As soon as I had started drinking my tropika juice it was only natural to think things were gonna improve from then, we thought it was gonna be the juice, then maybe porridge and it was just gonna get easiier with every passing hour. So we kept drinkingand every now and then mom Ndu would but me protein shakes but I'd fail to drink them, they''d but me immune boosts and mineral but one second in the month and out it'd come.... After months of this push and pulll it suddenly dawned on us, this tropika and water was my new diet and I had to embrace it.
Weird when you think about it, here was a girl who was stuck in bed shaking every 5 minutes, she was getting worse but in that fog she found the only thing her stomach could handle - TROPIKA, MY LIFE SAVER, LOL. No no no I'm gratefull, God bless thhe man/woman who mixed it up, I'm 10% sure they didn't know it was gonna end up saving some girl from starvation.
The next year nothing had changed, except my speech was completely gone, I used one hand to try sign language (the other one is clenched remembber), I was becoming quite a great signer with my one hand, and I wrote on my phone a lot...
Keep in mind that I''m a Zulu woman and we have some traditions that we do, in my next posts I will tell you about my coming of age ceremony that was done in efforts to save my life after the illness got worse, keep your eyes glued it'll come very soon.
Also I wanna talk about my 21st and the near death experience I had the day before, which nearly gave Mom Ndu a heart attack and caused my nose to bleed 14 straight hours while I struggled to stay conscious. The reason I'm not writing about it now is because I'm still gathering facts and I wanna scan some coming of age ceremony pictures as well. I will write it in full very very soon.
