A day i will never forget.

A DAY I WILL NEVER FORGET!
I remember the day vividly. The sky was as blue as ocean. The sun was as bright as a button, waking up everything around it as fit as fiddle. In garden flowers looked as beautiful as a souvenir. It was a beautiful and perfect morning of autumn. The memory of the day is as clear as crystal. When I think of that day the pain becomes as fresh as daisy.
It was around eight years back when this incident hit me. I woke up with an abrupt pain however the pain was tolerable at that time. In spite of this I was forced to wake up from my warm bed because of the pain. I thought the pain was normal so I didn’t take it serious. Eventually the pain increased and became unbearable. I started screaming with the intolerable pain. Mama came to the room and asked me “What happened?” I told her that I had a bad tummy pain. She said rest for some time you’ll be fine. I tried to go back to sleep but was unsuccessful. As time passed by the pain become unacceptable.
However I tried to drag myself out of bed in order to get ready for school but failed. As the pain increased I started screaming louder than ever. Papa came and carried me to the longue. I told papa that I have a severe pain on the right side of my stomach. After hearing this everyone started panicking. My grandma said “Its appendix, we need to take her to the hospital before it’s too late!” Despite the fact that my grandma said it, no one believed it. Everyone said “She is too small to be suffering from appendix.” Papa s said he wanted to wait for his elder brother to come before he makes any decision. After my uncle came I told him everything and he said “Its appendix we have to take her in the emergency?” They called the hospital and informed them.
Finally we reached to the hospital and I was taken to the emergency room and the doctors examined me and they told me to go and do video x-ray. After the report had come I was admitted in the hospital. Later in the day I was operated. The doctors said if it was later than this, the appendix would have burst. I was in drip after I was operated though I was still unconscious.
However after I gained my consciousness back I realized I was surrounded by so many people. This is the most memorable day in my life, and I will never be able to get over the fact that I was operated when I was in Grade 2. I thought it was end of my life however it was not.

Wow, that's an incredible experience! It makes a very good story now, but it must have been terrifying at the time!
