~<@ operation day @>~

this week has been a very hectic week for me! and also a very scary one too! zhongwei was schedule for an operation for his torn ligament on monday!woke up early in the morning to accompany him to the hospital... is it just the nature of boys or am i just plainly paranoid? i seemed more anxious about the operation than him! he was totally non-chalant about the whole issue. he could still play games on my fone.

after wat seemed to be an eternity of waiting, he was called in for a check-up prior to the operation. much to our dismay, after we were called, we still had to wait again. the grossly obessed auntie in front of us was trying to have the blood tested for god knows wat reason... she was screaming away... at this point, zhongwei started to freak out! he was so scared that he put down the fone and started chewing his nails....

roughly about 10am, he was pushed into the operation theatre... we could only wait outside for him... i went to return the rental car with my father and rushed back to the hospital in a cab. according to his doctor, the operation was supposed to only take about an hour. so i "flew" back to the hospital, thinking that he could be out anytime soon.

rushed back to the hospital by 11.10am,thinking that he would be out soon, i practically ran through the hospital to the operation theatre. reaching there, was half relieved only to see his auntie was outside. he was not out yet.

from 11am we waited to 12pm, checking out watches every 15mins for the display screen that shows the status of each operation. the agony of waiting for time to pass was growing steadily... i was starting to freak out as well. wondering and imagining all kinds of awful scenarios.... did he have any complications?was the bleeding unable to stop?did the doctors screw up the operation?
the waiting was really unbearable! i was almost to the verge of crying. yet there was nothing to do but to wait!

finally at 150, he was wheeled out of the operation theatre! we followed him to the ward! the poor guy was so pale. yet his first words that he told me, was "I'M HUNGRY!IS THERE ANYTHING TO EAT?" Gosh... here i was worried half to death,and he was joking with me!i really did not know whether to laugh or to cry with relieve!

to be continued....
