there's nothing special about her. plain looks, ordinary woman. her husband, athough known to me, for quite a time, is also non-special. a friend. but not a close friend. they live a simple life. hubby goes to work daily as a driver to support the family of 4- 2 sons, aged 9 and 7. the youngest, a girl-4
then came the twins, now just on their 3rd month.after barely the 1st month of their birth, the mother goes in the hospital. with a puffed face and body, diagnosed with a heart ailment. after a week or two, goes out with a somewhat clean bill of health but with a lot of medications to take. evrything went smooth. and fine. a week or two passed.
then came the complain of dizziness and general fatigue. went in and out this time. then the final blow, lips and legs in violet color and she was complaining of a heavy leg and unbearable pain. what could that be? went in again. according to the doctors who examined her, the change in color of the legs was due to a blood clot the heart pumps to the vein.good that the flow of the blood clot was downwards. otherwise, it's another story. fine. but not so.
just this morning, a sad story came out- she may come home minus the two legs! the blood clot actually made the two legs die. i do not know anything about medical findings, terms, etc. i am just an ordinary layman wanting to share this experience with you. just can't remove this event out of my mind. i am in the midst of a bday party. but i do not enjoy. that's why i wrote this instead.
as if not enough to end her sufferings, minus two legs is not an assurance of recovery. still, there's the possibility of that heart ailment to continue.
what happens to the kids? of course they have relatives to turn to. relatives to lean on. good if they have the money to live a sustainable life. but the hubby is just a driver!
anyway, i'm just a friend. an ordinary friend.
