God, what a weekend

It was friday morning around 4 something am, when my dear received a phone call from my dad. My dad told him that he needed to go the hospital, cause he had just sliped in his bedroom. So dear and I were rushing down stairs to my parents bedroom, and found my dad was laying on his bed with hands covering his nose, there were some trace of blood from bathroom to where his bed was. My dad was telling us that he had fell down and hit the table near the bed, and eventually teared some part between his nose and his lips. I was so shocked, i couldn't think. I was scared, cause i never saw my dad in such a pain like that. We tried to get him up to go to the hospital, but he was saying his back hurts, and he was too weak to get up from the bed. We waited a couple of minutes when he finally get up, get dressed and walk out from the bedroom. By the time we arrived at the emergency room at MMC Hospital, we found out that my dad had been there a couple hours before with my younger brother, and the doctor had given him some medicine for his headache and some sleeping pils to help him sleep. That was the reason why he fell down and couldn't remember ever fell down. Though, the doctor said this won't happen if he stayed at the hospital that night.

After a couple of minutes waiting on the doctor to prepared to examined my dad, she came up to me and asked whether i want my dad wound to be treated by plastic surgery doctor or herself, i said it better if the plastic surgery doctor can attend to my dad wound. Then the nurse called the plastic surgent and asked if she could come in, or she wants to be pick up considering it was still early in the morning.

While waiting for the plastic surgent to be picked up, my dad was undergo some x-ray for his back problem, and a ct-scan for her head, in case something happen when he fell down.

The procedure took quiet a while, so i take care the administration and book a room for my dad. By the time my dad had finished all his x-ray and ct-scan, he was taken back to the emergency room, where the doctor will perform the surgery.

Before the procedure take place, i told the nurse and the doctor that my dad had been sweating all morning, and she said it might be from high sugar level that my dad had.

We waited for nearly an hour at the emergency room, while i called my mom, and message my older brother about what happen. The surgery went well, and the result was good, though the plastic surgeont said she won't keep my dad, and he can go home, as for his back complain and others, we have to wait for other specialist to come and see what happen to my dad. Therefore, they took my dad to normal room, so he can rest while waiting for the internist doctor.

Me and my dear felt a relief because everything went well. Though, waiting for the other doctor to attend to my dad was such a bump. Gosh, i was so tired and so were my dear. He went to get some breakfast, while i've waited for the doctor to come.

To make the matter worst, the blood test showed that my dad trombosit was below normal, thus he have to stay until it went up to normal.
