Through the stained-glass window, the heat of the sun beams on my face while mellifluous birds chirp in unison. I yearn to be outside on this spring day, listening to the sounds of nature, and children’s chortles, but my body lays limp.
Something is wrong. The hospital is bustling, and I hear shouting. “He is coding!” The doctor is giving orders and then I hear the sound of the defibrillator.
“Clear!” Thump. “Again.” “Clear!” Thump. “Again.” “Clear!” Thump.
The monitor steadies and the doctor sighs relief. “He has stabilized. This patient is determined.”
After my arduous episode, I rest soundly.
