fear
yesterday my father had his eye operation. i never did expect it to take so long...oh well maybe because i'm not really aware how hard it is to fix a retinal detachment. so anyway, we got to the hospital an hour before his procedure. we waited and being a sucker for sleep, i dozed off (a lot!). hehe... i don't care if i had my mouth wide open or if my head is banging the walls.. i need to sleep. wala akong pakielam sa inyo. Hehe.
so we waited.. they said it'll probably take 3 hours which include the recovery before he'll be transfered to his room. i do hate hospitals.. it's smell and diseases and illnesses.. i hated it after Nanay died. Anyway, on the 3rd hour-- i was expecting the doctor to come out of the operating room... 2 minutes passed.. which became 5, 10, 15, 60 minutes. Bakit ang tagal? I got agitated and wondered if something went wrong. Fuck hospitals...
When the doctor finally came out, we were instructed to get some medicines. UST hospital being a fucking maze, we found ourselves lost a couple of times. It was only after we got the medicine that i get to see tatay in the recovery room.. he has this machine attached to him which monitored his blood pressure, oxygen and heartbeat... and i remembered Nanay.. i remembered how i hated this machine.. i looked at it intently waiting for that "beep" (which signifies that the blood pressure or heart rate is too low). it was all traumatic to me.
I felt so relieved to see tatay up and about. thank you, Lord. I just hope that darn retina would attach so that tatay does not have to go through this again. also, thank you to those who kept me sane while waiting... a thousand hugs to you.
