Darling's grandmother is in hospital for a super serious throat infection. She has been ill since last Wednesday. Was warded only on Friday, and then had her operation on Monday. She is now in ICU and will be there for another 2 weeks.
Her neck was swollen like a toad..due to a collection of pus. The infection actually went all the way to her oesophagus, which actually tore as a result. Hence, right now, the place that she has been operated on is still left open, as the docs need to check that it has healed properly. It of course does not help that she has diabetes...which of course makes her more susceptible to infections.
Sigh...i've been in and out of hospitals so much lately, that I feel I should be the one staying in there. First it was Darling, then my mum, and now darling's grandma.....
In a way, I'm glad that she is in ICU, as it ensures that she gets the care that she requires...in the normal ward, there are usually so many trainee nurses that the patients end up getting more neglected....in that way, at least all of us do not have to spend the entire day there, as we can't go in either.
Hm....of course, the entire hospital thingy is not the only thing that's causing me to feel so drained.
Had the pre-camp the weekend before, and much as the ygz are learning to work together more effectively, they are still unprepared, and not armed with the right mentality for the camp. There is truly no sense of urgency at all, and darling, angela and myself are just hoping that come tomorrow, they will be ready...
My school's P5 camp just ended. There was a big hoo-ha over my absence on Monday, but I don't feel like talking about it. Ultimately, certain pple just took advantage of me, and I got really upset, and walked off, neglecting my duties, coz I had to rush off to hospital. The pple involved went to tell my principal, which led to myself getting a big fat scolding. But, I had nothing to fear, although I acted irresponsibly, but I was put in a very dire situation, and had to make a choice between the lesser of two evils. Whichever choice I made would have its own bad consequences, so I made the one which would lay less on my conscience.
Right now am at Darling's place, after which, we'll be dropping by to the hospital later, and then to the prep camp tonight. Tonight we've got to work them hard, and make sure that all possible preparations are done for tomorrow. I somehow have a very bad feeling that they've left out many many things.......
ARGH......I feel like pulling my hair out. There's just so so much to do. On a lighter note, my new evening gown design looks really good....but I really have to lose weight and tone up my flabby tummy come December...have decided that I should be the only one who knows how my dress would look like. No one else ought to know..hehe..so I can give a surprise to everyone on that day itself........
The preparations for my wedding will only increase with time...not to mention all the other things that we have to do...... I think i'll really need the remaining weeks of holiday to rest if I can... thank god for the getaway that darling and myself have planned for our 54th monthsary... that's the only thing i'm looking forward to right now...... =)
