Sickness and hospitals


So this is a little off topic, but it's something I feel like I need to write about.

Recently a close relative was taken into hospital. after waiting forever for an ambulance he was rushed into 'Resus'.

Luckily, he is on the mend and back home being spoilt rotten by everyone and anyone that loves him. But one thing really stuck in my head.

When talking about his time in the hospital, especially the time he spent in resus he simply said: 'At that point if I had fallen asleep and never woken up again, I couldn't care less.'

It's something that really hit home with me, and really upset me too. I've never seen this family member anything but strong, and to see them in such a vulnerable position and hear them saying they didn't care if they ever woke up is heart wrenching.

I guess it puts things into perspective and really proves that even the strongest of us are not immortal.

Even Achillies had a weakness
