This afternoon.
I usually dont carry my cell phone with me at work. I do take it with me, but then leave it in my drawer. Around 3:00 PM I opened my drawer and saw that I had 6 missed calls from home. Got a bit worried, called back, no response…
So, I didnt give it another thought, maybe it was the problem with the keys, or maybe there was some URGENT message about getting the cooking oil on my way back home.. normal stuff that I encounter every day :halo:
Around 4:30 as I was wrapping up and preparing to leave, the phone rang again, it was from Home, I picked up and replied in my usual way and tone ![]()
It was not begum - but a friend of hers ![]()
She said something that made the parrots of my hands fly away.
Wifey had not been feeling well and had gone to the walk in clinic, the doctor had given some medicine, and as soon as she took that medicine, the whole world turned upside down, severe headache, vomitting, weakness and trouble with breathing. She wasnt even able to stand up on her own, or even talk. Wife’s friend was asking my permission to call 911 ![]()
I said permission ki kya zaroorat hay CALL THEM RIGHT NOW ![]()
They called 911, and I shot out of the office at 140 kmph, and got stuck in the stupid rush hour traffic yet again
, I tried to call her cell , but found out that in my panic, I had left the cell phone in my office ![]()
The worst 2 hours of my life… 4:30 PM to 6:30 PM, I was panicking, I almost got myself killed on the highway… and when I got home, there was no message no nothing. I called the cell again and her friend picked up this time. She told me that the paramedics had taken her to the hospital.
I said I will be there in 10 minutes flat. I asked her to give the phone to my wife, so I could talk to her.. She sounded soooo weak - totally frightened…
Got to the hospital… Spent another 15 minutes trying to trace her, in the General ward, Emergency ward, etc etc. Finally found her, Thanks God she was sitting up, on the bed. The nurse on duty told me that she was okay , it was just some allergy to the medicine, but the doc. needed to certify before she could leave the hospital…
I cant tell you how GLAD I was to see her and to hear that she was OKAY
Anyway.. to cut a long story short. Things are normal and quiet now. Kids are sleeping, She is home, sleeping too. Fine shine. Not a 100% but will need a day or two to get back to normal.
AND I am going to sue that ar$ehole doc first thing tomorrow morning.
