* Hella Week! *
"Speaking for others is easier..."
It's been a hell week. I've been so stressed that I haven't even updated anything yet. No new pics at friendster and multiply; I didn't even notice the problem at friendster. Sigh.
My grandfather died last Saturday (November 15, 2008) because of septic shock (as said in his death certificate). I was in Oasis, La Union that night with my parents and siblings when my cousin called us that grandpa was barely breathing and he was brought to the hospital. By the time we were about to go to Baguio, they called and declared that grandpa was dead.
It was so fast... Friday night: I monitored grandpa's vital signs every hour knowing that his BP and temperature was not stable. After 3 hours of stable vital signs, I went back downstairs and endorsed grandpa to my cousin. I told him to check his temperature; place it in his armpit for 10minutes to be accurate before reading. Saturday morning: I wasn't able to check on him because I had my Skills Lecture that morning. By lunch time, I went home and checked grandpa's vital signs again. He was really sweating a lot and told me to tell my cousin to boil water for him. He looked really fine.. Saturday night: We had a night out with my family at Oasis. By 10:20, they called and told us that grandpa was dead.
There has been a lot of problems at home lately and I couldn't put my thoughts together on what to prioritize. This Thursday, I'll be having my duty at Atok, Benguet. I don't know if I'll be able to attend the funeral. I feel bad because I know I needed to be in both places..
Right now, I'm really confused. I should be packing my uniform and things because we'll be travelling to Atok tomorrow afternoon. Yada yada. Aja!
