Snippet



CHAPTER 1





February 17th, 2009

“Ms. Love, are you feeling okay?”

“Yea.”

“Your heart is beating dangerously fast. We’re going to





move you to a separate room in the ICU unit.”



“Okay.”



The smell of Clorox hit my nose. The bright hospital

lights blinded my eyes. As the doctors filled the room and

stared at me with amazement I lay there wondering what

the big deal was.



“Okay Ms. Love we’re going to try to slow your heart

down. It should be beating around 80 times per minute;

it’s up to 200. That’s extremely high.”



As they injected me with the first shot of medicine

my heart literally stopped. My chest tightened. My face

grimaced. Fear ran through my body. I had to remain calm.

“No changes. Do it again.”



The second shot had the same effect, or lack thereof.

My heart still raced rapidly. After the third dose they

stopped. By that time I was given permission to invite

my boyfriend into the room; who I instructed to call my

family. As hours passed the doctors were confused as to

what exactly was wrong with me. My heart began to slow

down after numerous IV’s. Over 20 to be exact. My pee

was clear.



By midnight so many of my family members had

come and gone bearing gifts and love, fear and confusion,

desperation and anger. They all came and left with the same

question, what is wrong with her? Through it all I never

feared for my life until I saw the fear in my boyfriend’s

eyes. As he grabbed my hand and begged me not to leave

him I knew he was sincere.



Tears filled my eyes. How could the same eyes that

were so cold and enraged nearly 24 hours earlier be so

needy and desperate? I knew then and there that I had to

pull through. If not for me, for him.
