the original plan was for me to bring ah gong's lunch to the hospital at 12pm. but dad suddenly called me at 10.49am to tell me that the consultant said that ah gong needed an operation immediately. so dad came home and fetch me to the hospital. but when we got to the ward ard 11.30am, ah gong had already been pushed to the operating theatre. so we went to level 3 to look for my maid. so we waited at the level 3 visitors lounge.
ard 12 plus we took turns to have lunch, my maid and i went to 7-11 to buy some finger food (which caused me to have stomach upset) as we were not that hungry. then there was this tv which we can on (but will auto turn off in 1 hr cus they say they wana save electricity) so we decided to on it while waiting. the first screen that came on was HBO - both of us went woa! got HBO! but alas ~ after 3 secs it switched to another channel and can u imagine that we had to bear with this channel switching for an hr? then another 2 hrs later we tried again - the same thing happened. until 5.30pm then the whole tv was working properly.
then my maid was filling me with all the details that happened in the morning while we were waiting. i got pretty pissed off with this:
(doc was making his rounds in the morning b4 operation)
ah gong: hello! jia ba bo? (have you eaten?)
doctor: *replies in mandarin*
my maid (to the doctor): can you speak hokkien or malay to ah gong? cus he dun understand mandarin.
doctor (to my maid): what language he speaks is his problem.
me (after listening to my maid): !#%#^$^$%&%^*
hey mr doctor, i mean my ah gong was being friendly and all and need u reply and be so rude?! kns! he was already in so much pain and u had to be like that? i mean of cus ah gong dun understand wad he said but i felt VERY pissed offffffff. hmmp!
and so my father, maid and me waited for ah gong the whole afternoon until ard 5plus where my mum and aunties joined us after work. i was really worried for the operation is taking a very long time and alot of patients who went in after ah gong came out first. i tell u its no fun sitting at the visitors lounge. ur heart twists and turns. it was until 7.30pm that ah gong came out. so we waited for around 8hrs for ah gong b4 he came out. everytime the door opens we will look if its him. its a relieve to see ah gong being pushed out finally but seeing the tubes and the blood and everything on ah gong made me want to cry (which i realli did in the ward later). see already also feel painful. if can i reali wished that i was the one who fell at least i got meat then youngsters fall easier to recover. then in addition ah gong have dementia which adds on to the already worse fractured arm erm - i realli duno how to start off with. yi yan nan jing.
anyway hes back at the ward now and i pray hard that he recovers fast. no infection *touch wood* he needs at least 6 weeks to fully recover. and his bp abit unstable.
im sure he will be able to recover fast.
