When I was eight years old, I had chicken pox. I suffered from it for about three weeks. I could not help it; I kept on scratching my itchy body. It all began when I discovered a few red dots on my arms and legs just after I woke up. I dismissed them as mosquito bites but after a few hours, I felt light-headed and then bigger and redder spots appeared on my skin. My body temperature rose to 39.9 degrees so I quickly ran to my mother and told her about my condition.
My mother was very upset; she quickly rushed me to the nearby clinic. She handed over my registration card to the nurse and we waited patiently until my name was called. The serious-looking doctor told me that I was having chicken pox. He warned me that my condition would worsen if I did not take good care of myself. He advised me to take my medicine according to instructions and allayed my mother's fears by telling her not to worry.

Unfortunately, chicken pox is very contagious, so I was not allowed to be near my siblings at all. I was quarantined in my room. Occasionally my mother or father entered my room to monitor my body temperature.

Things got worse when my grandmother visited me. She brought a really disgusting home-blended herb for me. She lathered it on my whole body and I kept on crying because it smelled horrible and my brothers teased me by saying that I looked like the Incredible Hulk. I felt really downcast and lonely. I missed all the fun at school.
From that day onwards, I took great care of myself. I obediently ate all my medicine on time and bore with the green smelly herbs for I wanted to get well quickly. I spent my time with my friends via the internet and I was very glad when I recovered after around three weeks. However, I felt sorry for my three other siblings who had chicken pox right after I got well.
