In case of emergency, call thy neighbor

I was experiencing the breathing difficulty moment again last night, and it was horrible. Turned to my hubby and asked him, do you know where is the nearest hospital here, his response, not the slightest idea, ok, and then in case of emergency, what will you do? Oh, just knock on the neighbor’s door. Man…… why am I not surprised? I just looked at him and told him, oh btw my insurance card is in my wallet, just in case of emergency.

It is funny how you look back and take all these simple things for granted. My kids always have the impression that I am such a drama queen that even if I have a headache, I think I am hemorrhaging, once when I was experiencing some pain in my shoulder blade, I was lamenting that I might have bone cancer, and I actually told the Ortho Doctor at Damansara Specialist of my own diagnostic. He laughed me off, run a zillion tests on me and said, ok, I confirmed that you have no bone cancer, but you were born with some disorder of your back bones, and as you grow older, they are actually pressing more on each other, therefore the pain you are experiencing. I have undergone numerous physiotherapy sessions (sadly it does not help).

Whenever any of my kids or hubby is not well, I will panic, a thousand what ifs start to take place in my over expanded capacity of brain. I will stay awake and watch on them. They are the only precious people in my life and the notorious effects of the negative unknown really stir every strength of my being.

I get to know that my son is not well, and my elder girl is also suffering from recurring pain in her knee, while the second girl has just recovered from some pain in her leg, and I am not anywhere near them. It is tough, I am so hopelessly in love with the kids, and it is absurd. As you know my son is married, thus when my daughter in law is not well, I worried too because she is my daughter now. So, how do you overcome this situation?

Poor hubby will always have to bear with my moaning and lamenting about the kids, while assuring me that they will be alright, so this is the reason why he does not want us to have any more kids. He concluded that I am too devoted to the kids and him; therefore, I cannot have the time of my life.

Whatever……… he got all the emergency contact now, oh yeah it also include the fire department, and as usual he will make fun of everything, so he told me that when you call them you have to talk to them, you cannot do a missed call on the emergency numbers ok. And, he went on with the story of a guy in his country doing a missed call to the fire department when his house was on fire. Ahhhh………….. that’s the charming man of my life.

Moral of this entry, keep all the emergency numbers at reach.
