Grandpa.... "pom"!

Thats how Wayne describes what happened to Grandpa. Yep, grandpa did 'pom'. Grandpa was going to work early on 11 August and was walking to the carpark when he slipped, fell & broke his kneecap into two. Apparently, his laptop bag which was really heavy was the culprit. The laptop bag hit his knee and that's when grandpa felt that immense sharp pain. Ambulance was called and after transferring from NUH to Alexandra and again from Alexandra to SGH, finally grandpa was warded in SGH.

And the next day at around 830pm, grandpa had his operation to fix his knee. And after 3 days of rest in the hospital, Grandpa was finally ready to head back home on 16 August, his wifey's birthday!

On Day 2 before grandpa's operation. That's Wayne showing us that Grandpa's hand was painful as he saw the nurse inserting the needle into grandpa's hand.




On Day 3 - Grandpa looks visibly weaker and tired after his operation. This was the day grandpa was in most pain. Well, he said it was more painful than child birth.. not that he has experienced child birth. Just exaggerating as usual.

So Grandpa is back at home resting now, using crutches to move around. Get well soon Grandpa!
