Another Long Weekend

2 long weekends consecutively...... how I hope it's like this every week! Ha..

Another matter worths thanking - mum's alright. She's been complaining about having headache and sleepless nights since last year. But in the recent couple of months she even said she been having unbearable headache every day. So intense that she'd wake up from her sleep just before dawn for the last 2-3 weeks. She couldn't really sleep plus the intolerable headache, it doesn't take much to think about the misery she's going through. Late Feb some signs began to surfaced & we guessed that those were the adverse effects of the red pill she been taking for about half a year. I googled & in fact, a whole long list of side effects was showed on screen! Hence mum went back to the doc who, didn't seem shock, just had her medicine changed. But hubby & I were still full of doubts... is he trying to treat mum as a lab rat???

Mum has stopped her medication for about a month after much nagging from us. Her insomnia & other side effects didn't cease. She switched to TCM but didn't seem to help. So last week hubby & I decided to bring her to the one I go to. It's ex & we always have to wait for a long time but as long as it's helpful.

Her health problems have caused me lots of stress & worries.. especially when she started to suspect she's problems with her brain. I'd been telling her there's nothing to worry about as it's mainly the side effects of her past medication... so just needed to keep a relaxing mind & try to recuperate through the TCM she been taking. But of course, she's the one who's suffering the pain, it's easier for me to say. Then on Thurs she decided to see doc who later called & informed me she's sending her to the nearest A&E, which was the new hospital, Khoo Teck Puat Hospital. For a moment, I did feel a lil guilty for taking mum's health issue too lightly.

As I couldn't leave office early, hubby rushed to hospital to take care of the registration & all. And mum had to be admitted to do CT scan, blood & urine tests. Thank God that all the results came out as normal. It's a big relief. They said she's having tension headache (ok that's when they couldn't find the cause...)

The next day, hubby & I took afternoon leave to bring mum home. After that, we went for very late lunch & then made a trip to Orchard for me to do pedi. We really needed a break :)

Thank God that I've such an supportive hubby.... I know I sound useless but I can't imagine handling mum's all alone. He's as concerned about mum as I am.... and our weekends were spent bringing her to the docs/TCMs & moving around to acquire all possible solutions in the hope of helping mum to sleep better & ease her pain.

God is really good to me:)
