Eat Full Nothing To Do

10.15am: Received a call from my sister. Saying my mother is squeezing her fists. Like using a lot of effort. Asks me to rush down to take a look.

10.17am: I am scolding (^&^%&() after the call. I only slept @ 5am this morning. Very tired.

10.18am: Received a sms from my sister. "I am afraid either another stroke relapse or fit"

10.22am: I called back. I asked her to make the decision. I am no doctor, what's the point of me going over to her place @ boon lay when NUH is much nearer to my place.

10.33am: I followed the call with 2 sms. I explained that i need to sleep abit more coz i slept damn late. And need to go beach road to get some stuff for range. And also requested for either she or the maid to go hospital with my mother, because they saw the symptoms, they can better relay it to the medical staff than me, someone who is not around.

10.44am: She replied, "See how first my friends will be coming soon"


And i never heard from her again.

Almost 7 hours liao, so i guess it's fine. Bo liao right? "Eat full nothing to do".

I am always the guy waiting for A&E for hours. She is always the one who stayed away.

Yes i am the one who will foot the medical bill. But what's the point of being the one waiting? I am not longer the main caregiver. I am not throwing away the responsibility, but it's the truth. I do not stay with my mother, i do not look after her 24/7, i only see her once a week.

When the medical professional asks me what is unusual of her that warrants us to send her in, very often i will struggle to answer. Becoz i cannot tell, i didn't see, i relied on what my sister or the maid says.

So is it more suitable for one of them to follow her to hospital if it's required? Everytime just dump the responsibility to me. This time, i "bo chap" abit and see what she will do. The longer she takes, will mean my mother is most likely to be okay.

I am not trying to be funny or unfilial. But if everyone everytime got small things want to send hospital, then hospital will be full.

If i didn't guess wrongly, my mother who has history of serious constipation is just forcing "you know what" out, using much more effort than normal pp. Hahahaha.
