0:00On Saturday, June 19th, 2024, at exactly 11.15am, I walked into the Kaiser Permanente Urgent Care Center, alone. My breath was unsteady, my left leg numb, my heart fluttering in a way that didn't feel like nerves, but danger. And in that moment, I wished deeply for a husband's steady presence, a hand to hold, a voice to say, I'm here, but I was alone. Still, I entered that building as if stepping onto a runway. A sultry Ralph Lauren Fee, neck red dress, nude strappy sandals, black painted toes. Because even in what I jokingly call my sick and nearly dead state. Thank you, Joe Cross. I hold on to my femininity. It's my armor, my ritual, my mother's teaching. But beneath all that polish, the truth remained.
1:00I was by myself. A severe drop in potassium caused by my prescribed medication had pushed me to the edge of a possible heart attack. The medical team moved fast. IV potassium, tablets, monitoring a new doctor, a new medication, and slowly, my body began to stabilize, hats off to the doctors. Hours later, 10.30 pm, I walked out of urgent care, still alone, still exhausted, still processing how close I'd come. And then, a moment, a spark. A strikingly handsome doctor, tall, elegant, walked toward me. He smiled, and he winked. Thank heavens. At least I didn't look like I had danced with death. My mother always taught me to present myself well in public. So, a quiet thank you to Ralph Lauren for designing dresses that make a woman feel alluring, even when her world is falling apart.
2:00It's funny how divine intervention works. How a single wink can soften a terrifying day. How a stranger's warmth can feel like a message from above. Because the truth is, I was utterly alone during this chapter of my life. And I can admit it now. These are the quiet musings of a woman longing for companionship, longing for a husband's presence, longing not to weather storms and solitude. This was my reminder that even in fear, even in loneliness, grace still finds its way to me. You've been listening to Miyazee Edwards, stories, new episodes drop daily, except Saturdays and Sunday, my rest days. Until next time, stay inspired and keep your heart open for love.
