breathless - from several angles...
my dad was found having breathing problems today after lunch and my mum panicked. she didn't know how to call any of us. luckily she managed to call my aunt who in turn activated the ambulance. in the end, my dad was evacuated and hospitalised. apparently, he had refused to eat the food my mum prepared cos he said it tasted bland (no salt added upon medical advise). coupled with his refusal too to drink, he ended up getting dehydrated and a chain reaction occurred. it was lucky that he was evacuated fast enough.
my 2nd aunt called yesterday and suggested that i hire a maid to look after my dad. seriously, i am in a fix. on one hand, there is insufficient space in the house now. and on the other hand, financially, i am not able to afford it... more important to me, i felt that hiring a maid will not solve the problem of helping my dad as he is simply too heavy and difficult to look after. so, i might end up having a liability instead. the whole issue of thinking what's a workable solution to manage my dad is really a strangle. and it does not help that my siblings do not seem to want to talk and that every time we talk, we end up feeling very tense.
my work has been ending very late recently and all the additional tasks given to me has added a strain to me. and i am literally trying very hard to take a breather now... added to this, i am also feeling the stress about the impending career switch... argh!!!
i am feeling very stressed now and i do not know what to do...
