Life And Death
I was wrong the other day, I thought I could go out of the hospital last Thursday, but I was sure wrong. Because I extended my stay until now. Well, I would like to share my story why I wasn’t discharged a few days ago. Actually, when the doctor told me that, I can go home, so I was a bit excited, but generally, my breathing was not that normal yet. But, I wanted to go home because of the vital needs while staying in the hospital.
My first reason is that, our financial status was not really that stable yet, so, that would surely be a plus burden. My second reason is that, I wasn’t able to pay my Philhealth insurance for a couple of months, and when one of my sisters went to the office to beg to let me pay for it, but they won’t honor it. Because they had the specific dates to pay for, so it surely adds the burden. What do you think?. Then, out of that, I’ve learned a lesson that I should pay my philhealth insurance in full as what I had usually did a couple of years ago. I realized that paying my insurance it really help a lot, like I could from discount from my hospital bill, for instance, my room, doctor’s fee, and my medicine would surely be discounted, but now, we should pay in full amount without any discount. Sad, sad, sad. Big lesson learned on this part! It’s because of my negligence I guess. Anyway, past is past, so I should look for the best situation in the coming year.
Anyway, back to the reason why I have never been discharged last Thursday. Here’s the reason:
- While my sister was putting our stuff in our bag, I felt like my breathing wasn’t normal, so I lied down for awhile, but I didn’t feel good, instead my breathing worsen, so I asked my sister if it’s the right time for me to go. Then, my sister said, it’s not good for me go home yet. So I took the advised of my sister, therefore I asked her to tell the nurse to give some medication to gain my breathing back. So, the nurse came and gave me the medicine and I rested.
- Another reason, while I was alone in my room, I felt that my breathing worsen, and it was almost 7:30 pm already, I couldn’t breath properly. I felt like I fought between Life And Death here on earth. And I prayed that God sent someone to help and to tell the doctor/nurses that I was in trouble, and not long enough, one of my church leaders (couple) came carrying some delicious food. And I immediately told sister neneng that I was struggling from my breathing. And right away, they prayed for me, but breathing worsen. Then her husband ran to call for a nurse and to make the long story short, they put oxygen on me, and while the oxygen was in nose already, they prayed for me. Then, after a few minutes, my breathing was back to normal. Thank you Lord! For the second life. God is so amazing!
Well, you might wonder where my siblings were. Actually, my 19 year nephew was with me, but I asked him to buy our drinking water and to get the herbal at GHCA office which it took a while to get there. So, I left alone in my room, but before he left, I was quite okay although my breathing sometimes clogged.
Anyway, I am healed now, and I will be discharged today with prayers and faith that I should. And thank God for healing me.
