I cannot seem to think of anything now than of my fatigue. Feeling like my body is going to droop anytime this day. Wanting to succumb for slumber, unfortunately working is a must. A series of sleepless nights is never really a good idea when you are working more or less seventeen hours a day. I do have a choice to rest last night, but I chose to accompany my mother tending my father who was just admitted because of an accident. He was just sent to the operating room this morning before I left for work. In the meantime when I try to think more my head gets dizzy and my eyes becomes dull like I could collapse in this very moment. Inhaling fresh air outside is the only resort I can do to somehow energize my debilitating strength. Although breathing does not suffice my weariness I kept on doing so to manage for the day. I just don’t know how long I can bear like this and if ever I can make it trough the day, for in this very hour, as the time slowly passes by, so as my breath slowly fading away.
However intense I maybe undergoing right now, I believe my soul and spirit is still solid and firm, ready to endure every devastating storm...
And by this time I don't need to think deep,I just need to breathe deep.Thank God I am still breathing…

Yeah, thank God we are still breathing. I think everyone gets tired in some periods of life. But it is so important to have some kind of hope and encouragement to keep you on the track.
I pray that you can take a day off and get some rest.
Have a nice time.

I liked this post - not just because I was moved by ettedo's story, but also because of her writing.
First, she chose a suitable title (Breathing) and expressed herself very well by telling us a moving story. At the end of her post, she let us know why she chose the title and why she was so exhausted that she really needed to take a deep breath. And she ended her post with such a nice conclusion: it can be very exhausting to take care of a patient.
I'm the chief of an ICU (intensive care unit) where you'll see critically ill patients. The patients' relatives are not allowed to take care of them in the ICU, though. They can visit the patients in the afternoon for half an hour.
So the relatives don't have to be that exhausted. You bet,however, you should pay the hospital for the ICU care in China - it could be too expensive! I know they don't need to pay for the medical care in some countries like Canada.
May ur father getting better soon, sorry to hear that bad news and feel like me who is exhausted and tired .. but please, be hopeful that ur father will get better and we have a quotation said :" real difficulties make real men "
good luck !

I just clicked on the "Like" at the bottom of your post - good writing!
I was sorry to hear that your father was just admitted to the hospital and you were exhausted from taking care of him at night. Such things happen, though. It sounds you really should take a rest and don't worry about your father too much. Relax and take a deep breath! I hope your father can make it and you can make it through this hard time too! Good luck!
May your father recover soon and may you and your family gain all the strength to face this situation.. do remember every hardship there's ease.
