Look at my subject title.
Really, please do not ever underestimate the level of destruction of a minor stomach ache. Correction: Please do not underestimate ANY kind of illness. If you were feeling unwell, go see a doctor immediately before it get worse!
Take me for an example, I wasn’t feeling the pink of health today due to the crushing pain of my tummy (which turns out to be gastric) and I still naively thought that I could endure the pain while attending an event. How stupid one can get?
I was not even halfway to the event’s location, I was already moaning in pain on the train. By the kind gesture of strangers, I managed to get a seat on the train while boyfriend, who was with me, seemed so worried looking at me. To be honest, there’s really nothing that anyone else can do to ease the pain and torment. No matter how much you groan, the pain won’t go away. That is the worst part.
So we u-turn back and got a cab to the nearest hospital and TA-DA! I was in the A&E department waiting for a miracle to happen and he was stuck there with me for the next 3 hours. By then, I cannot even speak properly but somehow the doctor and nurses managed to piece up what I was talking about. 
Injected with a jab of painkilling liquid, put on the drip and I fell asleep. By the time I woke up and thanks goodness, the jab works and I felt so much better. That kind of feeling is like you are in heavens, you know? Try going through the hell of pain and then the relief of comfortableness. It was the most awesome feeling of being alive.
Called mom to inform her my condition and she freaked out a little. Moreover, she was at my sick uncle’s place looking after him during that time. Even though I told her to rest and there’s no need to come since boyfriend was there looking after me too, she still cabbed down and checked on my condition. Sometimes, I really feel that she is putting too much stress on herself to look after everyone. Sigh.
In any case, please take me as an example and do not ever overestimate your body condition or disregard any illness. Never be so headstrong and stubborn. You only live once.
P/S: My family is going through a lot right now, especially for my uncle. According to my tired and stressed mother who has been looking after him for months now, he might not be able to make it through for more than 2 weeks from now. It is a really depressing news but I guess all of us have been prepared for this day. It’s not a joke to have heart conditions, lung cancer, kidney cancer and kidney failure all at the same time.
Really really really, I urge everyone to take care of your own health!
