This morning began with pain and dizziness, and I found myself calling for medical help. I went to the hospital alone, feeling a mix of fear and relief. The tests came back alright, and I was discharged with medicine and a reminder to take things slowly. Along the way, I still managed to help someone who needed translation, even while feeling unwell.
Now I’m home, tired but grateful that I chose to seek treatment and listen to my body. Some words today stung, and some moments felt overwhelming, but I am learning to put my health first and rest when I need to.
