This has been a hectic year end for me....

Haiz......

My great grandmother just passed away yesterday.... Before that she was hospitalised for a few days at TTSH.....

Cos that time she fell down, but when we took her to the doctor, she was ok..... But a few weeks later, late at night, she can't get down the bed....

So we called for a doctor.... The doctor prescribed some medicine but said that there was no major illness......

And the second time was when she was feeling very sicked and we called the doctor she saw frequently and the doctor REJECTED to come.... We are sooooooo pissed off..... Damn doctor... So arrogant.... So we asked another doctor to come and he said that we should admit her to the hospital immediately as her blood pressure is veri low..... But my great grandmother dun wan to go or we would have her admitted earlier... She is veri stubborn and we cant force her.....

Luckily, the doctor managed to persuade her and we faster called for ambulance..... Tat night, she was admitted to TTSH...

For her first and second day there, her talking made no sense at all.... She cannot recognise ppl and keep asking who we are..... The nurse said that it is because her potasium level is veri low which made her felt confused....

And also, she is talking the whole day...... The night she was admitted, one of my aunts stayed over there to keep her company.... And the second night is my mum and my turn.... We went there after work, but of course after bathing and having dinner.... Every night, there will be someone to accompany her.... Cos she dun wan to be alone and were scared.....

When we reached there, she was still talking nonsense and talking non-stop..... Saying she saw things, like dog, ppl, etc..... She kept wanting ppl to "tui" her back and massage her shoulder...... And also, when she wan to urine or pass motion, she wan it immediately.... Cos she is bedridden, so she is using the bedpan..... And we need to ask the nurse for it....

She want it immediately..... If not, she will start complaining y it took so long, blah blah......

So usually we will have a bedpan under the bed for standby... But that night, she wan it like every 15mins.... And there was once, there was no clean bedpan avaliable.... so we need to wait for the clean one... And they need to wash and sterlise before giving it to us.... So my great grandmother had to wait......

That was a long night for us..... She kept talking and her voice was quite loud, and everyone was sleeping.... Den the patient in front of us complained to the nurse that she was making alot of noise and disturbed her.... But what can we do?????

It went on until finally at 3am+, she slept and we were able to take a short nap... The chairs were not comfortable, but i managed to sleep for abt 2 hours and i wake up cos of butt pained... lolx......

Luckily, this time, my great grandmother slept until ard 7am... We were so scared that she will wake up suddenly.......

After that, we waited for my aunt to come to take over.....

She was hospitalised for abt a week and everyday she will demand to go home and said that the doctor tricked her there......

Actually she is supposed to come home on Christmas eve.. But the doctor said they need to do a checkup on her heart condition, so it was delayed for 2 days.....

When she came home to my grandfather house, she expect there to be someone to wait on her 24/7.... My grand aunt is staying next door so she will come by occasionally to help out...

Everyone was tired.... As my uncle shared a room with her, he practically dun get to sleep at night as she was talking or wan to urine..... Of cos, if she wan to urine, my grandma will help her.....

Den there is the medicine..... Everyday, she needs to eat ard 10pills.... And she keep saying she had a hard time sallowing the pills...... And she wan to medicine she took last time......

But the medicine from the hospital is for her cholestrol, high blood pressure, asthma, plagum, heart, blood, etc..... She needs to eat them....... In the end, she refused to eat the medicine..... But there's nth we can do.....

In the end, they were talking abt hiring a maid with experience in taking care of elderly to help out...... But it's too late...... Before the maid can come, she already passed away.....

Tat day, she was still looking fine... But she is complaining of chest pain and breathing difficulty....
After we went home, she asked to see doctor, but at time is was late and the clinic all closed.. So my uncle suggested to go hospital, but she rejected.... So my grand aunt told her to wait til tmr morning and she said that cannot wait til tmr...... And she kept asking abt today's date and time....

No one suspect anything until at night when my grandmother heard no noise and asked my grandfather to check on her, den he discovered she had passed away... It was ard 12am+ to 1am.... They informed everyone and after we heard the new, my mum and mi hurried off.....

Strangely, that night, although i'm asleep, i am still very awake when the phone rang.... When we reached my grandma hse, there were a few relatives there and my great grandmother's body was in the living room..... They were waiting for the doctor to come to issue a dealth certificate before they could do anything....

Actually, they asked the doctor she saw frequently, the doctor's clinic opened at 9am so my uncle informed the nurse to ask the doctor to come immediately after he arrived... We waited until 9am+ and he was still no there..... Everyone was soooo angry with him.... Cos actually, we could have call the doctor from the nearby 24hr clinic to come.... but cos she is more familiar with the other doctor, so we asked him instead......

He is damn damn arrogant..... Condemned him..... Hope his business will fall.... (hmm.. maybe.... cos my relatives quite big..... words spread...)

In the end, we asked the furneral company to arrande everything....... After everything was ready it is about 4pm.... My mum and i wen back to take a bath and a short nap..... Went back ard 6pm+ to help out......

Luckily, my manager asked me to stay at home today... Actually i planned to go back work today, cos half day onli... My mum need to go work.. Cos her colleague taking leave and there is no one to take over her work......

Today will be staying at the funeral to countdown to new year...... Sat will be the last day..... My great grandmother lived a long age of 95 years old.....
