Dad injured himself at work

Today, the tutorials were cancelled due to Union Day. Something which I do not know what it was about. Anyway, it's good that there weren't any tutorials. I went to BB -Skytech Building to bring the new DVD player to service. Yes! It's new but as we never really test it. So we did not realize that it was faulty initially. The playing of any disc will lag. The video and sound would pause at every 1 to 2 seconds for 1 second or so. It was too fast to count.

As my mum do not wanted me to go alone, she followed me. After which, she decided to go to my aunt's place to help clean the house while I decide to go school. But I also wanted to go and get a bottle of conditioner. Mine is running very low so I decided to go and get from Westmall. My mum followed me. There, my mum said she want to grab some bite. In the end she decided to get from Burger King. The breakfast set. It was also something which I also never ate for quite some time. Thus I bought another set despite the fact that I just took breakfast at most 2 hours before.

Over at Westmall, my mum received a call from my dad. Overhearing the conversation I know something had happened to my dad so I questioned my mum after her tele-conversation. My dad had injured himself. Injured his leg. Don't know where but it seemed quite deep and my dad wanted to go to the clinic to wash up the wound and he was coming over to Westmall to pick us up.

When we saw him, he showed us the wound. Quite a big patch of blood clot was over the wound so I did not quite managed to see the actual wound. It was on his right leg. I asked if he was alright and if he can continue driving. I was prepared to drive if necessary but he assure us that he felt ok. He told me that he hurt himself at 8+am but was very busy then to be really bother about the wound. He just attempt to stop bleeding and make sure he can still move as per normal to make sure he did not injured the bone.

While going to the clinic, he dropped my mum over at my aunt's place. Then he called the clinic to see if there were too long queue. It was alright and thus, he went over immediately. I did not managed to go in with him. The lorry (Nissan Cabstar) that he drove to PSA in the morning does not have any carpark coupon. Thus, he asked me to look after the lorry while he went to see doctor.

When he finally came out, he told me that he had stitches. 3 stitches and he never asked if he need to go back to remove the stitches. He said as the doctor cleaned the wound, he said that he could see the bone. OMG! That is bad. But anyway that position does not have much flesh to protect the bone. My dad said the doctor said it's just superficial wound so it's not serious. I am relieved to hear that.

My dad drove me to school after that and I was still early for lecture so I went level 4 to look for my friends cum ex-colleagues.
