long awaited–dad’s progress update
once again, for those who have been constantly clicking on the link,
hoping that i’ve update,
sorry to disappoint u over n over again.
the past few weeks had been taxing.
Dad:
we have decided to go SGH for the op
on my birthday, we went SGH to meet Tumor Board Doctors, a family as a whole
decided on the date of admission and operation.
Admission date was on the 17th
Operation date was on 18th, 8.30am
early in the morning, we reached around 6.30am.
accompanied him thru out till he was pushed into the Operating Theatre
MeiShi was with me since 2pm waiting for dad to be out
but somehow we waited n waited but to no avail
Only till around 8.30pm then dad was pushed out of OT
MeiShi, thanks for being there with me, offering your shoulders to me when i was feeling helpless.
everyday after dad’s op, me n mum were there everyday
every single day
except for wednesday when i was down with high fever
Dad wad warded into ICA for about a week then HD ward for 5 days then general ward for 4 days
all in all, he was hospitalised since 17th nov – 2nd Dec
this also meant that we haven been working for abt 2 weeks
according to the doctors, all the cancer cells were removed.
Yeah!
during his stay we encountered different nurses, nice ones n evil ones.
at times he was innocently taking his med, other times he refuses and threw it into the bin
till he was discharged, he threw tantrums like a child
attempting to throw the med away, refusing to have the dressing on, didn’t want to have his meals
at his state, we cant help but be like a sponge, absorbing all his displease.
as of now when i’m typing the post, he’s sleeping.
indeed, he’s really like a baby.
does nothing except eats n sleeps except for toilet visits
he’s going to start his radiotherapies n chemotherapies probably only in January
gonna be another series of suffering for my dad.

maybe he is just feeling sad and helpless.. Your support and love are the greatest motivation for him.. Everything will be fine….
