So my Asian dad's health has been declining like hell the past few months. Literally my Asian dad collapsed in the bathroom. He then passed out an additional 2 times while foaming at the mouth but was luckily already sitting in a chair so I didn't have to worry about him collapsing on those 2 occasions. In the meantime, my Asian dad would say "don't call 911 because there's nothing wrong with me" after regaining consciousness. My Asian dad has always had this obnoxious fear of calling 911 everytime his health fails. It's like he's in denial with his health and doesn't want to own up to all the bullshit he's done to himself (alcoholism, eating too much fast food, etc). Last year, he couldn't even handle rice, started choking on it (related to dysphagia), passed out and started turning white. Also, he wasn't waking up from a nap one time and it was found that he started getting CO2 poisoning because his lungs aren't working properly and is filling up with water. What does he do about all this so he can improve his health? NOTHING! Luckily I was home to call 911
In fact, he started going back to eating fast food and drinking beer every chance he gets because in his words "there's nothing wrong with my health". Even worse, when he does start having problems again (making gurgling noises as well as shallow labored breathing when he sleeps), he doesn't want to call 911 because he's "too embarrassed to be wheeled out on a stretcher" and he doesn't "want the neighbors to know something is wrong with him". Or he doesn't want to "draw attention to himself". And amongst all this, he doesn't want to use his CPAP machine because it's uncomfortable despite his doctor telling him over and over and over and over again to use it
Meantime, while all this is going on, my stupid Asian mom was not paying attention at first because she's too busy gossiping on the phone (another obnoxious problem I tolerate from my Asian mom). Either that, or she's busy with her religious fanaticism or too busy running around with her friends so she can gossip again. My Asian mom was also the same person when, my dad had quadruple bypass surgery, she would nag the st out of my dad when he came home from the hospital. Then complain that dealing with my dad is stressful and then she would run off with her priest friend to another country for a vacation (Vietnam, China, Thailand, Austrailia, Samoa and with the same priest friend). Everytime she'd come home fr.om vacation, once again, she would nag the st out of my dad and run off again. I'm at the point where I'm saying "f**k it" and just let them suffer as it's always me to take care of my dad when my Asian mom isn't paying attention � of the time
