this morning, i got a call from the rehab center manager. it is not normal for her to call me and when i picked up the call, she told me mum's blood pressure was low and her pulse rate was very high. i told her to let her rest and to make another assessment later... and about an hour later, she called again. hey, your mum is not better. we have let her rest but her pulse rate continued to he high and she seemed a little unwell...
admittedly, i didn't really believe she was unwell but something in me told me i better respond to this development. i applied e-leave for the afternoon and immediately went to fetch her from the rehab centre. she seemed ok when i saw her. the usual half asleep state. and when i spoke with her, nothing seemed amiss. nonetheless, i thought it would be good to send her to the hospital to allow the doctors to make an assessment. and once again, the a&e doctor came to me and told me she needed to be warded. well, i was not surprised by this input. it had always been this way for her.
mum complained she was hungry and i went ahead to get some snacks for her. and when i returned, there was another doctor there. she asked me to wait for her outside as she had to examine mum. this lady doctor was rather interesting cos unlike the a&e doctors, she was rather friendly and patient with me. and instead of asking the nurse to call for me, she actually came out to look for me...
