“I have been sick but thank God I’m back on my feet. My ailment was heart-related, and after a series of tests, I was told that my heart was weak, coupled with the fact that I often forgot things, so I was placed on drugs that must be used to avoid any crisis.
“No, the doctors said there was no way they could perform surgery on me. They said the drugs were very essential and must not be skipped. Though I was recently operated upon when I had a urinary ailment, I’m free from that now”.
