the mother

She was here in KL last week, looked fine except for feeling tired sometimes. I guess that’s normal for old people like my mother. She’s 68. haaa?? She’s 68? Cam tak caya je umur mak aku dah 68. sometimes I didn’t realized she’s reaching 70 already. Al-hamdulillah, she’s still healthy. Despite her kidney failure, 4-times-a-day-dialysis-treatment, she’s still can cook for us, for her 7 kids yang dah besar panjang (bestnyer bab makan2 ni).

Today, she’s in hospital. All I can explain is infection. Not really familiar with the medical term, dunno how to say, how to explain. Well, let’s learn some medical story today.

We knew she had kidney failure 9 years ago. I was in final year mmu. I remember she was so skinny and looked so different. Like someone else, totally different. n I can still remember when we were at the hospital, waiting for the result. I stared at her face, n said to myself, ‘kesiannyer mak aku ni..banyak betul penyakit dier..

To be continued…

I spent my last 5 days in the hospital sultanah nur zahirah, kuala terengganu. Arrived there Saturday morning at 3.30am. took a nap, and visit my mother at 7am.

Number 1, I had to extend my stay at the hospital.
Let go my car to my sister and nephew for them to drive back to kl (with a full tank of fuel!)
Cancel my firefly ticket (not refundable)
Took 3 days emergency leave

In return, i got business class mas ticket to kl (with my mother) and spent time with her in the ambulance. Huhu. The best part was to see her smiling in the aircraft. Dat was her first time in business class. Owh, she liked the comfortable chair (ya la..compared to economy) and she gave big smile when the stewardess passed her the face towel. Ahahha..so cute..but I know, deep inside, she was fighting with the pain, with the tiredness. Semoga Allah cepat sembuhkan penyakit mu..Amin..
