Yesterday was a frightening day for me though. I was rushed to SGH's Accident and Emergency Dept at night. I suddenly had difficulty breathing and I could not feel any pulse rate that instant. When I reached SGH, I prayed so hard that nothing would go wrong. On the way in the taxi, Mum tried comforting me in many ways she could. Though I knew she was worried sick too. I myself couldn't believe it too. As she related to me, tears trickled down my cheeks. I only controlled myself from a breakdown. First, Dad left us early last year. Now, this. I prayed that nothing would go wrong in A&E. I could not suffer any more setbacks. I really could not take it anymore. Also, I could not bear to let those around me suffer and worry about me anymore.

We were utterly surprised that the doctor on duty was Mum's cousin. It came as a shock too ya. An ECG and Radiology was immediately conducted. When I was called in to view the results again, I wasn't even prepared for the worst. Luckily, both reports showed good results and a referral was given by him to the ENT dept. At that point, I was elated with joy. Next was suspected sighness.

This morning, we went to a reknowned chinese doctor in Chinatown. Have to take his medication for a week and see if there's any improvement. If not, would have to go to ENT for 2nd radiology and laproscopy.

Sometimes, or in fact most of the time, I feel that I am the luckiest person on earth to have so many people caring for me and my family. Now, as I pen my thoughts, I could not help but control my tears...
