The Incident on May 06, 2024

An unexpected, overwhelming start to the week.

Today morning around 5-6 am, I was rushed to the emergency room of a nearby private hospital on account of difficulty in breathing and severe cough. It all started around 3 am and felt extremely daunting like a nightmare happening for real.

It’s been occurring for a while, however, not to the extent where it slipped out of my hands in terms of managemnt.

Those who know me well, know that I rarely visit hospitals for medical reasons until it’s extreme and unavoidable (it’s ironic how often I pay a visit for non-medical reasons). Today was an exceptional case. Despite taking all the basic steps to take care for days together, nothing seemed to calm my situation down today. The ultimate resort was to visit the emergency room at a hospital.

It felt terrifying. But at the same time, mom made it feel everything would all be alright. My oxygen levels were low. Nebulizing and some steroid injection via the drip on my upper hand brought some relief. Gradually, it felt better. After a while, we were ready to go home.

It’s been rough since the start of the year- physically, mentally, emotionally; basically in all aspects. Today, it reached its peak and gave me the ultimate jump scare there is.

On a side note, I will never be able to understand how people consciously smoke after knowing all the possible consequences that may follow. A non-smoker, yet here I am. 🫠
