the hospital

i was in NUH yesterday with my mom for her routine followup.

as usual, we were there on time. I saw a doc walking towards the rm which we were waiting o/s carrying her lunch. It is either that she is so bz that she had to eat her lunch only at 2pm or she got something on during her lunch time.

anyway, the crowd o/s looks very restles. There is this ah beng looking young fellow... wearing the buddha t-shirt trying to look cool. Apart from him, all others are elderly.

It seems that gg to the doc will become a routine once you start aging. Most of he elderly were there al by themselves.

my mom used to visit the doc all by herself too until she got a stroke last yr. Fr then on, i felt that she will be pleased to have me for company.

my heart goes out to the others who are there all by themselves. I am sure that it will be a comfort if their children/relatives can be there for them too. Theya re all alone, waiting o/s the doc and even q-ing p up at the pharmacy.

i really have no ides how i will feel if later down the road, i have to go for a routine checkup in the hospital all by myself.

rite now even when i go for a blood test, i yearn for company.
