illness

Today wasn't a very particularly wonderful day.

For the past week, my dad has been very ill. With fever and cough, and he was very weak. I know why he's weak, because for the past 30 years he has been smoking. And 3 weeks ago, he stopped. Cold turkey. Obviously a person will suffer from withdrawal symptoms by just stopping to smoke after 30 years of doing it.

Yesterday he went to the polyclinic to get an x-ray and normally you would see 2 lungs but the x-ray showed 1 full lung and another half. He was admitted into hospital today at 12pm+. Later in the day, my mum told me he was in the isolation ward or something. Then he had water in his lung (thus the half-lung x-ray shot) and doctor suspects he has tuberculosis OR pneumonia. Sigh, damn sad. He has to stay in the hospital for 2-3 days if his blood test turns out good, a week if it isn't that good. But I'll pray hard so he would get well fast. I think he's okay, he said so himself. Heh, after extracting water can still pick upmy call.

Read up more on TB, and when I saw "... & deadly disease" I was like dumbfounded. But read up on more and it can be cure with utilising the DOTS programme or something. Haiz, now no mood to do anything already. I'm too busy this month to have this on my mind. Exchange @ Whitley and maybe I'll go visit my dad tomorrow. Sunday I've to go to ACJC's MUSE.

I dunno how to react to this. Should I be damn depressed or should I stay optimistic. Because this is the first time a person in my immediate family has been admitted into hospital so I dunno if I should be worried about it.

stay optimistic and hope for the best, I guess.

edit 1.43am (31 March)
dont feel like sleeping, not because I'm worried. Well, maybe partly but Hafiz's dad went through the exact same thing. Go to his blog, click on September. So got a little closure from what he told me. I called him just now and he say he damn sad. You know why? Because no tv. I was "-_-". Ya because after work he always watch tv. He doesn't have any reading materials. Yea uber boring.

So tomorrow (technically later) exchange with Whitley. Report at 7.45am, but made a promise to ZH reach earlier so can run thru the tuba part with him. So I'm doing the favour Mr. Sukit asked me to do. AND finally can use Finale! The disc cant be installed on my computer but installs damn fast on my mum's laptop. Heh, March "Imperial" damn boring to write out parts for.

okay edit done
