Happy Belated Mothers' Day and my horrible escape from death...
Monday, May 09, 2005 8:53 PM My Mum is the best mother in this whole wide world and I can swear for that. I never appreciate her in the past and it's my bad. I promise that I will treat her much better from now on. :) Let me tell you all why... It all started off on a perfect Sunday with my family. We planned to go to the Singapore Expo to check out our company exhibition booth. We spent about an hour there and wanted to go shop for a Mont Blanc pen for one of Dad's client. But the gift shop was closed for the day and so Sister and I dropped Mum and Dad off home and we proceed for our shopping spree. While driving, we realise that we are really dying of thirst so the first thing we do after parking was to grab a cuppa of drink at Kino's Coffee Club. I ordered a cuppa Iced Cappuccino while Sister ordered Ice Passion Tea. Thou I always try to avoid coffee due to my gastric pain, I still ordered because I don't know what to drink. Heh... After the drink, we continue to shop... I started to feel nauseous and giddy but I thought it's not serious so I didn't let my sister know. After buying a few tops from Mango and GG5, we decided to leave town and buy dinner for my parents at Novena. Initially I wanted to take over the wheel but luckily I didn't. When we are reaching Novena for the food, I started to feel serious nauseous and giddiness. My whole body numbs (from Head to toe, especially my limps) and I couldn't move. It's as if I am paralyzed. All I know is to cry and stuck to the seat. My sister actually ordered the food but seeing me in sucha serious condition, she quickly drove me home 1st and call my parents down to carry me up. I had a hard time getting off the car because my limps were numb and cramped. The feeling is indescribable. Very scary... By the time I reached home, I felt as if my whole world is spinning. My parents carried me to my room and force me to lie down and called our private doctor for consultation. At that point of time, I couldn't stop crying. I am feeling painful and horrible... and also that it's Mothers' Day but yet I have to trouble my Mother to look after me. I didn't get better after sometime but got worse. My body still cramp and numb till the extent that my fingers got stuck together and couldn't be spread apart. My Dad forces me to take in a giddy tablet but I vomited it out after a while. Nothing can go in but I keep wanting to throw out. My Dad decided to call the private doctor to come over as I couldn't even get off the bed. After a while, Baby called and sister picks up the phone telling him what had happened to me... Baby rushed over from outside and come over to see me... I couldn't really remember much of what exactly happen but only the pain. I remember seeing baby rushing over to me and hold my hands... my parents rubbing my cold limps... sister preparing plastic bags just in case I might vomit... It took quite a while before the doctor arrives... I told my Mum alot of weird things that scares her but it's because I really felt as if I am one step into the other world... The doctor came and check on my heart beat and its 120 beat per minute (normal is less than 100) and decided to jab me with Tranquilizer (on my butt, duh) to calm me down. He asked me a few questions which I couldn't really remember. After which Dad and sister follow the doctor to collect my medication... Poor baby have to keep rubbing my hands and legs because it's so numb that it's so so so so horrible. But I am comfort that everyone is around when I am really sick. I thought I was about to die because I couldn't breath and keep trying to catch my breath and therefore the high heart rate. So the doctor try to calm me down by asking me to breath in and held the breathe for 3 seconds. When my Dad and Sister came home, they said that the doctor suspected my blood contains drugs... and that's why my heartbeat reaches 120. But how could there be drugs in my body when I don't take any drugs? It's only a cup of cappuccino... I don't get it... The Tranquilizer doesn't help to put me to sleep. The numbness keeps me very uncomfty and uneasy. I couldn't sleep and kept saying sorry to Mum, Dad, Sister and Baby. I also remember asking if the jab is gonna be painful. Heh... Finally I felt like going to the toilet for a pee with the aid of everyone... and after which, I threw out one last time... all of the coffee I drank. That's when I got much better but still body numb and giddy... I held my Mum's hand and cried... because I am terribily sorry for making the Mothers' day such an unpleasant one... Sigh... Baby stayed with us till about 1030? I can't really remember... and my parents worried that it's not safe so ask him to go home first... I am really glad baby was there when I thought I am dying... Heh. After baby left, I manage to make my way back to my room for a rest. My parents came in and talk to me. They said Baby is really a very nice guy who loves me alot. :) I know it... And that's why I love him so much. Hehe... Once again, I cried and said sorry to everyone for making this special day sucha messy one... My Mother is really special... Other than just waking up early to prepare breakfast for us, she never complains no matter how much mess she has to clear up... I really felt very bad that she have to clean up after I vomited when it's actually Mothers' Day! When she was sitting beside me patting me to sleep while chatting, I cried... I told her that I know it's my bad that in the past I wasn't filial enough. She cried too because she felt my pain and she heartaches. I promise that I will be her good girl and love her as much as she loves me. She is the best Mother that anyone could ask for... Before she left my room, she kissed me good night... something that she never did before for the last 20 years... I am so touched... because to her, I am like her precious. :) Thank you Mummy... Thank you so so so much. Other than thanking my Mum, I have to thank my Sister who drove me home by speeding on the road, thanks my Dad for calling the doctor to come over and comforting me to sleep with my Mum... and My dearest baby who rush over to my place when he knows that I am seriously ill... Thou yesterday was the worse day of my life, it’s also a day I felt love... the unconditional love they gave me. The love that keeps me moving... and the love I could die for. I couldn't stop telling myself, if one day I die, I want them to know that they are the best 4 person I met in my whole live... Thank you.
