Today is suppose to be the Winter Solstice, and for people of Chinese ancestry, this is an important day, like first day of CNY, and is celebrated throughout places where Chinese culture is being practiced.
Today was quite a busy day, and in the afternoon, I got a call from my childhood friend, asking me to bring him to hospital. And I went to fetch him and we went to a hospital in Penang. The hospital was asking a lot of questions about referral letter, about specialist or emergency doctor, etc.
But that is not my key discussion point here tonite.
My main concern is seeing my childhood friend's health deteriorating, daily, starting with diabetes, then kidney problem, hemodialysis, lung infection and then Stomach ulcer problem, and his body size becoming half of what it used to be, just like human skeleton body structure. It pains me to see this, and I was informed by his younger brother that he fainted 3 times, yesterday till afternoon today.
I am not sure what I can help further, only providing emotional support and when he needs me to fetch him to hospital or take him back home, or make some simple meals for him when I have the time or back in the same hometown of ours, then I shall try to cook something for him.
Which makes me to think, health is actually number 1 importance, and health is something that we always take granted for, thinking that it belongs to us, and will always remain healthy, despite us hurting our body everyday by taking all sorts of food without letting it to rest or recover, until it becomes too late for any help to be effective anymore.
I hope I can help further....let me think about it.
