Accident

Hi. *sigh* I feel sorry for not being able to post anything new. I said a few weeks ago that I'd probably be posting more since I have loads of stories to tell from the training. :| Well, I do.

But first off, let me tell you about a sad incident that happened a week ago. On my father's way to the church (he's on his motorbike), he met an accident. A car (Isuzu Sportivo) hit the motorbike which led of course to my father getting injured. :(

The time it happened, there was only me, my eldest sister and her babies at home. My brother-in-law, who was also going to church that time found our father maybe 15minutes after the accident and called home as soon as they reached the hospital. Me and my sister were in disbelief. Though we always thought that my father is prone to traffic accident, we didn't expect him to get into an accident when riding his motorbike (because he's always careful when on his bike). But he's kind of a reckless driver because he's old, you know how old people always want to get their way on the road.. Plus I've been in 2 traffic accidents with my father driving, in fact, I still have problems looking at intersections when I'm riding any vehicle. [The bus ride is a different story. My heart still beats frantically when I ride a bus. -__-]

It wasn't his fault. It was the driver of the Sportivo's fault. My father was carefully crossing an intersection when the Sportivo hit him. That car shouldn't have went straight to him because the road past my father is a one way street. But he did, that's why my father was hit. The car's driver shouldered the responsibility as he found out he was the one in the wrong.

I heard my brother-in-law telling my sister how he found my father after the accident. He said my father was sitting in the corner of a street and there were people eyeing what happened. My father's forehead was bleeding and his shirt was torn with blood smeared all over it. :( No one was doing anything. :( It was such a good thing that my brother-in-law left the house after my father, for if not, who's going to take my father to the hospital if the people around were just looking? :( My bro-in-law also mentioned about the car's driver staying in the car after the accident with his wife was crying. The driver wasn't going out not because he refused to take responsibility but because he was so shocked at what happened; he was trembling.

After taking my father to the hospital, my bro-in-law called home and my eldest sister, his wife, received the call. I was just sitting in a corner watching TV. After telling me about the accident, I just stood there, trying to process the news. My eldest sister tried to call my elder sister (who is currently in the mall with our mother) and my brother. My elder sister didn't get to answer the call but my brother called as soon as my eldest sister hang up the phone. When my elder sister and our mother came home (just a few minutes after our last call), we informed them. We told them that my brother will be fetching them to go to the hospital. We couldn't possibly all go since there's a 1-week old baby, a 1-year-and-7-month old little girl, we had to worry about. I was left with my eldest sister and her babies. We just waited for news from my brother and sister.

They did a CT scan on my father and found a small crack on his skull, somewhere between his nose and left eye. We couldn't possibly just let him go home of course. But we had to get a second opinion from another hospital because the first hospital we sent him to was 'a bit' unreliable. After arranging the papers, they took my father to a better hospital and got him treated there. The hospital did another CT scan to make sure that the crack wouldn't result to any other damage like blood clot. Thank goodness, the doctors said it wouldn't, as long as the proper medications were taken. My father went home last Thursday and he's currently resting. He can walk okay now but still get dizzy from time to time but he's doing really okay. I'm just glad. We're all glad. :)
