Son out, Father in (Part 2)

*** continued from previous post ***

I reached home, I had a quick shower, while dad packed his stuff. Suddenly he said no need to fetch him...he will just go to a clinic. Panicked, sweat ! I had to act 'firm'. I said "No, better go hospital, if midnite anything how?" I know dad dun wanna 'mah huan' us. But I insisted he go...so off we went within 10 mins time.

Meow was driving, dad seated at the back...kept reminding me to off gas, lock doors...hmm....still can worry about me. I was trying very hard not to shed tears.

By 1am, dad was admitted for further check-up as the doc was not in. I made sure everything was fine before I left. SMSed SIL, she called back. She had to go KL next day for work. Dad reminded me, "tell yr Koko, not to come visit me, I will be even more upset, I will chase him away"
I just kept quiet. We left after that.

Called Sako to tell her, she was worried too. She said tomorrow morning will go with me to see dad.

19th July - I was so tired, I hardly slept, I cried myself to sleep. Was awaken by calls...Mako, Sako, then Koko...he was like possessed. I kept my cool. He wouldn't listened. Later he harrassed me with SMS. I replied what I had to...praying that he will realise his doings...then I was busy getting ready and feeding the dogs, he called me again "eh, quiet already?" I told him I was not so free to argue...what he said, I counter off with explanations and reasons....hopefully he will realise that he too was doing the same to Wilfred. He shouldn't blame dad for not taking care of him since young. Dad was away working and left Koko with grandparents. Koko was upset and thought Dad doesn't love him, now only wanna take care of him. I told him dad loves him the most...his only son...his sacrifices means a lot. Koko said he cannot stand, Dad very bossy...I told him, to give and take, this is not permanent, just for few weeks...try to reason nicely....then Koko was like shouting again....damn...both father and son, really same. Boh lat.

Dad looked tired, he couldn't sleep with even 2 sleeping pills. Next to his bed, a 19 yr old kid, hit & run victim, had a broken left leg, told me my dad was very upset last nite. They talked thru till morning.

Dad had the stress test and on Wed, Endogram test. Doc found 3 arteries blocked and advised to go for ballooning.
Thurs, the Ballooning was done, 5 stands altogether. Dad looked fine. He just needed lotsa rest.
I was on emergency leave, taking care of Dad, the dogs, fishes...lucky thing Meow was there.
On Sat, I was so touched when Meow helped to change the water in the tanks...About 4 aquariums...really tiring. I was busy helping with the hose and cooking dog's food. Also, my team members and boss send regards and flowers. Oh...Y.Nee and Gigi too...thank you for calling when you saw my OOO message.
And to sis...sorry...I had no choice but to hide from u first...I was really upset and busy, didn't wanna upset u further. It wasn't really serious....I promise, if serious, then will let u know ok.

Oh...ya, Koko called to ask if it was ok if he visit Dad on Wed nite, the night before surgery. I had to be the middle person...dad said no need, so late, but he said up to him...I guess that was green light. Koko brought herbal soup....I let them talk when I was sure they won't start another war. Thank God, everything is fine. What a relief.

Dad was discharged on Mon 25th July. Koko fetched him...peace :) Met Jee Kor (Aunt Esther from Australia), showed her my beads...she wants to me teach her how to make...ok, hopefully sometime this week.

As for me...I was back to work, most crucial week of the Quarter, my performance review highly depends on how I did during this period.
Had to miss lunch sometimes, India team member in Penang...gotta squeeze some time to teach him, dinner at Eden Seafood on Wed nite...2 crabs already cost RM 100 ! The bill came to RM 300++. Saw Ah Khim Ee (mom's cousin). She was so happy to see me, she just came back from Australia (vacation). She was surprised to hear about dad and send her regards.

Ok, I am so glad everything bad is over. Quarter end is over. In fact, I had great time last Sat. Watched 'The Island" and then supper at Green house. We proceeded to a nice place, I forgot the name but it's next to Naza Hotel at Batu Ferringhi...by the sea...We ordered a bucket of Carlsberg, about one each...there were six of us (Bruce joined in later). I played with a puppy...stray one I guess...so cute but she has real sharp teeth, ouch !
There u go, not very long after all as I decided to leave out some details.
