Exhausted...

I've been super stressed and exhausted.
Father was rushed to Makati Medical Center in the city after he experienced an eye stroke while he was being prepared by his doctor for his eye surgery last Saturday in a hospital here in Bulacan. My family and I suspect that there's been negligence on the part of the doctor who was attending to him, so I'll not name the doctor for now until we're sure of our suspicions. That doctor has been my mother’s eye doctor for years now and has even performed an eye surgery on my mother in the past so we didn’t think anything would go wrong, but…
I was up at 4:30am Saturday because father’s supposed eye surgery here in Bulacan was scheduled at 6:30 am and we were told to be in the hospital at 5:30am. We rushed my father to Makati Med. around 10am. l was up until 1 or 2:00am Sunday morning taking care of my father. Hardly slept at all. Up to now, my father is still in Makati Med. undergoing further observation. My mother and our personal assistant are the ones watching over him. It's exhausting traveling/driving back and forth from Bulacan to Makati Med. every morning but I have no complaints. I want my father to get well. If I could buy him his health back, I would. He didn't also suffer an eye stroke but a mild stroke as well. He is recovering and is much better now. The right side of his body is weaker. Seeing my father not well saddens me. Hurts me. I'm glad Ryan is with me for some much needed emotional and physical support. I think I've lost 10 pounds in the last 3 days. I probably weigh around +/-120lbs. which I know isn't good for a 5'7" tall guy. I have no complaints. Father is the priority for now. I want him to get well soon so he can continue enjoying his golden years. He'll be 70 this September.
I'll just eat like a pig when this entire ordeal is over to regain my lost pounds. Ryan is a good cook after all. Papatabain daw niya ako ulit :-)

I'm very sorry to that. I hope everything will be well with your father. At least he'll have very good care at Makati med. I'm sure he'll be alright.

i am saddened to learn about your dad, hope he will get better soon...i am a nurse but i cant understand what you mean by "eye stroke" you stated that one half of his body is more weak thats more likely stroke or CVA...get rest too and dont get sick .
