They say that Health is Wealth. At
this age I know it is true indeed. Like folks of my age [I am seventy five plus
years old] and above we all can never tell when we would be down with some
serious health problem. Like me I was having constant stomach ache and treat it
just as a normal pain. With some ointment and patented medicine I get alright
and did not worry too much. Then my daughter ask me to do a check-up which
I did. After a numbers of checking by the medial professionals I was found to
have Gallstone and it had to be removed. So on March 31 this year I went for a
surgery and it was removed. Since then I am recuperating well but as yet to be back
to normal. After the surgery I lost my appetite and only after almost three months did I
gain back my appetite and the sense of taste. I lost 7 kilo of my weight and
now had recovered by days. I no longer drive to the city, just kept to the
vicinity of the house.
Yesterday I found a Blogger's friend through the
latest posting by his children on his Blog has fallen sick too and now been
treated at a Specialist Hospital in Kuala Lumpur. Incidentally a week ago I was
told by a friend in the neighbourhood that a mutual friend who live near my
house was boarded to a Care Centre by his wife. So yesterday I went to the
house and got more detail. His wife told me that she was not able to take care
of him thus she decided to put him in a home Care Centre. I thought that was a good
idea since the private Care Centre would be able to take care of him. In
February a retired Army Officer and a close friend of mine got a stroke and was
hospitalized for more than two months. Two week ago my spouse and I went to see
him at his house in Bangsar. He look better but still learning of how to live a
life after going through a stroke.
So folks like all my friends I am taking it
easy and hope that friends would understand that people at our age are no
longer like before. I believe it takes time for folks of our age to totally recover;
it does takes time.
Have a nice day anyway.
