Corrupted

Rest day at last. I'm home alone I have to do some laundry in a bit. I cooked egg noodles for breakfast and my sister has to get off to work. I slept past 2AM because I reformatted my computer but I'm happy it's as good as new again. I just reformatted last week but I got so OC with this "Longhorn sidebar" I re-installed the whole thing although I'm aware that it's a risk since it's tied up to Windows so to cut it short what I'm afraid that may happen just happened. Internet Explorer got corrupted and system errors started popping up. 


I went to Quiapo last Sunday and bought Windows XP installers after dropping by at the church. I was there yesterday too because the first Windows XP black edition cd I bought won't boot the old one wasn't working properly either. Pirated installers are pretty much disposable I make sure that I have lots for back-up. Piracy is not good but who can afford to buy original copies of Microsoft products these days? It's way too expensive I'd rather spend the money for something else like for my dad's medication or something. 


It's not over a month yet since my dad's ear operation good thing his wound has healed somehow but he's still complaining of severe head pain so we decided to ask for another doctor's opinion of what could be causing the pain. My parents went to Cardinal Santos last night they're still awaiting test results that may take 2-3 days. The doctor told them that my dad's case is rare and that they can't see anything wrong inside his ear. They couldn't explain the exact cause of pain unless it's some kinda tumor but it's still under observation. I've been reading lots of articles from the Internet I'm really worried and concerned about what my dad's going through hopefully it's not a tumor. I don't want him to have another operation it's just too much for his condition to be under the knife again. It's my dad's birthday on Friday, I wish for him to get well I'm sure that's all he ever wanted for his birthday too. 


I didn't know about the foundation day thingy in Makati yesterday I'm quite pissed off they closed Ayala Avenue. I walked all the way from Ayala to Edsa under the scorching heat of the sun I'm almost ready to pass out I thought I lost about a hundred pounds of body fat on that walkathon. Wtf.

Post Op

I was on birthday vacation in Baguio when my dad got hospitalized due to an ear infection. He started complaining of severe headache he couldn't sleep anymore. My parents decided to travel to Antipolo for the second opinion if it was just mere ear infection. He was confined at Marikina Valley Hospital with the help of his brother whose daughter works there as a nurse. As per the doctor's advise, dad has to undergo an operation but they lack facilities for his so he was referred to UERM Hospital. Thank God dad survived another operation, this has been his fourth operation since 2000. 


I was really frantic at work during his operation that lasted four hours according to my sister who's with him. I only get updates via text messages from her. I hurried home after my shift so I won't miss my brother who came to me fetch at the apartment to accompany me to the hospital to check on dad. I felt pity for seeing my dad looking so weak. I'd help him get up whenever he needs to go to the restroom. 



I haven't been sleeping good because I'm still worried about my dad's post-operation condition. His blood glucose is very unstable and is still being closely monitored by his doctor. He's still on medication and advised to follow a strict diet since he's diabetic so it will take a while for his wound to heal completely. I've been doing self-research on regarding his condition to educate myself. I want to completely understand his condition and possible complications that may arise. I hope and pray that my dad will get better soon.
