The lunatic rantings of a middle aged young guy

Oooohhhh.... What to do???

Hey campers... You know the previous posts when I mentioned that my daughter would be born on the 13th of June, then it became 29th of June, then now..... it will be tomorrow..... hence the sudden post and at such a late time.... (Hey it is past 9pm here in Japan and I gotta wake up by 6am ok?)

Anyway, last Friday, I was having one of the shittiest days of my life and though I have had many... the shit just kept dropping that day. First.... I was driving home from Compass Point when I was about to vroom into a left hand curve and filter into the lane when the lady in front of me stayed still.... I jammed the brakes..... Damned.... she had so much space to filter and I would even have space.... so a bit shell shocked and perhaps a bit pissed off, I got into my carpark and was backing into the lot.... when crunch!!!!! I ended backing into a damned pillar.... please do not ask me how it happened... I must have stepped into a black hole where the logic of the universe ceases to exist.... Cursing and swearing and cursing and then swearing again, I got home and my wife called me.....

"Dear.... uhhhmmmmm..... the operation will be brought forward to 27th May....." "Holeyyyyy F******ck!!!! How come......how come???? Are you okay...??!!!"

She was okay, but her innards were starting to drop out and if it came out by the normal way.... she would bleed and so the doctors decided to make my life a bit more difficult by asking her to go in 2 days earlier... which meant by the time I reached on Saturday, I would only have a few days to help her prepare for the birth....

So fast forward to today, Tues the 26th, she went to the hospital at the unholy hour of 8am... which is 7am Sillypoer time hor... and started her journey.... Examinations, explanations, exclamations, expletives.... all in.... Then baby will be cut out at 10am tomorrow, but her journey again starts at 6am Japan time... which is 5am Sillypore time... Why so drama? She gotta clear the shit out of her system..(literally hor), then get to wear the DVT socks and the pump and then she gotta get a shot for stopping the stomach from moving and then walk to her doom... oooppsss I mean operating theatre at 9.30. There they will probe and poke her till 10 and cut the baby out... Then they will put her to full sleep and sew her back up....

Now... the doctors forsee that she will still bleed.. As to how much she will bleed, they have no idea... It could be 1000cc, which will not be too bad... or it could be more.... So no matter what or how much she bleeds, she is destined for the ICU for at least a night.... now comes baby.... Since she is 2 weeks and a bit more premature.... So her lungs may not be well formed and since she will not go through the usual virginal tract... her lungs will not be squeezed and so she may have further problems.... So in she goes into ICU too......

Now imagine the interesting dilenma.... both mother and child... in ICU... but both ICU's are not in the same place.... who do I look at more? By the time the day ends... I will be the slimmest dad in the block..... no jokes man.... But instructions from the wife is to make sure I spend more time with the kid..... hmmmm seems like she is sick of it after carrying it for so many months.... hahahahahaha...

Well, wish me luck man.... I sure as hell need it.
