Remembering.....

6 October 2009 at 9 p.m. is one night i will not forget as long as i live. I was attending the wedding dinner of one of my distant nephews when my sister was seized with terrible chest pains. The pain must be excruciating as she was screaming away and wriggling her body. i just could not calm her...so we rushed her to the nearest clinic. The doctor at the clinic just could not record her blood pressure even after four tries and he decided to do an E.C.G. The result was good as there was nothing wrong with her heart. So the doctor advised us to take her to a hospital immediately after giving her a pain killer. We then rushed her to a private hospital 60 km away, thinking she would be given adequate medical attention. Believe it or not, this hospital after examining her, told us that we need to send her to another hospital as there was no cardiologist in that particular hospital. In the end we sent her a better well-known private hospital20 km away. There she re-examined by the doctor and some heart imagery was performed on her. Again the conclusion was there was nothing wrong with her heart
What i'm recalling was that at that moment in time , i could have lost another member of my family again. Life is so fragile.....one minute you're here and the next second you may have slipped away. It brings to mind again that nothing is certain in life except death. I kept recalling that we were just talking and laughing and the next minute she had this terrible attack.
This brings to mind that i need to value relationship even more now. Nothing matters any more except our loved ones may be taken from us any time...any where. So value people...loved ones or friends........
