A Scary Saturday...

Hi there,

Due to events that happened this Saturday, I'll be just a bit personal in this entry.

My mum had a transient stroke yesterday morning.

Luckily, my sister, brother, my partner and I were at home when this happened, and were able to call the ambulance on time and assisted her immediately.

I believe that saved her life, as she was having difficulty breathing and, had nobody been there when it happened, she might not have survived.

It was a scary day, but after several hours waiting at the Hospital's ER, my mum recovered the ability to move and speak again, and she's now in observation in the hospital. There was no bleeding, so there is no damage to her brain. At least that's what the preliminary examinations and test reveal.

I am grateful that she is still here with us, and hope that this incident does not occur again. Of course, nobody can predict that, but one can only hope.

It has been an emotionally exhausting Saturday, and whilst I remained calmed and absolutely convinced that my mother was going to be ok, I must admit... after the emergency period finished, the nerves caught up a bit.

I'm fine, but a bit shaken. At the same time, I am very grateful to the Universe for keeping my mother alive and well.

I do hope that you are well, and that your family and loved ones are also fine. Be with them. Look after them. Enjoy every moment available with them.

If you have been postponing getting in touch with that loved one, do it. Don't wait. "Later" is sometimes "too late".

Thanks for "listening". ;-)


Yours in health,
