Yesterday, I received news from Dad via sms that he had a fall in one of the ships... Serious it may be, I found this whole incident funny. I was really calm by the way and Mommy scolded me for not being worried. Not worrying means I don't care meh?
The first telephone conversation with him was like..
Daddy: Earlier today I fell down, I still feel the pain... I am having a fever now. Can you ask your teacher tomorrow if I fractured my rib cage?
Maria: Go to the hospital now. You need to have an X-ray taken to know.
Daddy: But the hospital is 130km (if i didnt hear wrongly) away from where I am.
-___-
Second one was like...
Daddy: I am not in the hospital. I just finished my CT scan and no internal injuries were found.
Maria: How about your rib cage?
Daddy: Wait, I'm doing the X-ray now (but i think he did it before he called -___-)
Doctor in background: There's a fracture.
Daddy: There's a fracture.
Maria: Oh, ok. And you are still able to walk.. Which one? C, T or L
Daddy: L10....
It went something like this lah.. Haah. So yeah, I think he's in the airport in ShangHai now... Will be returning home tonight. But before going home, Daddy's boss arranged for an ambulance to pick him up.. How cool is that? I very much wanted to be there. To see see, or at least take some photos. He'll be sent to TTSH for another check up before heading home. Hope I can be there, to look and learn more though.
Malcolm, don't say you don't know about this matter. Haah.
Stay tuned!
UPDATE!!!!!!
Ok, according to Mommy, Daddy actually missed his late afternoon flight because he was having some free dinner after checking in? Haha. He reported late at the boarding gate so he had to give the flight a miss. So now he is on his midnight flight back. Mommy is going to TTSH first thing in the morning. Don't know about me, if I can wake up early but I'll make the effort :D
