Life's a circle...

In the midst of all the assignments, clinicals and lectures... I realize that you really can't escape from the circle of life... All the feelings that i experienced before is all coming back to me now... in the busy schedule, can't help but to feel a bit of tiredness, drop in enthusiasm level, tired of always having to communicate with other people where unevitably i have to put on a mask of some kind...
Really feel like going into a retreat...

Mum's better...

Been home for 5 days during my university's convo holidays last week...
Seen my mum, although still feeling a bit weak, at least she can walk and talk like before. A big stone off my heart! (Is there such a proverb in english like this? So long time never use essay english, become 'karat' already... *sigh*)

Went to Penang after that to attend convo.. Ate a lot of local dishes such as the all famous Penang cha kuey tiaw, Penang laksa, cendol, loh mee etc
and best of all, finally get to sing karaoke at Gurney Plaza! Ha..Ha... Shiok!

So nice! too bad i don't have a camera, didn't take pictures to post it here.. so you just have to imagine lar... = )

Days of Sadness...

My mum's been hospitalized in ICU, HSAJB...
It just happened so suddenly..!
Just last week i got a call from my brother saying my mum entered the hospital due to renal calculi (kidney stones)...
Ermm, okay stones aren't a big problem at all, perhaps it will just passed out by itself

Then, last Friday, i got a call from my brother saying my mum had been admitted into ICU! I frozed. I really frozed on the spot.

Worse thing is that they haven't found out the real cause which was causing all the symptoms (low blood pressure, chest pain, O2 saturation low, respiratory failure)!
Then, when i gotten home the next day, more shockingly, i was told my mun have to be intubated (which meant really really serious..!)
Okay, what's worse than this can happened? I really hope not...

We went to visit her everyday and she was already on sedation.
I talked to her when i don't even know whether she could hear me..
Thinking to myself, 'Perhaps this is a chance for her to get back the lost sleepless hours that she had'. Positive thinking, did some good to me at least...

After a few days, the doctor told us that she can be extubated! Boy was i glad! When we visit her the next day, she was conscious as the sedation's effects wore off, but she complains of abdominal pain this time round. Provisional diagnosis: gallstones.
My brother assured me that this is a minor thing compared to what happened to her.

Really hope she won't get any of the complications and recover soon.
