Today started off pretty normally enough... but little did I expect that I'd be going to the same hospital twice. The first was for my appointment with the psychiatrist, and in the early evening, mom called to tell me the bad news that my uncle (her brother) had been involved in an accident at his workplace. He was knocked down by a forklift (don't know how) and is in a critical condition now after undergoing surgery to his aorta.
Other than the aorta, he also suffered from numerous fractures and God knows what else... the doc mentioned something about bleeding in the lung vessels. Hopefully there won't be any complications from the surgery and the other problems aren't critical. They have given him heavy sedation and morphine drips, so hopefully he isn't in too much pain. Mom and Aunty Esther are spending the night there to make sure that he is doing ok and I will go there first thing tomorrow morning.
Is this year ending yet??? So far it has proven to be nothing but the pits...
