Writing This Outside ICU

by tinabell20


Last week my dad was hospitalised unexpectedly when he fell and knocked his head in the bathroom. I immediately called for an ambulance and it was pouring hard that day.


Arriving at the hospital, I was pacing back and forth outside the surgery room.

I was alone;

waiting,

worrying,

and praying.


It was the darkest time of my life.

Waiting has never felt so ordeal.


Luckily my dad survived and he is recovering well.

But at the same time, I'm feeling so depressed right now.


As the only child with no income, I now bear the responsibility to take care of my dad and pay for the bills. It is a little too scary and heavy for me to carry on my back. However, I will stay strong because now my dad is all that I have left and so does he.


I want him to not worry about me.

I will work hard for him and for myself.


I do not have friends I could talk to so I wrote here. I hope the team will post my story and I would be grateful to have the community cheered me on.
