What a week

Friday 6 April 2012, our neighbor, an old and kind lady died. My mother, my wife and I were deeply saddened.

I woke up the next day a bit depressed and forced myself to go to work.

Sunday evening I started feeling pain in my chest; I drove to SV medical emergency.
ECG, blood test and x-ray did not reveal any abonrmalaties, however, the pain presisted.

They gave me the pill under the tongue, and I went home with some anti-anxiety medication.

Monday morning I felt better and I went to the office early.

Monday evening my mother started to complain about pain in her left rib cage; took her to emergency. ECG, Blood tests and x-ray did not reveal anything serious. The doctor said it was an inflammation.

I only went to work on Tuesday because my boss called for an important meeting.

Tuesday we were also suffering from several aircraft out of service, causing multiple delays.

I was exhausted and went home early. Of course Murphy visited me. My boss who rarely calls me, decided to call me that afternoon. My phone was not with me in the bedroom, so obviously I could not answer him.

I sent him a text message explaining why I could not answer his call.

Wednesday morning, we learned of the accidental death of one of our aircraft maintenance technicians while he was working on a B747-400 aircaft.

I pray to God I don't have another week like this.
