SIGH!
I'm still ventilating about my poor state of health. Nothing new, really! It's really disheartening to be afflicted with so many diseases at the same time. Just how much can this old body constitution endure? Pray tell me! During the course of 2016, I have been feeling quite rotten. My chronic pain has never left me. Honestly speaking, my life has been a nightmare, from as far back as the 1960s. Yeah, that's right!
For the record, I'll jot down the chronology of events, where my poor health is concerned. Here goes.....
1965 - I was struck with Nephritis at the age of 15. Was warded at HSAJB from 25.4.1965 till 25.5.1965.
Late 2004 - I joined the 'Hypertension' fraternity ( a legacy from my late Dad).
June 2009 - Got afflicted with the Big C (legacy from my late Mom). Underwent the Big M, Ch and R at HSIJB.
July 2013 - Underwent WLE at HSIJB.
Nov 2013 - Was afflicted with E Coli Sepsis. Was warded at HSAJB for a week (13.11.13 - 21.11.13). Was also diagnosed with DM, and all its accompanying discomforts, followed suit (chronic pain, chronic fatigue, mood swings, utter despair, etc etc !!!!!).
July 2016 - Fractured my right ankle after a fall. Got treated at HSAJB. Was in a cast for 59 days. Had to use a wheelchair. After the cast was removed, underwent three physiotherapy sessions.
Ya Allah, Ya Tuhan ku, I honestly and truly hope that the new year, 2017 will not be seeing the repeat of all the utter despair that I have had to endure. And that endless smiles and laughter will be replacing all my endless sighs!
INSYAALLAH. GOD WILLING!
