Last updated was some time ago. Guess my life is officially a bore!
Well not much of a bore, but a lot of stressing turns along the journey. See, beginning of this month, my mom decided to go for her op that she have long postpone. When she told us that it’s time for the op, my heart dropped. I was scare all over again. You see, when my dad passed away, it’s not due to the op. The op was a success. It was the after the op that his health started to go down the drain. So naturally, I was scare.
It happened last week, my panic attack. Mom was admitted on Thursday. I had to leave for work while she was still doing her MRI scan. I didn’t get to say goodbye. So off I went, thinking whatever possibilities that could happen on the operation table the next day. I could barely concentrate at work. Right after work, I dashed to KK. When I say dash, I meant took the bus, which was like 10000000 years la. When I reached, my mom was already on the bed, looking pretty calm for someone who was gonna be cut up in 12 hours. We chatted, she reminded me to feed Boon, clean the house and what’s not. It broke my heart to leave her alone at the hospital.
When I reached home, the panic attack came. I immediately texted Peter and told him that what time is the op and that I would like to be there before my mom was wheeled in. You see, I only applied for afternoon half day leave as I didn’t know what time was the op. The op was at 11am and I was left hanging. So I asked Peter if I could leave at 10am so that I can rush to the hospital to see my mom. Then come back around 1130 and stay at work until 3pm then rushed to the hospital again. He told me to just leave at 10 am and stay at the hospital.
I’m not trying to be modest at that point of time la, but I felt bad that I took half day and ended up working only for 1 and half hours instead of 4. Not fair right? So I told Peter that I was so torn apart, that it’s driving me crazy. Being a sweet boss and a human being that he is, he immediately called me and told me not to worry. He laid out the plan, asked me to come to work as usual, clear whatever I had, and leave at 930. He will drive me to KK. Now people, tell me, where in the world can you get a boss as sweet as Peter? He told me that this is an exceptional case and family will always be number one, no matter what.
And so, the next day, I went to work as normal. He came up to talk to Suken and Aric about my situation and they agreed to let me go. See? My colleagues are the best! They totally understand what I was going through and they are very nice!!
BUT…..My mom called and said that the op was rescheduled to 9 am and she will be wheeled in soon. I was pissed! There was no way that I can get to see my mom. She called me only 5 mins to 9am.
So, I called Peter and explained to him the new situation. He was sorry that I did not get to see my mom. What can I do? So I stayed till lunch and took cab, thinking that Mom will be out by 2. But no! I had to wait and wait until 4 plus, then she was out.
She was conscious when they brought her back (in one piece, Alhamdullilah). It turned out that she was conscious all along, even through the op. Ok; I cannot elaborate on the op that much here. She will be pissed. Well, anyway, the main thing is that everything is well.
So over the weekend, I was running here and there. Thank you for all who came to visit, who called and for the Get Well hampers. It made my mom smile. And that’s all that counts.
Life for me personally has been normal. Work, go back, face the laptop for god knows how many hours, then sleep. It has become a routine and I am just passing through the motions. -_-
Things to look forward to, simpang session with Maz. And with Iana and Myn, if we plan it soon. Oooh! And Indah’s wedding. It’s gonna be at Orchid Country Club and I am still figuring out what to put on. Hmmm…No worries, I’ll think of something la. Oh yeah, 17-Nov, DHL will be having a Movie Nite. We will be watching 2012. Been a while since I’ve watched a movie. Last was The Proposal, which was about 2 months back! Lama kan!!Haha!!
Oh yeah! I recently spoke to a friend of mine. He has now become a she. Well, we have always known that he very girly back in school. And now that I found that she is now a she, well, I’m not that surprised. Hehe!! She just got hitched like last week! Congrats babe! Still love you no matter what. Spoke to her on the phone, and we exchanged life stories and such. It has been such a long time; she didn’t even know that my father has passed. So sorry babe, I just didn't know how to contact you at that time.
Now, I know a lot of people shun away from these types of people. But they are people too kan? I’m not judging. People have their own opinions and I respect that. But when I hear her sad endeavors, I feel that even people don’t like them, the least that people can do is to walk away quietly and not make faces, point and gasp. Even I don’t like certain stuff about people, but I don’t make faces and all. Basic courtesy people!
Ok la. Da penat ni….waiting for time to balek and see how Mom is doing!
