Frailty of Life

Dear folks an unforeseen event has taken place that has left me deeply sadden. My grandmother has suffered not one but two heart attacks on Friday. I was on my way back home from camp when my mother called me and told me my grandmother was not feeling well. I had no idea that she had in fact survived a heart attack.

I rushed home to find my grandmother sitting in the hallway surrounded my parents, brother and my other grandmother (mother’s mother).

I asked me grandmother whether she was feeling well not having the slightest idea that she had a heart attack. And as I felt her hands, I was frightened as I realized that her body was cold. For all you folks that are not aware, cold sweat is a symptom of a heart attack.

Soon after, she was brought to the hospital via the ambulance. In times like this, I really respect the medical profession especially those emergency team personals. Without these people god knows how many people might have lost their lives.

Upon reaching NUH, my grandmother suffered her second attack. But thank the lord, she was with the doctor when it happened and the doctor did his best to save her.

One thing I that has always left an impression on me is the love my close relatives show towards my grandmother. Upon hearing the news, they rushed to the hospital to be with my grandmother’s side. I am simply grateful to these people, because upon seeing all their faces my grandmother somehow managed to overcome her ordeal.

All’s well for now, only tomorrow will we know the severity or rather the after effects of the heart attack. But in these few days, a lot has happen that has somewhat alter my perspective in my life.

But for now, I can only hope for the best.

So till my next post ya, its bye from Ganz.
