Blessing Behind Disaster

About 4 weeks ago, my foot was bitten by a poisonous insect. That was the beginning of my suffering. On the first few days, I still could move my foot and did my daily activities as usual, but on the next week I suffered, I couldn’t do anything. I couldn’t walk because it felt very hurt and I thought that the infection has spred to my toes. So, I decided not to go to campus for a while and went to the hospital.
At the hospital, I went to skin treatment, surgery part, and orthopaedics. I was so shocked when the doctor told me that my foot was in serious condition. I really wanted to get well soon, but the doctor said that it would take much time to cure this kind of disease. The medical word for it is “selulitis”. It could be more dangerous for my health if I didn’t take much rest. The doctor gave me prescription and I bought the medicine in the drugstore near the hospital.
On the next day, I just slept all day long, ate the medicine, and took a rest as many as possible. My mom treated me very well. I’ve just realized that without her, I’m nothing. No one can change her patience to me. She brought my breakfast, prepared my medicine, helped me to wash my body…. all by her help. I realized, I was too busy with my own activities so far.
Time passed by and I felt better than it was. Two weeks after I went to hospital, I could move my foot anymore. On Mother’s Day (22th December), I said happy Mother’s Day to my lovely mom and really thanked for her. Although I didn’t give any present on that day, but my mom and I felt very happy because our relationship is getting closer now after that disaster. I’m sure that there will always be a nice blessing behind every disaster that comes to us.
