Mum is OK

For the last few days back, it was one of test of growing up. My mum suffered chest discomfort for already 2 months. I begin to realize again mother’s love. You see being a mother not just worrying about us, whether we have enough milk until if we get a good job or wife, she refused to let us worry about her.

I am the person who know best of her situation for the last few days. Starting from last Friday 21 Oct 2005. She was scheduled to meet Dr Au Yong again before she makes her yearly trip to my sister’s place. From that moment, I knew she was hiding a lot about her health conditions from us. She was experiencing chest discomfort for almost 2 months that never tell us what was going wrong and how tired she would want to do her evening exercise.

So Dr. Au Yong recommended her to do a scan (Endoscopy Check) if her heart blood vessels are ok. If the outcome is bad, we would all have to stay back if any operations is needed. I believe this is a part of growing up process.

She went to the scan yesterday, 27 Oct 2005 1230 hrs. Our family was feeling so down that phones keep ringing. My brother in KL and eldest Sister from HK were kept informed. I began to realize one more thing again. It looks like everything I saw has not much beauty except time. Money can be earn back after we lost them. But not time. We can't earn back time. We can't borrow time from others. We can't turned back the time.

The results came out around 1300 hrs. Dr Au Yong told my mum that she lives until 100 years old. She heart is pretty normal but that’s has be something that we should be aware of in the future. Oily food especially ‘Laksa’ need to be avoided. So reminder to my both sisters not being extreme to Laksa.

For such an experience, I created a special bone with my mum. She gave a very special signal of approval of something. I can’t tell you all now coz this is in the web. But it is something really good.
