I'm typing away on my BB. At SGH now because my granny is now in ICU. She was admitted last night due to breathing difficulties. After all the tests, the specialists concluded that the 'water in the lungs' r due to a leaking valve. They would require a surgery to repair her heart valve, but need to do a couple more tests to access the risk level of the surgery.
It's been crazy since a call fr my aunt at 1am this morning. My popo was sent to East Shore but the $8k daily bill is too much for us, so we got her transferred to SGH. All 84years of age.. My popo has always been healthy n active. She does her daily marketing n walks in the park in her neighbourhood. She cooks yummy n nutritious soup for us when we pop by on the weekends for dinner with her.
It pains my heart to see her lying on the bed, all frail and vulnerable, with the tubes n breathing aid n all sorts of systems tracking her heartbeat, blood pressure... She is unable to talk because the breathing tube is right down to her windpipe. Poor popo. She must have been terrified when the nurses n docs started drawing her blood, doing all sorts of checks n all tubes n needles..
She kept waving her hand to ask me to go home,bt yet I see the fear in her eyes - she's scared of being alone. so I'm just hanging out at the lounge outside the ward and check on her occasionally. Meanwhile the entire extended family is on red alert and are all told to sleep with their mobile phone within close proximity.
Popo needs her surgery soon because she's in critical condition. I really hope her condition will stablise..
Dear popo.. Pls get well soon..
