Attending to my dad?

My dad... My dad went for an operation on Mon... Some of you may already know this... He could not lift his left hand due to an injury in his left shoulder... So he went for an op on mon... I'm not sure what the doctors did... But heard it's those kind where u insert camera in to do the op one... The op went smoothly... He was supposed to be discharged on Wed, but on tues, the doc says he can go hm to rest liao... Yep yep...

So on mon nite when I went... It was after visitation hours liao... Reached abt 9pm... Met my mom at the bus stop... She went hm 1st cos she workin in the early morn the next day. So I went into his ward and he was sleeping liao... Not wanting to wake him up, I just sat on the chair beside him. I laid my hands on his bad and prayed silently... For peace, for a good nite's rest, for quick recovery and for no pain... Then he stirred and woke... Talked to me for a while. He said he was alright, I didnt had to come down... Then he showed me that the bed was stained cos of his blood... He lost quite a bit of blood... Kept reassuring me that he was alright, just a little giddy... I just told him to go back to sleep and I'll be going back soon...

On Tues, I went to visit him after I completed my work for the day and so took time off to go... When I reached at 2+, I was quite surprised to see him sitting there, dressed in civilian. He told me he was ready to go home, the doctor had given him 44 days of hospitalisation leave... He was waiting for the medicine to come... Waited since 1pm... Ken rushed down to see him b4 we left... Bought him chicken of essence... I went back with my dad in a cab... Ken went off elsewhere to settle his stuff... My sis was home liao... Shortly after my mom came back... So she took care of him...

Today, I took leave also... Stayed home to attend to my dad... Just in case he needs anything. His sister, my gu gu came to visit him... So they chatting now... The op lasted 4 hours... And so on... Hahaha... I go listen liao....
