After I turned 64 on 04.08.2013, I noticed that my health condition had begun to go downhill. Apart from my primary health concern, which had been with me since 26.06.2009, I started having problems with my digestive system. Due to the consumption of some highly tainted raw food in mid November 2013, I was plagued with the E-Coli Sepsis Syndrome. I landed myself in the ICU at HSA, JB for three days, and became a patient at the Pusat Perubatan 1 Wing for a week (14.11.13 - 21.11.13). Those were indeed the darkest days of my life and to add the icing upon the cake, I was also diagnosed with another hereditary chronic ailment, that is, the celebrated DM. How 'low' can anyone go?
During these past seven months, I've been fighting my battles 'alone'. No one can really understand and feel everything that I've been, and still am going through. Chronic fatigue has become my middle name and I really have to watch whatever I put in my mouth, these days. The worst thing that I have to endure is having a pair of considerably 'weak legs'. I have to constantly massage them with the appropriate medication so as to attain some measure of relief. Sigh!
Today marks the seventh 'anniversary' of my admission into the ICU in HSA, JB. Reckon I won't be forgetting so easily the 14th day of every month, these days.
As always, despite everything, I truly feel blessed for the simple mercies and blessings in my life. Thank you Allah SWT. Syukur Alhamdulillah. Ameen.....
