… but upon my return home from my three-day hospital stay, I discovered that Opah Irfan had a high fever and could not sit up. She was extremely weak from illness. So, we took her to the Klinik Kesihatan downtown before it closed, leaving Irfan alone at home to do his homework.
When we arrived, Ain and Atok Irfan got a wheelchair for Opah.
After a blood test, the medical personnel there discovered that Opah’s blood sugar, blood pressure and body temperature were sky high. The nurses there had to inject some insulin into her system.
Then, they called an ambulance to transport her to the Emergency Room of the hospital next door – escorted by Ain – while Atok & I returned home to get her medical records. What followed was a six-hour wait at the ER for the lab to return a new blood test to see if Opah needed hospitalisation. We took turns having dinner at nearby restaurants and staying by her side.
Fortunately, a hospital stay was unnecessary. Her blood was clean of any infection although her urine was.
We returned home just after three in the morning.
When Atok and Opah headed home to Sitiawan, Opah was feeling much better.
glad that opah felt better though. hope she continues to feel healthy.
