Page 23 - Fat Burning Fingerprint (Gary Watson) : Flip It & Read It

When they got there, the nurses rushed her away on a stretcher
while the girls and Uncle Eric sat in the waiting room staring at

each other in disbelief...

They couldn’t believe what happened... It came out of

nowhere...

One minute they’re talking about their marriages and the next

they’re waiting on pins and needles to see if they’ll ever hear
my sister’s voice again...

Eric frantically called me from the waiting room and did his best
to tell me what happened while fighting back tears...

My whole world was immediately turned upside down and I
found myself struggling to breathe like someone just punched

me in the gut...

I told Eric to keep me updated as I tried to make sense of this
horrible news...

I knew my sister didn’t have the healthiest diet and relied on too

many sugary sodas to get her through the day...

However, she didn’t show any serious signs of something being
terribly wrong...

After what felt like hours on the worst emotional rollercoaster you

could ever imagine, Eric called me back with the good news...

Geri was awake and talking with the girls...

Her doctor said she narrowly missed out on having a heart attack,
however after running some tests she wasn’t out of the woods just

yet...

Her blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol levels were

extremely high...

She was diagnosed with hereditary heart disease and chronic

fatigue, which explained why she was tired all the time...
The doctor went on to say that her heart was recovering, however

she might feel a little weak for the next few weeks...
