paranoia

my dad was rushed to the hospital last night. he initially felt dizzy at one point in the night, and so he and my mom went to the nearby clinic to have him checked up. the doctor said that he had very frequent cardiac skipbeats. it's always scary when it has something to do with one's heart, cuz it can end your life in just one snap. anyway, my sister, who's a doctor, suggested that he be brought to the hospital because we don't really know if he's having a stroke or a heart attack already. and so they did. i went to visit my dad after class because no one was there to watch over him. when i got to the ICU (he's supposed to be in the telemetry but they don't have any space), and when i saw him lying on the bed with oxygen tubes and dextrose, and whatever equipment attached to his body, i almost shed a tear. it was just so...sad, i guess. it's not something that i'm used to. although he has mild diabetes, he's not really the type to get sick, more so be confined in a hospital. so now i'm so paranoid that something bad might happen to him (knock on wood), but i know that God is with us, and He'll help him get through this. he's scheduled to have a heart ultrasound tonight, so that they may find out the source of the cardiac skipbeats. hopefully, it won't be too serious.

oh, i felt so guilty because last night, he asked me if i know how to take the BP (blood pressure), and then i go "hmmm oo pero hindi accurate! sabi ko sayo bumili ka na ng electronic BP eh!" the next thing i knew, they were out of the house and on their way to the hospital. :(

anyway, thanks to everyone's comfort and prayers. :)
