Suddenly Warded

Note: A late post... Not related to SK's current hospitalization :S

SK had been coughing and coughing and coughing and wheezing for a week plus without respite. Since the GP couldn't do anything for her, the next logical step would be to visit the specialist. The diagnosis-- bronchitis. According to the doctor, with her breathlessness and if she was any older, she would most probably had collapsed way earlier. They hooked her up on oxygen and steroids. And yeah, she was immediately warded. After I came back from the office, I took a cab to Taman Desa Medical Center. Waltzed in with a packet of vegetarian tomyum noodles as she was not thrilled with the hospital food. The staff were extra nice. Fake smiles all over the place. Felt a bit weird. Must be some new management directive. And I guess they can afford to be nice when there was only eighteen patients at that time. Hardly over-worked. Took her car and went back to her apartment to pack up some clothes for her short stay. I picked up mum and we went to dinner at Restoran Hong Cha. In addition to the pork noodles, we had soft-shelled crab maki as it was on promotion. Was quite good coming from a pork noodle place! Ta-pau-ed one and went to visit SK. Her blood oxygen levels were up and there were good chances that she would be discharged the next day. Yay!
