A long Long Weekend....

Last weekend was a long weekend for me. My family came to visit me on 30 Aug. We have a good time until 1st Sep when my mother said that she felt pain near her stomach. I sent her to Penang GH, see general doctor and the doctor recommend us to see specialist on Monday.

I thought everything will be ok then. I brought them to picnic, and even have a seafood dinner at night. Things happened after the seafood dinner. My mom told me that she feel more and more painful now. She found difficulty to breathe now. Immediately, all of us drive back from Penang to SP at 1am. I sent her to emergency and she was admitted to hospital at around 3.30am.

I was so tired. Just imagine, wake up at 7am, go out for dim sum, go for shopping, and then come back for bath. In the afternoon, go out again for picnic until 7pm. Go back to bath and go for seafood dinner plus a short shopping at Tesco. These activities took around 17 hours.

After an hour driving back to SP GH, it’s around 2am in the morning. It took 1 hour before they admit my mother in the ward. By the time we reach the ward, it is already 3.30am in the morning, my mother was still in pain at that time, nurse and doctor ask a lot of things before we can really rest. By the time we can rest, I can only sleep on a chair. It’s hard to sleep; I can only take some nap. Doctors and nurses come again early in the morning at 5.30am. Hence, we didn’t really sleep at all. That means, we already awake for almost 24 hours.

I waited until my sister to take over my place at 8am, and then only I managed to rush home to have a sleep before I go to hospital again at 1.30pm. The first day was the worst. Next few days better since I bring the lazy chair to sleep there at night. It took 4 days before my mother discharged from hospital. I am tired, but this is not my concern…I just hope that these things won’t happen anymore.
