Mum's sudden illness

On Monday's night, we receied a sms from Adeline saying thatis mum had just been discharged from hospital after suspected a mild stroke. what a fright! After calling sis, she said doc admitted her to hospital on sunday morning after she went to see doc on her condition and she was immediately sent to hospital. She has high blood pressure and diabetes so having stroke beinreally not unexpected. Being so far away, I really was in no position to go back so they decided to keep us in the dark.

Well! at least she is fine now. she can still move her limbs and do simple chores except being a bit slow. She said the others have shown concern and that is a caring act. We are so far apart and guess if anything happened, I will still be able to catch a plane back home la.

In fact these few days, Charlynn and I are still not feeling well. she had fever and flu since Sat and asthma attack as well. Doc prescibed medication for her but she seems unable to take her medication on time. Today she is off to catch a play organised by her school. Hopefully she remembered to take her ventolin puff along. As for me, the backache was killing me for more than a fortnight so I had to go and see a doc. the medication works and I am still recovering. Having backache is no small matter. I did not try the remedy I used during my coninement as I find buying the Chinese herb a bit too expensive.

Well! life is like that. When one thinks everything is smooth sailing, it suddenly throws in a challenge for us. We know not what tomorow will bring so I am treasuring everyday as if kinda silly to worry about the past and future. What past cannot be undone and we just have to learn from our mistakes. As for tomorrow, if you are already giving yr best for today, then there's nothing to worry about the unknown tomorrow.

IT'S ALWAYS THE DARKEST PART OF THE NIGHT THAT WE ARE MOST UNSURE. SOMEHOW AFTER THE MOMENTS, THE SUN WILL RISE AND EERYTHING WILL BE WELL AGAIN.
