UPDATE ON MY HEALTH SITUATION: IT’S APPENDICITIS BUT IT HAS ALREADY RAPTURED
=================
Through the CT scan it has been confirmed that it is appendicitis and it has already raptured, so the many tests that they were doing was ascertain the extent of the damage due to the rapture.
So we now dealing with peritonitis which is why they are pouring in antibiotics in me like porridge using a tube.
They are also giving me some other fluids since I can’t eat in anticipation of an operation.
It appears to me, that, they didn’t want me to know that it has raptured, I picked a bit of information from their conversation as they spoke in Malay. I think they didn’t want to be anxious.
For some reason I feel the surgeon is dragging his feet while these other doctors are looking at the situation as an emergency. Anyway, maybe he wants to reduce on the infection before he operates.
I miss home, at least they would give you the exact picture of the situation.
One thing I am sure of is that, I will pull through, I can’t die here, but keep me in your prayers.
Nonetheless, in Bemba we say, “Munshilubula mfwa ni mukamweso”, so, just in case I don’t make it, make sure you bring me back home and bury me in Chingwere, without wasting time.
And don’t let anyone do politics out my situation.
When I entered politics I knew it brutal and anything is possible. POLITICS TEYABANA IYOO!!!
I suffered at the hand of President Lungu with his PF, similarly it has not been easy for me under President Hichilema and UPND, but I hold no grudge against anyone.
I don’t regret most of the things I have done or said, but I can’t say I have been right in everything. There times, when I got it wrong, but it was not out of malice or that someone hired me. I have done everything out of conviction and given a chance, I would still do the same.
Anyway, bottom line is that, I am not dying, it has raptured but they are giving me antibiotics and most probably I will undergo surgery during the day.
PLEASE DON’T CALL ME, THE BEST IS A TEST MESSAGE, I HAVE NO ENERGY
TAYALI THE PUBLIC LAWYER OF THE PUBLIC COURT OF OPINIONS!!!
Just die and be thrown wherever they can throw you. Who should bother bringing you to Chingwere? You are not a politician but a political parasite. Instead of doing meaningful work for yourself, you chose whatever you are going through.
Tayali, for you its okey you can be buried anywhere, it does not have to be Zambia, besides there is no compelling reason to have your remains in Zambia.
My condolences to Man. I’m touched by your words and I wish quick recovery.
You will not die, after the operation just take care of the operation wound.I hope you have someone to help you.The doctors and nurses will advise you when you get discharged .Wishing you a quick recovery.
I remember one of Aesop’s fables, “the boy who cried wolf” , about a Shepherd who cried wolf when there was none. When finally a wolf attacked him , no one bothered because everyone thought he was up to his tricks..A story on the folly of Dishonesty.
I don’t know whether Mr Tayali is really sick, but may he use this difficult time to reflect on his life and rediscover the value of honesty…of human virtue.
It’s not to late to start anew. Come back and own up for your transgressions if any. You are still Catholic I believe. Repent and ask for forgiveness from God..and follow the church ‘s teachings on Penance.
You are still young. Use your remaining time on earth to do something of value… become a scholar, researcher , writer or businessman. There’s a lot you can do .
I wish you a quick recovery…and come home.
Yes,and Chingwere cemetery is full to over capacity,by the way
Don’t be scared young man, Appendicitis is not all that life threatening, try to check the statistics even at the hospital where you are, Appendicitis fatalities are very low. Even in Zambia here, you can go for some months without any deaths, so I am very optimistic that you pull through. But keep on praying as we do so also, the Chief Physician and Surgeon is Christ.
