could secure a foothold let alone luxuriate.
Then came the Monday a fortnight ago with aches spreading gradually all over my body and attempts being made to shrug it off with normal exercise regime. By Wednesday it was clear I was dealing with a totally different invasion force. I could not leave the house for work. Indeed I could not get out of bed easily except for hours of planning even to use the bathroom. I could not sit up straight in bed for more 10 seconds before collapsing back. I was bedridden.
Every part of my body ached the way never did: from the lower back and the kidneys to the upper back by the lungs it was clear all the organs in the body were being besieged by the invisible invading force. All energy left me. I would swagger the few short steps to the bathroom like a drunk. even though I took no drop of alcohol. All appetite vanished. I took only two small bowls of cornflakes in 72 hours.
Government said 10 days self- isolation would do the trick. Mine's more like 20. But its the horror of this new strain that most have been economical with the truth about. This is a dangerous disease; this is a deadly disease. And it is making its way into America.
For the purpose of those on this forum from time to give a just send a 'just checking to see you are doing ok' to our 70+ members. They will be extremely vulnerable to this new strain especially if they had underlying conditions in any of their internal organs.
