OCTOBER 13,2016

Do you know someone whom you thought would be there for you when the going gets tough? Someone who would care the most about you? But when bad situations come, they’re nowhere to be found. Then you found yourself with people whom you least expected to care but they were there for you?

So, I was rushed to St. Luke’s Emergency Room last Tuesday night. My legs were feeling numb. It’s the same feeling we get when the dentist injects anesthesia on our gums. It started on my feet the night of October 6. We were alarmed on the day they sent me to Emergency Room because the feeling reached up to my thighs already. As per the doctor, it is some kind of peripheral neuropathy which I don’t have an idea about until I experienced it myself. Well, I’m not going to talk about the details why I got hospitalized because it would be irrelevant and boring. Rather, I want to share my thoughts in this situation.

For others, this is just a simple condition and there are other people suffering from more serious diseases. But that’s my point. Would you care only if it is worse? In this situation, I got random regards mostly from unexpected people. Of course, my mom, my sister, my boyfriend and my closest friend are there for me. I got SMS, calls, letters, cute stuff and others even sent me packed dinner while there’s one who even dropped by at our house just to give me an oil which may help me recover back my senses. Emotionally, it really helps to know that there are people who really care for you.

On the other hand, it is sad that many of the people that I thought would care, DID NOT. It is even disappointing that I got SMS from other people asking for a favor or other things from me when they know my situation. Some even made fun of my condition repeatedly bumping on me because they know that I am feeling “numb”. Okay, I got it that it’s a joke. But is it really right to joke about it? But that’s how it is. It is just frustrating to know that the people whom you thought will be there for in times of need are not there for you.
