“Kuya, please come to the hospital. I met an accident.”
My heart beat suddenly rose from its usual 52 count to nearly a hundred when I heard my sibling’s voice on the other line trembling.I rushed to her not knowing what really happened and was only guided by the fact that she is in ER alone.
I arrived half an hour later leaving significant amount of uncompleted task at work to attend to my sister.
I was relieved seeing my cousins already there. They came to the rescue when my uncle called them upon hearing the news from me. My cousins related that my sister has a crucial fall in Buendia-Taft while trying to catch a bus going to Makati CBD. And that, this fall might result to a dislocated elbow or worst, a fracture.
An hour in the waiting area seemed like eternity. When I finally heard the doctor’s assessment, I became uneasy–he will do a manual reduction to bring back the humerus (the upper arm bone), the ulna (the larger bone of the forearm) to its original position.Seeing my sister cringe every time feels like a dagger is being buried deeper into my heart.
I wanted to just doze off and wish that this is all a dream. But reality bit me hard and I can’t do anything but to hold on to Faith and let Him do His miracles.
Six hours in the ER, 3 re-aligning and x-ray sessions were carried out. After finally settling the bill, we were discharged and sent home.
During this ordeal, a few people reached out. And I realized most of these who got my phone ringing in the waiting area are people I have met online. I have shared my life through this past year that I made virtual relationships turn into real ones.
I might not be able to discuss this personally but through this post, I wish to share this story to all of you in its entirety.
