Dad a bit tired

This morning, went to church and after that, we had lunch just outside the hospital at a catfish restaurant. It was a fried seafood place. Dad looking good day by day. He told us he wanted to sit up and for us to massage him. He is having bed sores. So, we tried to massage him when we can. But the nurses here do turn him once every few hours. He also asked us to call his handphone but we told him it is lost inthe crash already. He asked a lot of sensible questions, so I know he is clear in his head. He asked me when did the accident happen? Whether he had stroke..Whether he should stay here for rehab or go back.. He said maybe here cheaper.. and when we told him the costs of medical fee here..he opened his eyes so big cos it is really expensive here. We all laughed cos my dad's face so cute.

Nurses told us today that we can think about what soup to bring as he will soon be able to take liquid diets like soup, jelly..etc. So, we were pretty excited that my dad can finally taste home made cooked soup already. He says he misses it. So, we will prob cook ginseng chicken soup to make him feel better. We also told the nurse that we like him to do his plastic surgery here since he is covered by travel insurance. So, we asked dad if he like to look like who? brad pitt? hehe..he smiled. Dad says he just want to look 20 years younger.

We left an hour plus later and went home to watch swordsman VCD together. It is the last episode of a series I was watching way before my parents came. It was pretty exciting, so the whole family sat down to watch. After watching, I was very tired that I went to rest. Usually, I do not take naps but after a week long of visitations and cooking for family, I was drained..So, I slept and slept till 6pm. CT and my bro went to play tennis.

I felt feverish when I woke up but no fever. I guess it was just fatigue. Mum was preparing dinner as she learnt I was very tired. However, after a bath, I felt much better and decided to help out a little. We had bean sprouts with salted fish, beef with zucchini, pork rib herbal soup. Very yummy. I missed eating and smelling salted fish. Mum brought over for me. We were watching "Spiderman" movie while eating.

After that, we visited dad again and he was looking very tired as the whole morning,he was breathing on his own and in afternoon, he was moved to a chair to get out of bed. So, that probably took a lot of energy from him. So, his eyes keep closing a little. He asked me very few questions like- rented car how? did it happen after golf? after lunch? happen on the buggee? He wanted to find out more about the accident as he cannot remember...just like my mum. So, I filled in the details but stopped a bit. I did not tell him the full details as I felt he was looking too tired. I just told him what happened before accident and then how the train hit us. But I did not tell him how he was bleeding profusely and how I went back into car to try to help and what I saw and did.

He also said he wanted to go out for a walk. We told him once he is better, we will bring him out...but not now cos he is still with a lot of tubes. All in all, dad is getting better. It is nice to see how much he has progressed. The nurses also say he is doing so much better and has improved a lot from the first time we saw him.

Right now, a lot of decisions to be made like hiring an attorney to look into this case and to inform the govt to take precautions and do more improvement to the tracks where we were hit as they is no lights or barrier. Decisions like to fly back with international SOS or with air ambulance by hospital. So, there are a lot of things to do and decide.
