Hospitalized

It was a fine morning, but the body does not feel good (malaise), having fever, nausea, vomiting, body pain, since the day before, two daughters knowing the condition were worried, so one of them called doctor. Doctor came and draw blood from the body and suspected it was caused by chikungunya virus!

So what is actually chikungunya? visit: http://www.chikungunya.ca/ for the info.

So, at the age of about 92, his first attempt to be hospitalized (he was hesitate to go) but for the sake of healing, he MUST go! Then, he went and was hospitalized in Gleneagle, Ampang (as suggested by one of his son). Many came to visit including his children, grandchildren, great grandchildren (think so).

He didn't realize that it was the first day of Chinese New Year (Cho Yat in Cantonese), and he was hospitalized on the first day. He missed his newspaper and money! (as reported by his daughter, "At one time, his hands were like holding something. Then another time, his hands were like counting money." Then she asked, "Pa, what do you want?", he answered, "Oh, I want to read newspaper.")

Good thing he was discharged yesterday (his was hospitalized for 3 days 2 nights?), Thank God! He is back to his sweet home in Dengkil.   
note: please take care of your love ones, and beware of chikungunya and dengue!
