afternoon bad news
Tuesday, 27 May 2008
My uncle and my cousin came over from Malaysia to my place last night so that my uncle would get his medical check up done the next day. So today, my mummy accompanied him.
Report: Brain surgery. For the fifth time in his life.
Cost: SGD $17,000 +++
My heart sank. Not because of the cost, but the sheer number of surgeries done to his brain. It all started with just a fall in his younger days.
According to my mummy, she smelled an unpleasant rotting odour emitting out of his body... it is similar to the smell when you stepped into the room with rather sickly patients. My heart sank even deeper... is it a sign?
My heart aches whenever I see him trying to keep a positive attitude or joking with my relatices. As if to tell everyone that he is perfectly fine and the surgery is a minor one.
Dear Lord, please give me strength to accept whatever that happens. I ask for nothing but Your presence to be with me.
