It's been exactly one week since my Grandma's been hospitalised in Tan Tock Seng Hospital again for the 2nd time this year.
She was going to the toilet in the middle of the night and suddenly she lost control of her faculties and collapsed. Even though the maid was right behind her she could not stop her fall, only managed to cushion part of her fall. I supposed it was really very fortunate that it wasn't more serious than it is right now. She fractured her arm and her hip area and she might need surgery. The doctors are still trying to determine whether it is safe for her to have the surgery considering her age. The estimated recuperation period this time will be around 2-3 months.
The last time she fell it was so bad that she suffered from temporary amnesia and up till now she has not regained her full mental faculties. She still has a bit of difficulty expressing herself though she can recognise us all now.
Was so worried when I received the news that she fell again last week. In my heart I was really worried that this time would be worse than the last. Thank God it was not as serious.
My brothers were just as worried when they heard but that was in part cos of my Mother's way of informing them. To simply msg that your Grandma is warded in hospital without giving more info on her condition is really ominous.
Now almost every evening will visit TTSH before I head home. Can't believe I'm a regular there again.
Hope my Grandma will get better soon, can tell she really misses home...
