DOUBLE MEDICAL TROUBLE

 



Planned was to send dad for his foot's dressing at the hospital...which initially was to be done by Jeff alone. Somehow the rain yesterday had caused him ( and me) to have a terrible headache .

As finding a parking space at the hospital would be something to dread  of, I went along with mom tagging as well.
I opted to be the driver while he attended to dad's needs and paper work at the ER unit.

*I was lucky to find a single parking not far away from the canteen.

*Dad got admitted again...as expected.
 - his wound seems to have opened up. Most likely he had put  pressure on the toe sometime yesterday.

After getting him settled at the first class ward this time around  (his status as past assemblyman entitle him to free medical treatment at the first class ward) , we went out to have lunch at the hospital canteen.
Initial plan was,Jeff was to come back and be with dad while mom run some errands prior to coming back and staying with him during night time.

Mom called and complained of her chest pains....she was gasping for breath when Jeff found her at her home later. She was immediately taken to seek medical attention at her regular clinic.

The Doctor diagnosed  her as being seriously overstressed . He gave her some pills to 'pop' with another appointment to run some tests first thing tomorrow morning.
He had initially referred her to seek further treatment for a similar problem at the Specialist center in Damai or SMC in KK two years ago.. ...which she had totally forgotten to take up.

Total rest for the remaining day  for mom...Jeff stayed overnight at the hospital to attend to dad 's needs

the day after she was kept for observation and more tests at DOK hospital
