OWM – Overnight at the Hospital

Friday was quiet day at the office but i look forward to it because it’s the day i planned to have a pedi.  I left the office earlier than usual at lunch time so that i can be able to catch up with Belen (my suki pedicurista).  And of course i did!  I arrived back at the office before 1:30 and i was shaking hungry. lol!

I took a shot of this blue building while waiting for my pedi service:

Anyways, i decided to sleep early that evening but then i was awaken by a knock at past 11 because my sister called.  I should get down as quickly as i can to the Emergency Room.  I thought oh my what’s up with our Baby Gab but when i reached there, it was not Baby but it was my father with an oxygen on.  It was not my sister who was there but my brother and sis-in-law.  They said my father got a mild heart attack.

Oh well, so i stayed the whole night there (lack sleep) until noontime the next day.  He was on bed arrest.  He was comfy using the urinal in his bed but he got no choice.   The night was uneventful but i was a groggy watcher when Saturday morning came.  I missed church and even missed my breakfast and lunch because that morning he was not yet allowed to eat.  I gave him some water after his blood was taken for lab test.

The doctor came around past 12 and she told me that my father have no heart problem.  Instead she saw a different problem.  So i was relieved of the thought that i don’t have to watch him every minute of the next 24 hours.  So, i decided to make the trip to CDO to bond with some friends.  I even met someone whom i haven’t seen since i graduated from college in 1994.  She almost fail to recognize me because i have doubled or almost tripled my college size – but looking at me closely she giggled and said…ohhh my sister! =)  Thanks for the chocolate spread, Jo!  I wish i have taken a photo of us.  I just really forgot about it.  Maybe next time, I will text you and let’s hang around.

I had a great evening and this is what we had for dinner:
