Techmui sms me this morning, saying that Dad is not feeling well, coming back with mom today. I have a feeling must be related to his HBP and Cholestrol, but just have a feeling do not want to ask too much.
When Dad called me before arrival, heard a diffrent tone over other end, was thinking..(luckily just soar throat)
When saw dad, he looks ok. But when I heard him speak, I know he is not ok.
I was calm, ask a few questions and told him : ” Ba, you have mild stroke” Suggested acupuncture, not open. Then suggested University Hospital, but he refused, then we went to another Chinese Sin sei, during the journey, told him that mild stroke can still be cure but must cure it as early as possible. After a second thought, he changed his mind. Immediately, we go to UH.
Registered at Emergency ward at RM 20. A young doctor checked and said everything OK, But suggested ECG, while dad is having ECG, Young Doc asked again some question, later requested Medical Doctor have another check.
Waited for about 30 mins, MD came, very experience, checked confirm with mild stroke, checked ECG then put Dad on CT Scan. No blood clog after Scan. Dad told to go back for a full check-up, take extra precaution to prevent second attack.
And we left.
Actually, I was preparing this moment. Coz Dad never control his diet habit. All this while, I’m so worry this will happen, but when this happen, I was just thinking of what to do next, just keep praying to god, show me the way. Dad was cool, his calmness and alertness save him too.
[...] My father got a mild stroke yesterday, I not going to repeat it, since Bridgette already blog about it, can read from here. [...]

really have to take extra precaution. my mom has milk stroke many years ago, after that she start to control her diet (not fully lar but just avoid taking too oily & high cholestrol food) and until now she is still fine.
