I know I could've been a lot nicer but it's past 1AM and I'm tired and I had very little patience.

A Post Script on my Mom's Operation

In fairness to the good doctors of Ospital ng Muntinlupa
who operated on my mom, upon further research it turns out that it
wasn't at all medieval (like I referred to in a previous post). The
doctors performed what is called a Laparoscopic Exploratory Surgery. According to the Surgical Specialists of Hazelton
web site, Exploratory laparoscopy has often been used for diagnostic
purposes to view the abdomen after abdominal trauma and in cases of
abdominal illness.Laparoscopy is a term given to a group of operations
that are performed with the aid of a camera placed in the abdomen.
Originally, the laparoscope was used during surgical removal of the
gallbladder (laparoscopic cholecystectomy) and appendix (laparoscopic
appendectomy). You could read more about it here.
Given the condition my mom was in when she got to the hospital, I guess
It would've taken too long to run tests and bloodwork and MRIs and CT
scans when all the symptoms pointed to a ruptured appendix. I guess my
dad knew better, being a veterinarian and knowledgable in these matters
and he was there to discuss it with the doctors. Please excuse me if
you're eating while reading this but what happened was that my mom's
appendix did already rupture when she was brought to the hospital and
the pus was all over her insides, so the doctors had to make a bigger
incision than what the surgery called for since they had to take out
her intestines and clean them up to prevent further infection before
putting them all back in. Ugh.Anyway, my mom's ok now. I'll have
another post script to this post script later. About my sister's harrowing experience with the Ospital ng Muntinlupa. I just need to run off somewhere for now. Later!

In Sickness and On Labor

My sister
told me through SMS the other day that my mom was to undergo an
operation. She wasn't in top shape when I went home during the weekend.
She couldn't get up and she was vomitting. So I asked my sister what my
mom was going to have an operation for. All she could tell me was that
she didn't know and that the doctors were going to do an "exploratory"
surgery to find out what's wrong with her. How medieval was that?! I
guess deep into the heart of the second season of Grey's Anatomy,
I'd think that they would've probably done a CT scan or an MRI first
before opening my mom up right?! Anyway, my sister texts me back in the
evening that my mom's operation was done and they were taking her into
recovery as she was texting me. Apparently, my mom burst her appendix
and that was that.



*****
I would've went
to visit her at the hospital this morning if it wasn't for this project
I am currently working on. I honestly think that it's too tight a
deadline. But then that's what you get when you drop the price down to
where the client would like for them to award you the said project and
then they'd have you do everything and demand stuff from you like
they're shelling über big
bucks for the whole thing. But them I'm not really in a position to
complain. I got myself into this rut voluntarily. Being careful not to
mention any names of people and companies involved. We wouldn't want to
get into another "mess" with the corporate world. We'd never know who
might be reading this blog. But then again, I DON'T CARE. To all my
real friends, y'all know who you are. :)
