Madman!

I Broke My Promise; I Can't Hold On

I broke my promise; I can't hold on any longer.

I had originally thought that once the stent procedure was finished, everything that followed would go smoothly.

I left the hospital after 9:00 this morning, found a place to sleep for two hours, and then woke up. Then I received a call that there was bleeding under the skin and blood was needed. I had to go donate blood first to get the certificate so we could use the blood in time.

I rushed to donate 400ml, then went back to the hospital to transfer the patient to the ICU. (It wasn't quite life-threatening, but due to other reasons—all the doctors in the department were away for exams, plus the bleeding, it wasn't safe to stay in the regular ward.) By the time I finished, it was nearly 8:00 PM.

And I couldn't go back home either; there are two flu patients at home...

I just checked into a hotel.

I had previously thought that with someone there during the day, I could find time to rest and write.

Now, I have no choice but to break my word.

My apologies! I really can't hold on anymore.

I'm going to take a nap first, then get up and write.
