30 November 2008
it was probably the worst 48 hours in my life.
everything happened so fast.
all i know before IT happened was I was frantically telling dad - 'Ayah! Stop!'
all i know is we hit it.
before i knew it, i was shivering, still conscious, but shivering, bad.
the airbags flew out and white dust as a result from the bags flew past us.
mum at the front passenger seat was groaning.
i sat up. the pole.
it was smashed. the car was smashed.
it was crazy. i didn't know what to do.
mum, dad.
someone screamed.. 'get out of the car, out!'
i knew i wasn't dreaming when i got out of the car.
i held my chest. it pinched me real tight.
it's hard to breathe. but i was okay.
i checked on mum, she was still in pain.
dad was already out.
the car was smashed.
the engine went into the car.
it was utter crazy.
i held my chest it was in pain. the seatbelt.
though it helped me from going into whatever worse that could happen,
it killed my chest near my heart.
i was scared. never in my life was i THAT scared.
i couldn't help but cry like a 6 year old.
passer by and neighbours were of great help.
it suddenly started to rain.
the sirens of the ambulance started wailing.
everything after that was a blur.
when i woke up, i was already in a hospital bed.
emergency ward, that's what they called.
nurses checked me thoroughly.
everything was okay.
no bleeding.
and i thought.. 'Mum? Dad?'
they said they were fine too.
and it was already 3pm.
after 9 pure hours of lying down in freaking ass shit pain in my chest and a round of panadeine,
it was finally my turn to be CAT scanned.
12am. my bruises were getting bigger.
the nenek beside me in ED was noisy.
she wanted something the nurses refuse to give.
CAT scan results showed negative liver, gall bladder and lung infections.
there wasn't any fluids too.
the bruises were mainly from the seat belt impact.
my soft tissues were ruined.
my left shoulder was burning.
they said i should stay in for a night.
transferred me to a ward.
cried myself to sleep.
and never stopped wondering why this happened.
when i woke up earlier today.
mum was in the room with me.
she was lying in the bed opposite me.
she fractured her 11th and 12th ribs.
quite bad.
dad was in the other room.
he had pains due to the seat belt too.
but, the important thing, everyone survived.
He gave us a chance to live another day.
it couldv'e been worse.
i know it could.
and for whatever happens there is a reason.
for whatever reason it is, i don't know.
but for whatever it is, i'm strong enough to face another day.
admitted at St George hospital: Saturday 29th Nov 2.40pm
discharged: Sunday 30th November 7pm.
injuries: abdominal injury and upper left chest due to seat belt.
current condition: okay ah. mum and dad is okay too though mum is a little more fragile.
what exactly happened: dad was driving we were otw to the mosque. driving down wollongong road a car from the other side of the road wanted to turn right from the other way. he was supposed to give way. but he just went into the side street. dad didnt have time to press the brakes. hit the front of the other car, we spinned and was smashed into a pole on the left hand side.
sesungguhnya Allah SWT Maha Mengetahui dan Maha Adil.
there will always be a reason behind everything.
cherish your life guys, you never know when it will be taken away from you.
