Boy that hurt!!

[suzanne]

Its 8.30 pm and Im not feeling very well so I decide to take myself off to bed. I lie there tossing and turning then finally give up, im feeling worse by the minute so decide to make a milky drink.
 
I sit watching telly sipping my drink when suddenly I feel nausious, I run to the toilet and just make it. I am sitting on the cold lino floor wishing I had listened to my mother, I had been feeling ill for a few days now, she wanted me to go stay with her but I said no I will be okay. The pains in my stomach are now getting worse and I start to panic, I realise that I need to get to hospital and I dont have a phone.
 
"Pull yourself together" I think to myself. All I have to do is get to the main road and I can flag down a taxi. I get dressed inbetween the pains, I grab a bag with a few essentials and head toward the main road. It seems like miles away and the street is deserted.

I wait for the pain to subside and then walk as fast as I can towards the lights. No one is around and I look at my watch, its 11.45pm. I reach the main road just as another pain begins to grip me, at least someone will find me if I pass out im thinking although looking up and down the road and there is not a soul in sight.

The pain starts to ease off and I see a taxi approaching with its lights on. I take a deep breath and head towards the kerb with my hand held out.
 
I climb into the back of the taxi before he can see how ill I am because I am worried that he might refuses to take me.
 
He looks in his rear mirror and I can see hes not happy. "Simpsons Maternity Hospital please" I said. He turns around and looks at me for what seemed like ages..."Do I need to put my foot down?" he asks. "Yes please" I said...and he did.

That was 20 years ago to the day, to the hour and my first born came into the world at 7.26am.

I remember it all like it was yesterday. I cant believe it was 20 years ago...where did all those years go!!

Happy Birthday David X
