Dad (2)

2 weeks after dad has his mild stroke, have been going to acupuncture every morning.

He was a good ‘boy’ when just happen, but this week he starts his old patent oledi.

Just had dinner, guess what mum cooked ? ‘Zhu Jiao’ (pork leg), and he was having his good time, I wonder why human being forget ‘pain’ so easily? or it was not pain enough.

White bread, White rice, Planta, Peanut butter, Pork leg, Biscuit (can finish in a day), I don’t know what else is coming.

I’m tired keep telling not to eat this, not to eat that. I think I have the feeling of ‘Heart broken’, I felt kind of helpless.

Fish (my youngest bro) came on last Mon stay till Thu, he was telling me ‘aya! er jie, they are old oledi, let them be la, what else can we do ?’ “Helpless”

Taking good care of ourself, put ourself in Good Health is a responsibility to our love one, is a form of love. Being healthy so we can take care of our young children, our parent. Being healthy so that our children do not need to worry about us.

I do not mind fetching dad for his treatment daily, i can take care of them if anything happen, but i just cannot take it when he is not doing what he suppose to, ‘taking care himself’

Dad

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.
