THE TIME WHEN I LOST MY APPETITE...
AS SALAM
FOOD IS ALWAYS AN AGENDA FOR ME. BUT ON THE 1/3/11 IT IS FAR FROM MY MIND. MY YOUNGEST SON WAS ADMITTED TO THE HOSPITAL FOR AN OPERATION. AND LIKE ANY MUM, THE WAITING IS AN AGONY....ONLY TOWARDS THE AFTERNOON DID I REALIZE I HAD ONLY PEANUTS FOR BREAKFAST AND STILL NOT HUNGRY OR THIRSTY.
AFTER 4 HOURS, UNCLE CAME BRINGING FOOD AND DRINKS. I FORCED MYSELF TO EAT A FEW SPOONFULS OF FRIED BIHUN AND THAT'S ALL.
IT WAS ALMOST 5PM AND FINALLY, WE ASKED ONE OF THE STAFF TO SEE IF MY SON IS ALREADY OUT OF THE OT. HE CAME BACK ALL SMILES AND BECKONING US TO FOLLOW HIM TO THE RECOVERY AREA TO WHERE MY SON WAS PLACED A FEW MINUTES AGO AFTER THE OPERATION.
WORDS CAN NEVER DESCRIBED MY FEELINGS AND EMOTIONS THE MOMENT I SAW HIS SLEEPING FACE, STILL UNDER SEDATION AND NEEDLES ON HIS HANDS. A FEW HOURS BACK, HE WAS LAUGHING AND JOKING WITH THE NURSES AND DOCTORS, AND I JUST DON'T LIKE THE SILENCE NOW. BUTTERFLIES ARE EVERYWHERE IN MY STOMACH !!
I WALKED BACK TO THE WAITING ROOM AND WHILE SITTING DOWN I CALMED MYSELF BY SAYING EVERYTHING IS WELL OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND THANKFUL TO ALLAH THAT HE LISTENS TO WHAT MY HEART WHISPERS.
AFTER ANOTHER HALF AN HOUR, WE WERE TOLD TO WAIT FOR HIM AT HIS WARD BECAUSE HE IS READY TO BE TRANSFERRED TO HIS NORMAL WARD. WHAT A RELIEF !
