It was on Wednesday, 6th of December 2017. A day I will never forget in my life. It was a bright day, as I woke up early morning full of energy as usual. I was given appointment at the National Hospital to come on this day for tooth extraction.
................................................

It all started on Sunday, 12th of November when I started feeling pains in one of my teeth.
I was very uncomfortable in church on that Sunday and had to leave church to the hospital. On getting to the Federal Medical Center, Jabi in Abuja, I explained myself to the Doctor Who later proscribed drug for me and referred me to see a Dentist at the National Hospital, Abuja. I went to the National Hospital the following day and was told they will have to remove the tooth. I was given appointment to come for the extraction on the 6th of December.

.........................................
I left my house to the National Hospital in Abuja very early in the morning after eating well. I remembered I was told that I will not be able to eat for some hours after the extraction.

I got to the hospital at exactly 10.00am. I went to retrieve my file and did other necessary things to do.

After waiting for some minutes at the waiting room, I was called in to the theater at about 11:00am. I was told it's going to be a surgical extraction.

The surgical extraction took close to one and half hours and throughout the period of the operation, I was just praying to God to let it finished on time

After it ended, I was asked to bit hard on a Lipton bag to stop the bleeding. I noticed the bleeding was much during the operation but the doctors acted as if all was fine.

I was called in again after like an hour, the Lipton bag was removed and I was asked to bit hard on Cotton wool. I was given drugs to buy and was told the dos and don'ts. I was told to remove the cotton wool after 30mins and use my drugs to relieve me of the pains.

After 30mins, I removed the cotton wool and use the drugs on my way home. Mind you I was told to always swallow my spit which I was doing. Not knowing to me, I kept swallowing blood plus my spit cos the bleeding will not stop.

After getting home, I tried to rest as I was told. After like an hour of sleep, I woke up and discovered that I was seriously bleeding. I tried to stand up to check but was too weak. At that point I knew all was not well.

I went back to my bed, kept calm for like 5mins and tried to stand up again. This time, I cannot even stand again as I was too weak to stand.

I immediately called one of my neighbors to get me a cab to take me back to the hospital. On our way back to the hospital, I started vomiting blood. I vomited so much blood and it looked as if I've vomited all the blood in my body.

I was helped out of the car when we got to the hospital. After taking 2 steps, I signaled to my friend that was helping me that I can't walk again. As I wanted to sit on the flower pavement, lo and behold, that was the last thing I remember. The next thing I saw was that I was already on a wheelchair at the emergency unit and I saw people gathered around me. Some Doctors were running around.

Just after like 2 mins, I was put on a bed and needles were entering my body from everywhere. They started giving me drip and was told that I will also collect blood. Blood samples were collected and taken to the lab immediately.

I asked my friend what happened. He said we should just thank God that I was already dead, it was God that brought me back.

After like an hour when I was a little bit stable, they started asking questions and I told them I was there earlier for tooth extraction. They called the dentist on duty and I was taken back to the Dental Theater.

I was in the theater for another 4hours during which the doctors were working to stop the bleeding. While I was at the theater, I vomited blood like 4 more times.

I thank the Almighty God the blood later stopped after 4 hours of serious work from the Doctors.

I was placed on admission that night in order for them to monitor the progress. I was discharged the following evening when they were satisfied that I was OK.

I thank God for I'm alive today. Even though I was dead, God brought me back alive.
Hallelujah, I'm alive
