JOYS OF LIFE -2 [NOT EDITED]

TWO MONTHS LATER!
Chapter 81.

SWELIHLE MAJOLA

After spending torturous months in hospital, I was finally discharged today. I was only happy to be going home now. I just never imagined myself spending Christmas and New Year's in a hospital bed with my family surrounding my bed to keep me company.

After my heart attack, I had been suffering from chest pains and they were becoming a regular occurrence so Dr Frank decided to keep me in hospital for closer monitoring. On top of it all, I had to face the trauma of having blood clots come out of me, the same blood clots that caused my baby to die. I now fully understood what mom was going through when she miscarried, it was just like history repeating itself at this point. When the blood clots were removed from my body, i then started having periods and it's sad to say till this day I'm still experiencing them. Worst of all, they come with these intense pains in my abdomen area which sometimes causes me to be unable to walk or do anything for myself. Dr Frank believes it is my body cleaning itself after I had clots around my womb and he said to let it continue until it stops on its own because if I stop the bleeding then that would be me causing myself to suffer from Fabroids.

Mom: "Uright lapho Swe?" She asked turning to glance at me.

Me: "Yes mah." We were driving home now. I was sitting between Gogoh and Xoli who both didn't seem to want to let go of my hands.

Xoli: "Mah, can we get some McDonalds?"

Dad: "You can get it except for your sister. She has to stick to her healthy diet." It's just so boring to be me right now.

Xoli: "Hawu babah! Hhayi it's fine then, we can get those chicken salads okungcono ke." She continues pleading making me chuckle. This girl was so supportive, making me be very grateful to have her by my side.

Mom: "I will make it ekhaya ke." We finally got home and everyone was waiting for us outside.

Me: "And then?"

Mom: "Everyone is happy to have you back home sthandwa sami." I smiled faintly, silently praying that they don't ask me questions of how I feel.

Auntie Linds: "Oh my baby!!!" She said immediately rushing to help me out the car and holds me tightly in her arms.

Me: "I missed you too auntie."

Auntie: "I'm so happy to see you mntanami. We were so worried bakithi." She said hugging me again and then leads me to the others. Sis Ntokozo hugs me too

Sis Ntokozo: "iCreche yakho has been crying for you nkosiyami." We both laugh.

Me: "Ahh I'm home now."

Sis Ntokozo: "It's good to have you back sis."

Me: "I see you making me an aunt again, huh?!" I say rubbing her slightly swollen stomach.

Sis Ntokozo: "and ngiyagcina sisi." We chuckle.

Bhuti Sqalo: "Woza phela nakuthina!" He says dramatically making everyone laugh.

Me: "Bhuti." He hugs me tightly and kisses my head before we turn to this beautiful lady. I wave at her.

Bhuti Sqalo: "Meet your sister in law, Nonkazimulo. Baby, this is my sister ke that i told you about."

Sis Nonka: "Unjani sisi?! Your brother is always raving about you and I'm hapoy to finally meet you."

Me: "Likewise sisi. You're also making me an aunt?! Wow!" I say after feeling her bump rub against me when we were hugging. Bhuti clears his throat loudly.

Bhuti Sqalo: "let's go inside so you can sit." It's like he knew how much I needed to sit. I was already feeling dizzy by standing for that long.

Iyana: "Seeehhhhh!" She screamed as soon as I took my seat with her buddy behind her who also was screaming and crawling to me.
