Tawa @ Ngatea Primary School

I had five days of school because I got a sore throat but I had achy bones and stuff like that then the next morning it was like 3 in the morning and I couldn't sleep because I had a stomach cramp and I was up till 6 and it finally it got better and I was feeling better for a couple of hours then I suddenly started getting the sickness back and I was watching too much TV in bed so I stared to get a head ache and that was really bad. After a couple of day all of it went away and I was just left with a cough with flemme which was disgusting and then I went to the doctors and have been taking pills ever since and now I am better.
