I arrived at S around 5pm. She was still downstairs making the last dish. We talked and got the dish ready. KJ arrived shortly after Chen got home and we started munching on bread and dips and my spinach artichoke pastry and drinking Jasmine tea martini. S’s steaks are as good as always and she had 3 or 4 side dishes, too. I loved them all and especially the hot pepper sauce. I am paying for it today, but man it was good.
When we were widning up and I was actually thinking about going home, s told me that she’s calling 911 for chen. I said, what?! He was laying on the couch and said he was not feeling good. His hands were cold to the touch but he was sweating over a cold head. He said his blood sugar was very low. After a few minutes, we were trying to decide to go to the emergency room or not, he got up and took the blood sugar test again. It was up and he was feeling better. He went and laid back down on the couch and he was not feeling good again. So we all got up and S took him to Akron General. I and KJ followed in our respective cars. When we go in, the desk said they are doing a triage on him and 15 minutes later, S walked out and said they are admitting him and he is already in his room. She asked us to go home and said she’ll call if she needs anything. So we left. I wanted to stay but doesn’t want to be a hassle either.
This morning I called before 9. S is already coloring her hair at a beauty salon. She said they came home around 5am in the morning. They ran a lot of tests, and his blood sugar came back up. They thought it may have something to do with the medicine he’s taking. And he’ll see his regular doctor next week. He was sleeping and she is doing her hair. Everything is back to normal.
She said she is used to this by now with so many scares and emergency situations. Man, that must be hard on both of them. One with physical problem the other with mental stress. Health at our age is so important. And it also confirmed my belief of living for today and do what you want to do now within reason. And again I’m thankful for my health and for the ability to enjoy life the way I want to.
Be thankful for your health and enjoy NOW.
