I had been sick for three days, curled up in bed.

Tight chest, stricken gastric, short shallow breaths.

This morning, at 3 am, I took my temperature.

Still at 100.7, three days and it would not break.

Not with rest, medication and lots of fluid.

At 4.42 am, I heard an inner voice telling me to accept it,

to accept it like a friend.

They showed me in a fast flash the fact that,

I had been fighting it hard for three days.

I thought, of course, I would fight it.

How else but to fight it.

It is not a “good” for me.

My siblings told me to go to ER.

I have two dogs, I cannot go.

And I fought it even harder.

As soon as I accepted the fever,

made it my friend,

an incredible peace came over me.

I knew then healing will begin soon.

An hour later, my body felt cool.

I knew the fever broke. 

It did, my temperature fell to normal range,

for the first time in three days.

It was an amazing experience.

Who am I to decide what is good or bad for me.
There are lessons to learn in this bout of sickness.

Thank you, Archangel Raphael, and my spirit team.

For helping with my fast recovery.
