My dad was diagnosed with Buttock Abscess by his GP. Mom called us up and told us that dad needed surgery immediately as recommended by the GP. Gosh! This is going to be a nightmare for my dad who is so afraid of going to the hospital, which old folk doesn't?
We were suppose to go out for lunch appointment with our friends. Since we have to go for the emergency surgery to resolve the buttock abscess, we are left with no choice but to postpone our lunch appointment. Dad was actually referred to TTSH but I suggested to go to Alexandra Hospital as TTSH have a horrendous waiting time for the A&E department. Moreover, AH (Alexandra Hospital) is renown for having senior doctors who do consultation instead of MOs. This would be more productive as senior doctors can quickly diagnose patient's condition and direct patient to the right department for treatment.
Anyway, it was a quick session at the A&E for my dad. Jack and Olive Tree sent dad to AH. We did not go to AH with them and stayed at my mom's with Jurnus till they return from hospital. Dad was admitted immediately. Had his surgery done at 8.30pm, lasting 1.5hrs. Though mom looks cool about it, I think she is very concern about dad, whether dad can take the surgery. Everyone knows that dad is so afraid of such medical treatment, surgery. Prayed to the Lord for comforting of dad and healing. AMEN!
Dad will be coming over to our place for recuperation. Good for his rest. He still commented that on mid autumn festival, people are celebrating with families and he has to stay in hospital. Walau! He should have not bore with the pain in the buttock till now, otherwise he won't have to spend his mid autumn festival in hospital, right?? Was telling mom, dad really "buttock itchy".
