Hospital visits

It is a sign of my generation that three of my friends have had reason to be rushed to Emergency Departments in recent months and two friends underwent major surgery last Monday and will be spending their Christmas in hospital.

I have been visiting my friends on alternate days for the past six days.

Kn is at Prince of Wales Hospital after having countless gallstones removed in a 3.5 hours long operation. He is in a lot of pain and his hospital stay has been extended as his blood pressure has risen and he may also have picked up an infection. He has to undergo further surgery late next month to remove what couldn't be attended to during Monday's procedure.

Je is at St Vincents Hospital following a triple heart bypass. She is recovering splendidly and appears to be a 'star' patient although she had a scare last night with some bleeding that is being attributed to a colonoscopy she underwent a week before the bypass. Her stay is being extended as well.
My group of friends jokes how our main topic of conversation at get togethers nowadays revolves around our respective health issues.
