Life Must be Good

Almost ready for bed when Idlan asked for more food. We still for some Nando's left which he gobbled down in double quick time. With Puan Anita's help of course.

In front of his console playing on his Wii U, with Anita feeding him and Irfan attending to his every needs, life must be good ...

Brotherly Love

So far, so good. Things had been cordial and civilised, with Irfan helping his brother out, fetching his drinks, getting the TV remotes for him and setting up his iPad.

I have now dubbed Irfan the "Messenger Boy", as he had been keen to fetch things around all afternoon. Good boy.

The Nando's for tonight had already been sorted out. Next would be dinner, which I would be going out with Anita. It had been raining all afternoon, and I did what I do best. Napping!

Woken Up

Alhamdulillah. It was all settled. Idlan had just woken up. And he had been talking nonsense since. In between, there was the coherent questions such as, "Where's my KFC?", and "Why is this needle on my left not my right hand?".

I'll blame that to the anaesthesia. He didn't go back to sleep once he woke up. And even worse, turned to his side once. Luckily the local anaesthesia was still in effect. Otherwise ...

Would be another hour or so before he wakes up proper. Enough time for me to do a quick round in the ward.

The Wait

We arrived at the hospital we'll before 7.30, got ourselves registered and was waiting for his turn to be called in. His cousin, Adam was second on the list, and he was still waiting for his turn. I suspect Idlan would be called about an hour after.

The only complaint he had was he was hungry. The last meal he had was at around 10 last night. He has yet to have anything to drink since. Just occupying himself on the iPad. Mumbling to himself after the weighing and observation.

So, Anita was outside and I was waiting with Idlan at the waiting area. I would call her in soon as soon as I settled the paperwork with the nurses.

Almost Set

What do you want to eat tonight Idlan? You would have to fast from midnight tonight!

The answer was Nando's. Nando's it was then. Idlan actually finished his plate of half chicken. No complaints.

We have moved a bed to the main sitting room upstairs so that Idlan didn't have to climb downstairs when he reached home from the hospital tomorrow morning. I have just hooked up his Wii U console onto the TV there as well.

We were almost all set.
