A look into an unforgettable day in my life

Unforgettable memories stick to us like the plague because of the memories they hold, whether they are good or bad. We always seem to remember them and can't get over it. I have had several unforgettable memories, some of which I have shared here. But today I would like to share one of the saddest days of my life, what happened, and how it affected me. I hope you're enjoying the read.

A few years ago, I was at work, and then I felt pain within me, and before I knew it, I couldn't stand the pain again, so I took a break to go for a medical check-up. By the time I got to the clinic, I had made some complaints and been given some drugs to use, but none of them quenched the pain I felt, so I was referred to the hospital for a further check-up. When I got there, I underwent some tests, and I got one of the saddest pieces of news I've ever heard via the results of the test.

The results of the test show I have a liver problem. This literally shackled me; I was in disbelief, in shock, and wondering how come, I've seen someone have kidney failure, liver issues, and several others, and the end result was bad for each of them, so immediately that was what I pictured myself as, and I went into depression, frustrated to the point of blaming God, because I felt I was his son and did everything to please him, so why would he allow such a thing to happen to me?

Immediately, the doctor saw how I reacted to the news. He tries to encourage me by telling me it's not the end of the world. He also suggested that I go for a further check-up so as to know if it will require an operation or just continuous medication to prevent the worst-case scenario. So after going for the further checkup, I was told it wasn't that bad and I would not need an operation; instead, I'll have to be placed on lifetime medication and also come to the hospital for a regular medical checkup.

Never have I been so depressed. I lost the will to live, dream, and do many other things. I wished it was a dream and tried to pinch myself to wake up, only to realize it's reality and there is nothing I can do to change it after all the discussion with the doctors. I went home and spoke with my fiance about it just so she'd be aware. Although she said it wasn't a big deal, not long after that I discovered her attitude had changed. It could be that I'm the one imagining things, but then, in order to save her from such a miserable life, I decided to end our relationship. I don't want her to become a widow at such a tender age. That's just an example of the extent to which I give up on life through the news.

Fortunately for me, I've been able to turn the tides around. At least now I am dreaming and have the will to live again, unlike I felt then. And that's all thanks to the network of people I have around me. That doesn't mean I told everyone around me, but at least I told my family and some of my friends, and they are always there to encourage me and give me some advice, which has helped me rekindle the fire in me.

That is about all for one unforgettable day in my life. Although it was a sad one, I learned some lessons from it. The write-up was inspired by the Hive Ghana community writing prompt.
