death, dying, and hospitalizations..

i watched armaggedon on star movies earlier this evening, and i once again caught myself in tears.. sad kai someone had to die to save the world and in order for the happiness of someone. im sure u noe the story of bruce willis giving up his life, in place of ben affleck's para sa happiness nilasa iyang daughter.. which was sweet bya gyud.. gawd, i am such a sap for these dramas..

anyhow, speaking of death and of dramas of my own, death totally DOES scare the living shit outta me. im not ready to die yet since i still have a lot of things to prove to other people, most especially to my family and to myself. and im not ready sad for any of my loved ones to die, labi na gyud akong parents. its not because i still depend on them financially. im the youngest in a family of six children where every one of my siblings are working nah, so basically, im still going to be well provided for, should any of them die. but i dont want either of my parents die yet because i still would want them to see me grow up. to be there with me on my graduation day, to encourage me when i apply for my first job, to teach me driving lessons when i buy my first car, to help me select a house when i would like to live on my own, to give me away on my wedding day, to be with me as i give birth to my first child, and to spend christmas with me and my children.. i dont want them to die yet because they still have to help me and to see me become successful and even better than what my other siblings have become. they just cant die yet. i still have dreams for them. they have to be there with me!

what happened earlier gave me a really big scare. we were in my sister's new house where my mommy was putting up new curtains. we were about to go home nah, i wuz even waiting for a taxi nah. i wasnt even there when it happened. it so happens na mommy had to make tarong just a tiny fold sa curtain when na off balance ang chair that she was stepping on. pag tukod nya, nag they heard a crack daw. the next thing i knew when i came back inside the house was my mom on the floor nah, grimacing in pain. being the wanna-be nurse that i am, i did what first came into mind. to splint the leg. then came my prescriptions of ibuprofen (which was the only medication present) to temporarily relieve the pain. then my dad came over after we called him, and he got us an ambulance. i didnt go with them to the hospital since i had to go home pah to get mommy's atm card and a few clothes. when i got to the hospital around 30 minutes later, i started to busy myself with mommy nah. good thing we have this family friend na doctor so she easily got things speeded up for us..

the xray results showed two broken bones in the left lower leg. both tibia and fibula had cracked. good thing daw it didnt get dislocated yet, coz had it been, it would have been more painful. spriral fracture lng daw ang nahitabo and bcoz of good handling and transportation, it didnt complicate much to be a sever fracture yet. wala pang results as to what intervention is to be taken but we have a feeling that it defintely is going to be a surgical procedure. but there are still high hopes for a cast - which would cost less and would need less rehabilitative therapy.

what happened tonight showed me how mature and more responsible i am nah now. imagine, i withdrew 10 thou in cash and around 6 thou is still in my shorts pocket pah right now. basically, i wuz the one who did first aid and while we were there in the emergency room, i wuz the one asking questions to the doctor, and while were already roomed in, i wuz the one who changed mommy's clothes, and other nursing stuff..

my dad and i agreed that he would stay for the night and i come back in the morning bringing other things that they might need, and to make asikaso my mommy. so here i am blogging my first blog. its not much yet and there's still a lot of work to be done with the layout and everything, but i promiss to get back to it as soon as i have the time. as of the moment, i need to get some sleep and energy for i have nursing duties to do tomorrow. *sigh* and here i wuz thinking that this would be a stress-free sembreak. lolx. :D but its okei, it will be a learning experience man for me, and it sure is making me feel important..ü
