Christianity in Ghana and the Spiritual Sickness

[BrokenQuill92]

I was actually afraid for my safety which I'd never felt before. I was thinking that what if I had gotten to the point where I was beyond words (which has happened), and all she did was tell me to pray. I'm not sure why it freaked me out so badly last night, when usually I trust my mother the most in the world. But all I can think is that I don't EVER want to be that close to loosing  consciousness near a religious person again. Not ever again.

My mother is the same way. I love her, more than I can express--but I don't trust her as far as I can throw her when it comes to the issue of medical emergencies.  She fucked around for days praying about a life-threatening medical condition of a close family member, before she finally called 911. The family member survived, but now has serious renal impairment--the direct result of a more than 72 hour delay in treatment. I can't remember ever feeling such disgust with someone I've known personally, and it's disturbed me to have such feelings towards a parent. I got over the anger eventually, but it does not change the fact that my mother cannot be trusted to make a sound decision when it comes to life or death. Please keep your phone on your person at all times. I hope you are able to see a doctor soon, if you haven't already.

I wonder if I qualify for one of those life alert badges?
