Chapter 8

“I could hear the surgery going on in the room next to mine. They were trying to wake a patient and I could hear him moaning in pain. My anxiety shot through the roof. Shit.

Professor Choong came in then, said hello, and walked straight over to a bench filled with papers and other hospital equipment. I wondered what he was doing? His head was bowed down, like he was writing, but he didn’t have a pen in his hand. He stayed that way for a couple of minutes, then lifted his head up and with his hands, gesturing the cross across his chest. He was praying? Really? Wait a second, he’s praying for me?

I lost it. I smiled at him through the fog of tears and the massive lump in my throat, thanking him repeatedly, not used to having a complete stranger care about me the way he did.

Watching him walk back into the operating room, I had to talk myself into finding some sort of strength or courage. My hands were ice cold from fear and my mouth as dry as dust. I didn’t want to go in there giving up before it had even started. I didn’t want to be scared any more. I wanted to be strong.

I visualised myself waking up after surgery, seeing Paul and holding my babies in my arms. I may not have known what to expect, but in that moment, I knew what I wanted. I wanted to live…..”
