My "Ah Na" and "Stroke"~

I would like to share one of my most difficult time that happen to me, which involves my "Ah Na", which means grandmother in Shang Hai language, and a decease call "Stroke".

Well... this happen around 5 months ago, which i just finished my Year 2 Semester 3 final exam, and me and my frens were planning to go some places to celebrate the semester break holiday. During around midnight, suddenly, my phone rang... and it's my dad, at that time, i was wondering that is my dad call me because need help on his business and work part-time with him, but it is not.

Dad: Mun?
Me: Yes dad, what's up?
Dad: "Ah Na" fainted.
Me: What?! What happen? Call the ambulance already?
Dad: We called, and now "Ah Na" is hospitalized.
Me: What happen?
Dad: Doctor says that "Ah Na" had a stroke...
Me: ..............
Dad: Can you back hurry?
Me: OK dad, tomorrow morning i'll be straight going to the hospital...

After the phone, i didn't sleep for the whole night, watching movies so that i won't think nonsense things. Once morning, i packed up some clothes, and drive my car rushes to the hospital. But, i reached the hospital too early, the visiting hours is still 3 hours away, and i just sat on a sofa there and wait for the time, at that time, i though a lot of question...

Will i able to eat her lovely dish again?
Will i able to jokes with her again?
Will i able to make her angry again?
Will i able to travel with her again?
Will i able to have dinner with her again?
.........
Will i able to see her again.....

After waiting for 2 hours, my 4th uncle arrived and we went up together although still not the time, just told the security that we were in emergency and we went up to the building.

Although its only several floors, it take a long time in my mind to reach it. Once reached, i walk with my cold legs along the corridor and towards the bed.First, i saw my aunt and my mom beside a bed and then i saw "Ah Na" lying emotionless on the bed. I didn't cry at the time, because i was too terrified and donno what to do. I ask my mom how is she, and when asking, i saw my mom's eyes already turned red, i knew that she's been crying for a long time. My mom says that "Ah Na" still not awake and doctors are coming to check later. Me and my uncle just standing there watching her.

Next day, in the afternoon, all family members arrived the hospital, to had a meeting with the doctor. The doctor says that from the X-ray report that they scanned yesterday, the damage to the brain is too destructive, and he said a sentence that we all stunned.

"We believed that she may not last for 3 days..."

We were all silenced, and my 2nd Uncle try to know why is he saying like that, and then he had some argue with the doctor. Myself... went to a resting room... just sit there doing nothing. Then, came in my "Lothia" (grandfather in shang hai language), he sat beside me, and started to drop tears... at that time, i can't hold my tears anymore, use my hand cover my eyes and secretly drop my tears with him.

Just before evening, we were trying to find a best place for "Ah Na" to rest rather than a Government Hospital. So, the whole family was searching a nice hospital with more good facilities. After a while, we found a hospital in Bangsar that had a vacancy. So, we called an ambulance and transfer "Ah Na" to there. I was on the ambulance alone with "Ah Na", watching her along the way because i scare i can't see her anymore longer than this...

After arriving to the Bangsar Pantai Hospital, and the doctor just need to do a routine check on "Ah Na" because it is a procedure. So, we waited outside and registering a room for her. Some of us went to have something to eat and drink, and at the time, i realized i didn't drink and eat for around 12 hours....

Waited for 2 hours, and a nurse lead us to a meeting room, and a doctor comes in explaining the condition of my "Ah Na". He said that what the doctor in the Government Hospital say just now was nonsense, "Ah Na" still have a chance. We were in shock. The Doctor says that they need to do a small surgery to release the stress on the brain by sucking the liquid thingy in the brain that been pressuring in "Ah Na" 's brain. Hell... we donno what the heck is he saying... Just safe "Ah Na" then it's fine for us... It was a miracle...

But after the surgery, we need to lend a machine call "Ventilizer" to help "Ah Na" to breath, and it cost about RM3000 per day!! but we didn't think long for it, because "Ah Na" is very important for the whole family. So, after the surgery, "Ah Na" had taken into ICU (Intensive Care Unit) to check on her progression. It was already past midnight, and we told "Lothia" to go home and get some sleep, and i was "ordered" to take him home. (Actually, i was already willing wanted to accompany him >_<)

"Ah Na" and "Lothia"

From that day, i accompany my "Lothia", drive him to the hospital everyday and every night, have all the meals with him, sleep with him (same house la...not same room =p) and go anywhere that he want to go... although sometime at midnight i secretly sneak out to cybercafes to relax a while hehe...

The Chair that "Ah Na" use to sit

But i know, deep down inside the heart, the most saddest person during the incident was "Lothia", i knew that he had been crying in the room before sleep.. i know how he felt, sleeping on the bed, while there is a missing person beside him, the person that accompanied him on the bed for almost 50 years. It is a very difficult thing for him to overcome....

"Lothia" letting "Ah Na" hear some songs

It had been 12 days "Ah Na" went into ICU, and in these 12 days, one of it was "Ah Na" ' s birthday. A birthday should be a happy and enjoyable for the birthday person, but not for "Ah Na" this year, we were told that we can't have a celebrate inside the ICU, even while for a short time. So, the whole family just had some nice food to eat, and "Lothia" was ask to blow the candle on behalf of "Ah Na". But, it still not enjoyable enough without the actual person...

Everybody Works Together

So, "Ah Na" had been gained consciousness and recovering well but have a little fever and phlegm (痰， i know the English name for it during that time). So, she transfered to ward and rest. After another week, she was released from hospital.

The cost of the whole hospitalized progress had up to around RM60,000. That's a very very expensive price, and we didn't bought any insurance for the grandparents because the insurance installment fee for the older people is too high. Although the RM60,000 is a large amount of money, but it worth it. It brings the whole family together and work together, to help saving "Ah Na" 's life. Through out the whole progress, i've learned many things: -

• Be with your family with lots more time because you donno when they will suddenly "gone"

• Buy insurance for your family in order to protect them

• Do not trust 100% on Government Hospital although it's cheap

• Health is important, so exercise more and eat more healthy food

• lastly, Family is important
  

But, i still seldom back home accompany my family and visit my "Ah Na", because of my assignments and examination. Sorry "Ah Na", "Lothia", Mom and Dad!!! I'll be home soon!!! >_<

man... i've cry writing this post...

"Ah Na" and "Lothia" Hands

But, i still love my family....
