In general, I’m not a kind of a person who is subjected to some illnesses, chronic diseases. I’ve always been a person who has, who can boast of a strong health and good well-being. But the first thought that came into my mind while reckoning about having some disorders is the situation when I got into the hospital. I was a child, it was winter, and I didn’t notice as I took off my coat and continued walking without any coat. As a result, I got pneumonia. Of course, I was extremely nervous and my parents were nervous to death because I experienced high temperature severe cough and the pain in my breast. We consulted a doctor and her idea was that I had to be put in hospital to struggle my conditions. It was the hardest memory, the most tough memory ever. It was quite difficult for me to appear without any parent support alone in a hospital. But thanks to doctors and nurses who took care on daily basis and always encouraged to recover, I was lucky to be released and I managed not only to recover, to get better, but also to make friends while being in hospital. And of course this situation taught me to watch the health and to live healthily to undergo some procedures to improve the immune system.
