It’s Thanksgiving in America and thinking about what I’m thankful for just brought back some memories to my mind.
This time last year nor be small thing! I woke up one morning and I just had this weird feeling around my face…I went to the mirror and Lo and Behold brethren, my face had collapsed; one half of my face could not respond and the other half did…my speech was a bit slurred,one eye no dey close, i couldn’t drink from a cup cos the water would spill…the one wey pain me pass, I could not smile!This is not a joke…
I went to the hospital and when I reach there the doctor called all his smallies to come and see me-the scapegoat’,they used me like lab specimen. He called it Bells Palsy. I panicked, I really did, if you wake up one morning and discover your smile don bend, you will know what I’m talking about. I hid my self in my house, I just dey reason say, ‘so na so I go do wedding with half face?’ tufiakwa! all my dreams of the ‘bellanaija wedding’ vamoosed from my medulla oblangata…I called my mum, she said ‘bells kini? back to sender’…
After 2 weeks of praying, hiding, depression and being on steroids the thing truly went ‘back to sender’…so brethren, for this, for food in my fridge, love in my life, money in my pocket, inspiration for my blog, and other uncountable’s & unmentionable’s *ahem* I am THANKFUL- íjó ópè mi rè!!!
You nko? what are you thankful for?
