It was a shocking and hectic morning, the wireless bell rang at 7.30am, so the 3 of us when straight to mom's room, only to find her awake wanting to pee, because the maid was not around so she rang the bell. As l looked again, her tube was on the bed, she must have accidently pulled it out while she was asleep, and her last meal was at 12midnight. We just had to act fast, to put it back before she became real hungary. We really did'nt know where we should be heading to........to reinsert the tube, is it to the ward who did the inserting before or the daycare centre who is incharge of the future changeing of the tube or just to the emergency department? Anyway l decided to go to the daycare centre first, since they are suppose to visit us every 2weeks to put in a new tube. Well, the nurse there said it was not their job to insert new tube, they only do the inserting when they house call us in 2weeks time. She advised us to go to the emegercy department, while l was on the way to the emegency we had to pass the ward where they inserted my mom's tube before, so l went to ask the nurse incharge and she also advised us to bring my mom to the emergency departemt and ask them to reinsert. So we went, well, at the reception counter they said "to reinsert we have to go to the out patient govertment clinic at Jalan Mengikboi" which is about 2km away. So we went to the outpatient clinic, l went down first to register and ask what l should do and so on.........so great.... l was asked to take a number and waited for about 3mins they called out my number, went to the counter paid Rm1.00, asked to go to counter 7 spoke to the nurse and was asked to go to room 9 with my mom to do the reinsertion. So we had to wheelchair mom from the car to room 9, asked us to put her on the bed and wait. Hubby and maid was inside with mom, l was outside waiting because l cannot bear to see mom in pain or suffer, it was over in about 20mins. The male nurse that reinserted her was nice according to hubby. It was a terrible morning, the first thing l did when l reached home was to feed her because her last meal was 12midnight and now is already 11am, followed by a bath, and then she took her nap, so did all of us, just got to catch 'cat naps' whenever we can.

What a lot to go through just to have her tube reinserted. But glad to hear that she's ok now. Do take good care now and especially good rest. Wouldn't do if you fall sick too. Will continue to keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.
