Road to recovery.


Today marks the third day since Mum's operation, and she finally could be allowed to stand up and move around. It was nice to see her laughing with us and all. The support she received from my relatives and church members has been nothing short of amazing. And, I truly believe that God has played a huge role in it. The visits have been arranged in such a way that when a family pops by, after they leave, another would arrive to keep my mum company. And with so many people bothering to take time to come and visit he, I think my family would be forever grateful. For helping us to tide through a difficult time. It been a trial for my mum, everyday when we vacate her hospital room at nine to ten. The feeling must have sucked. I have been warded before. And sometimes, the loneliness just eats into you. The entire place just brings you down. Tonight, with her change of room, my sis decided to sacrifice and stay over with my mum, and to provide her with the company and moral support. And I am really looking forward to having mum back at home. To nag at me to stop using the computer. Cook for us, although I don't always enjoy her food. But there is nothing in this world that can replace the warmth and love which only a family can provide.


Anyway, my mum is staying at Mount Alvernia, the hospital opposite Macritchie Reservoir. And I tell you. That hospital is great. The nurses and staff there are so much more polite and reassuring. The hospital is fully airconditioned. And they have facilities such as sofas to ensure that the visitors can feel comfortable. What's more, they have selected cable channels such as ESPN and HBO. Without the conventional hospital bed, one would probably have mistaken the place for a Hotel. I guess, when one is sick, it would be really nice to at least have a comfortable and homely environment to stay in.


Anyway, a short note of appreciation to those who have kindly asked about my mum and how's she is doing. =)

Reminiscence the past, cherish the present, look forward to the future with hope.

When discipline is present, it is evident. It is the precise control of every aspect of one's self. It is the bedrock of success.
