I was A Shockinged today Day
It was At 10: 52 A.M., 10:52am when I received a call from my younger brother. He said,
"Sister, mom is in the operating room now!"
I was so shocked at that time moment and don't do not know how to react. I thought it was cos of due to mom's high blood pressure. When I regained my composure I asked ,him what had happened. after several seconds. My brother He told me that there was is 1 a big tomor tumour in her womb and even the doctor hasn't known did not know if it is malignant tumor. He said mom Also, she would be in the operating room for at least for 2 two hours. Then dad then called as well, telling answered the phone, he told me not to worry too much. It Everything would be fine; he assured me. I asked him why they did not tell me earlier. He said replied that even if I was informed we told you earlier, I would not be of help much you can not help a lot. At last, it is I who will solve the problem. Don't understand this line. What problem did you solve? Perhaps this solved the mystery why you were not informed earlier. If this is the case, it is not a problem but a mystery. I did not cry when my brother told me the bad news. But However, I can not cannot help crying when I spoke to dad.
Much later in the day, dad called me and told to let me know that the operation had ended. Mom will be awake in the evening.
At 8:55 pm, P.M., dad called me again, and I spoke to with 2 mom. Her voice became was much lower than her normal tone voice. I cried again. I asked her if she felt any painful. She said answered that there is no pain now after the effect of narcotic as the effect of the painkillers had not faded. 3
Today's event reminds Events of today reminded me of a Chinese saying, "福无双至祸不单行" (Happiness do not come in pairs, troubles never come alone" singlely. I lost 3000 Yuan 10 days ago. and today... , my mom was in the operating room for over 2 hours. This is her second time being in the operating room.
Where is good luck? I am waiting for you... So I am expecting you now, Lady Luck!
When your mother is no longer in serious condition, you know Lady Luck has touched her already. Don't even dare to hope for more :)
1. At this juncture, you don't know if it was removed. So it has to be in present tense. If in past tense, it implied that it was already taken out and would be confusing to the reader unless you change the wording.
2. Let me see if I can explain the difference between "to" and "with" in this context.
You You speaking ----- with------> mother
\
\ speaking to
\
v
mother
3. Your sentence was wrong in timing. What you wrote was there is NO pain AFTER the effect of painkillers had worn off. Usually there IS pain afterwards in the operation.
