Selamay Hari Raya
would like to wish all my Muslim friend, Selamat Hari Raya & Maaf Zahir Batin.
I went over to Ipoh last Saturday. An uncle of mine was admited to a Ipoh Hospital with critical condition. As planned earlier, we were suppose to leave KL on Monday instead on Sat. But on Friday nite, my aunt heard from my Mom said, he went serious so we need to go the next day, Saturday.
When we reached on Sat, only to know, he was not that serious yet. He still look healthy, only with few pipes connected to him. My mom got the wrong message from his wife. The sick uncle's wife (my aunt).
How am I connected to this "Uncle"?
He's my "Dad's mom's dad's brother's daughter's adopted daughter's husband".
*hope i got it right*. haha.
Ya, that's how we're connected. This family of his lives in Cameron Highlands all this while .Ya, that's why i used to go Cameron 2 or 3 times a year. This aunt of us know Cameron inside out. She will bring us to tea plantation, strawberry farm, night market, morning market, rose garden & every inch on Cameron la... but this uncle, husband of her rarely we meet. Coz he's a taxi driver. We usually only meet up with this aunt.
She's quite influential up the hill, haha. She works in some pub & have loud noise. Can say all children are just scared of her lo. haha. but she's fun.
Her husband actually kena some cancer, last stage. His 'usus' are all messed-up. All kena ulser. As time past, the ulser pecah & spreading all over his body. He feel the pain for few months already but did not check up. Only about 2 months ago only he came down to Ipoh for a full check up upon an urgent advise from a clinic in Cameron. *there's no specialist in Cameron, they cant treat serious patient up the hill. all major illness are send down to Ipoh*
The doctor did not know much about his usus, he tought it was only some minor ulser & did an operation on him. *to cut out the bad usus & connect it back* Only when he did the operation & open things up, he saw that all his uses kena infected d. He cant move or cut a thing. If he did, it will spread faster.
He quickly close back his open cut & told his family members about it. The doctor said, he cant be cured, no hospital in Malaysia would be able to do anything to it as his usus is all infected.
Till yesterday when we left Ipoh, this uncle of mine still have no idea what happened to his ususes. The family did not told him a-thing yet as they scared he might not-able-to-take-it.
He was well build last time. *He's now much smaller now compared to the last time i saw him, many,many years ago*
Big size, almost like my dad.
Have bad temper.
He's only in his mid 40's. the peak of life
Has 2 sons: 18 & 16 yrs old.
His wife kena chicken pox on Sunday, so she was sent back to Cameron. She was the one who jaga-ed him in hospital all this while. Their elder son also kena now, the younger one in recovery stage now.
From this aunt said: lots of people in Cameron now kena Chicken Pox. it is adviceable not to go up there at the moment. It's spreading up there.
He starts to Question the doctor now & then. Asking, why he's not recovering but felt worse. Kept blaming the doctor & nurses that they weren't good. He request to change to a better hospital. He might be going to University Hospital, KL. The family does not have high hope from his recovery.
I kesian the wife the most. He need to be happy all around him when she knows he's leaving soon. She just blurted all out to us when my mom & aunts were there. Hope she can still catch up with her life. Atleast 2 of their sons are grown up & no longer kids.
His mother just arrived KLIA ystd morning from The States, she was there with this uncle's sibling(s). The mom juga kesian when the family pour the news to her over the phone. She rushed back to see him.
Everything in Ipoh was quite new to me. I never experienced such an encouter before. Old people dieing got le. But knowing an 40+ uncle will be leaving soon, is such a sad story.
They do not know how to break the news to him yet, as i know. If they wait, the cancer cells are moving around his body & destroy other parts. It will kill him slowly & it's a torture for him.
Attacking from the usus, to his stomach, to his bones, to his blood vains & to the rest... etc.
Doctor did suggest to make him sleep to death, so he will not suffer. The family members are still speechless. They cant help him much. It's cancer.
If he were to go for a doctor earlier, he could be heal. But he's so hard on his self, refuse to even see a doctor after a major stomachache. 'he once felt his abdomen drop on his stomach', but he was too stuborn to see a doc. which leads to this.
i will post of pictures of my trip to ipoh soon.
may everyone have good health at all times. see a doc when u're not feeling well.
We do not know if there's anything happening in our body. eg: internal bleeding.
