My Dear Grandma

Dec 01, 2008 02:47

I'm awake at this unearthly time to blog because my dear grandma woke me up to call an ambulance for her.

She's been feeling uncomfortable since the night before but refused to see any doctor. She couldn't get to sleep no matter how hard she tried so she decided to wake me up. I barely slept for an hour since she had been signing and whining really loud before saying she wants to go to the hospital.

So my dad and I made the phone calls, and honestly, why do the phone operators have to ask so many questions before sending an ambulance! All I need is freaking ambulance to my grandma to the hospital yet I'm being questioned about when she had started feeling uncomfortable, what's wrong with her, Is she breathing properly etc.

But then, the ambulance came really quick. A Chinese guy along with two Malay guys came with some equipments and started to ask my grandma questions, but shoot, she only speaks dialect and the closest language they know is Chinese. The Chinese guy kept telling me to tell my grandma not to speak, not to move but she kept looking around, trying to get me to get things (phonebook, handbag) for her.

I wasn't worried about her in the first place and I seriously just wanted to get back to bed and sleep. But then when I saw the paramedics sticking stuff to her body to measure her heartbeat or something, I started to freak out and worried loads. It pissed me, when the two Malay guys were giggling at their own private joke (probably because my grandma doesn't wear a bra and they were sticking the stuffs at her chest area.). But then, COME ON, you have a freaking WORRIED family member(s) here and GIGGLING isn't exactly the best way to reassure them that the patient is in good hands!

Urgh. I got even more irritated when they didn't let me tag along because they can only take one family member along with them on the ambulance.

I hope my Grandma will be alright, now is seriously not the right time for anything bad to happen to her. Don't let my sister come back home before she even starts to have fun, pls.

hospital, grandma, ambulance
