katriona_sIt was a long weekend.
Last Thursday my mother went to hospital for the surgery. It's not for a sudden illness but a scheduled operation. Her doctor has kept observation on her aneurysm for years, in January she(the doctor) said it's the time to perform a surgery. Since then mother has had some examinations, one minor operation with local anesthesia. Then on this Friday she got the main surgery with general anesthesia. It's not a very difficult opperation, they said, but mother is 87 so I have been rather nervous. Thankfully the surgery was done safely and she has recovered from the anesthesia. Phew! She still has to have some examinations, might get out of hospital on Wednesday.
So, on last Friday I took a day off from the office to stand by in the hospital - I had to wait for 5 hours there, very tiring hours. On Saturday and Sunday I did the weekly house cleaning and other household tasks by myself, went to the hospital to see my mother, went to the ordinary shopping, went to some clinic (for my health), ate out with my sister and her husband who happened to come to Yokohama, etc... I didn't have much time to sit down and relax.
Now on Monday I still feel tired (of course thankful for the success of the surgery at the same time). The hospital buildings has been reconstructed some years ago and all the facilities are new and clean, still the hospital is the place which depresses me a lot :(
I really feel... how important to be healthy!!
