mama has been complaining of thigh pains for about four nights. on tuesday night it got worse, and i spent the whole night trying to figure out how to position her or what to rub for her. parents decided to admit her to A&E in the morning, just nice since mom had a CT scan and stuff on the same day.

i forced myself to bathe and change up and go with them because they would definitely need the help, plus i knew mama's day to day condition best so i wanted to speak to the doc myself. i stupidly brought a book along to read during the waiting time, but i think i only managed to read like one paragraph before my eyes shut tight.

mom left for her appointment after registering mama and daddy and i went through the whole long waiting game at the A&E. brief consult, proper consult, x-ray, second consult, wait in observation ward, send to transit ward to wait for more permanent ward. mom joined us after her scan in the early afternoon. we were at SGH from 9+am to 9pm. fantastic.

mama's comfy and quite satisfied with the nice bed that can sit her up and do all those cool things, and change of enviroment. plus she has nurses tending to her every call and she can just be wheeled to dialysis on her bed instead of being carried up and down the stairs and taking a long bumpy cab ride to hougang.

when i got home i immediately fell asleep on my mat since i hadn't slept at all for a FEW DAYS STRAIGHT. the wonders of a young body, thank God for helping me through. woke up only at 1:30pm today. lol. but i can tell that my body is sort of letting go now that i'm temporarily relieved of my responsibility. i have a sorethroat today and my muscles are aching like wow, especially my lower back. head is aching. should be the flu. trying to fight it off. eating mee hoon kway now.

it's pretty cool talking to the doc with all those medical terms (docs don't like it. they think you're acting smart.) like perm cath and osteoporosis and trocanter. heeheehee.
