Birthday in Hospital

The day my mom went for her CTScan, she told she wanted to be with me on my birthday. Unfortunately, it was with her in hospital. The funny part was, I was born in the same hospital 28 years ago :D Mom wasn't too bad but you could tell she wasn't feeling comfortable.

Mom Readmitted and Told

As her condition grew worse, we took her back to UMMC with the reports and the doctors placed her under palliative care. Mom knew something was not right as usually, palliative is associated with "no hope for survival". That evening, my dad and aunt told her the news that her cancer had returned and spread to the lungs. Mom's response was, she already suspected...

Judgement Day

Mom finally went for her CTScan in Assunta Hospital. We finally knew what it was but never told her knowing it would break her heart. We just told her the envelope was sealed and it can only be read by UMMC. Both my dad and I prepared for the worst and planned should the unexpected happen.

Happy New Year!

Although mom's condition grew worse day by day, we tried to keep her in positive thoughts and not give up although my dad and I knew something was not right. New Year was at home and a quiet one

Christmas in Hospital

Mom's wish of having Christmas at home never came true. My dad and I visited her in hospital and tried to keep her in high spirits but her coughing was persistent. As we left, her breathing was heavy and in and out.

Mom's Downfall

After being diagnosed with pleural effusion (water in the lungs) and diabetes, she was admitted to the medical ward of UMMC. Her condition was terrible and she had to go through drainage of the water which was building up rapidly. The doctors decided a CTScan was needed but the machines were down and they arranged for a later date.

Premier Here we come!

Ok my staff tag was stuck in the car and had to bug my manager to tag me in. Started the day with the usual queues (Replies, Gen Enq) and came briefing etc. etc. Before lunch, I was told that I'll be starting to work on Premier (finally)! Oh man, it was scarey. Sending to the Supervisory queue is a bit scarey not knowing what the outcome will be like. Anyway, it's my first day so just ok.

Tomorrow will be another day with new things.
