Heya guys! I'm back! Today, my mom got her surgery, and she's starting to feel really better. How about I explain it to you guys?
I got up around 6 PM, and An Suc took our van and drove Mom to the hospital. We waited there, and my mom was taken into surgery about 9 PM...
An Suc's girlfriend came, and I basically chatted with her about school and stuff like that. She left later, though, to pick up An Suc's mom.
At noon, the surgery was done, and the doctor came and talked to me. However, when he saw me and discovered that I was his patient's son...he gave his weird look to me... Weiiird. Then he shook my hand verrry softly. Suspicious.
An Suc and I went to go eat at the cafeteria, where his girlfriend and mom came. They left earlier than me, and I stayed, where some nurses were putting my mom into her room.
I basically stayed there, watched TV while she was unconcious.
Oh, wanna know something retarded that happened while I was in there? The nurse said that after the surgery, she couldn't eat or drink anything except "ice chips." The nurse's Hispanic accent got in her way, and I pulled up a "one eyebrow up" dumbfounded face, replying, "Hot chips...?" Then she repeated herself, annunciating, "ICE chips."
Man, I feel retarded. *laughs*
An Suc and the group came back later, and Suc Fah stayed with my mom while I went home. I left around 3 PM, went home, ate, talked a bit to Suc Kung in Cantonese and Mandarin (yay, practice!), and quickly rushed out of the house, realizing that I spent too much time talking with Suc Kung and not eating!
I stayed with my mom, basically, and helped my mom out until...7:30 PM. Then An Suc picked me up. (Bwah, I told him to wait in the lobby, and when I was downstairs, he was up there!!!)
We went to a restaurant later, called Saigon Pagolac. In my dumbfoundedness again, I thought An Suc said, "Saigon Parking Lot"... Oh gosh, what's wrong with me today?! We met up with his sister, Chi Thanh and her husband, Anh Huang (or Huan?), who I thought, at first, was An Suc's friend. Turns out, they're brothers-in-laws!
MANNNN... Why do I feel so retarded today?!
We ate spring rolls, and I sat in a chair where all the oil kept flicking in my face.
Let me explain: Have you ever gone to those Asian places where you grill your own meat or seafood on your table? Well, they had that, but they put SO MUCH OIL. I wasn't even sitting that close to it and it flung oil on me over and over. (Ow ow ow ow ow!)
An Suc's girlfriend came sooner, and she joined in the eating.
We left soon, and An Suc drove me home. Then he walked to his house. Ehhhh...
I gathered my brother and sister and did our routinely prayer at night, and Suc Kung and Suc Fah came over.
That's all. Today, I went to to the hospital alone, and with An Suc's family. My siblings didn't come. Also, the doctor questioned why Mom's husband (my dad!) wasn't there... It doesn't seem supportive that Dad's not there when Mom's in surgery, huh? But, dad's far away at work now, and he couldn't make it. He did, however, call over and over. But then, all he asked was, "Did you eat yet?" (Who cares if I ate or not!) and "Is she conscious?" (That's a bit better...)
Yesterday, nothing special happened. I went to the orthodontist (first time in three months!), and my family made egg rolls. That's it.
I'm also in search for my father's missing leather luggage bag, and a blue prayer book... Oh where could they be...
That also reminds me! I lost my retainer at home before I went to the hospital! Turns out, I left it in the pantry while getting some cereal.
Bwahaha. I really DO feel dumb today.
Good night all!
