Tiring Weekend

For the past week, and even till now I've been bugged by the rashes on my legs. So irritating! I simply couldn't help but keep scratching, especially in the middle of the nite. I was finally being persuaded to see the doc this evening coz my legs look really disgusting, red patches of rashes. Same as before, the doctor could not determine the exact cause of my rashes, coz it could be the food I eat, the shower gel I use, the clothes I wear & perhaps my work environment which cause the allergy. No idea what happened. But anyway, as long as the cream she gave me to apply helps to stop the itch & heal the rashes, I'm happy! Haha...

Past 2 days have been great & enjoyable except for the sleep which I've missed. Fri nite was basically a sleepless nite accompanying my poor bro in hospital. Luckily he was fine after a jab & need no hospitalisation. It was also an interesting nite spent in the hospital. Got to see a couple of "interesting" people there. There's this old man who has been left in the hospital by his daughter. Well, the old man was only kept under observation for a few hours but his daughter just left him there. When he was told that he could leave the hospital, he could not find his IC & wallet and he started bugging the nurses & accused them of taking his stuff. But it was believed that his daughter might have taken his stuff home after dropping him off at the hospital. In the end, he created a din in the observation room. It seemed like the nurses could not reach his daughter by phone as I see him leaving with a police officer after that. Just felt abit curious why did his daughter just leave him in the hospital like that when he's only under a few hours of observation? He's not even admitted into the hospital! Is it so difficult to accompany her dad for that few hours? Isn't she concern about what happened to her dad? Hmm...

I also saw another old man in the observation who looked so frail & fragile that he kept trembling in his bed. But there was no one to take care of this poor, sick old man except for the ever busy nurses who had to manage the 30 over patients in the observation room. At that point in time, I really wonder where his family is and why aren't around to take care of this old man. Is is sufficient to simply leave the sick parents in the hospital like this & expect the doctors & nurses to take care of them? Is this good enough to be called filial piety? If they think it is, it's really sad.

There I told my bro, he should be thankful there I was there with him throughout the nite. Wet his lips when his lips are dry, assist him to the toilet when he needs to, making sure he's comfortably sleeping in the bed when I only got a plastic chair to sit. Haha... And on our way to catch a cab home, somehow we began to hold hands. It's like back to the days when he was still a little boy and I held his small little hands. Well, back then his palms were only half of mine but now it's twice! haha... I guess as one grows up & spends more time outside with friends, you will tend to neglect your family. But when something happens, your family will be the 1st to attend to your needs and perhaps then you'll realised their importance again. So sad... hope I'm not a disposable sis to him leh. That's why I kept telling my family & some people, must treasure me before I die leh. Haha... Of course I treasure my family & friends as well! =)
