Further episod..JULY PHOBIA

I do not consider myself a superstitious person. Neither am I very learned. Somehow, when reminiscing events/situations that had happened in the month of July are somewhat mostly downtrend. Like the plotted graph..the lowest point of the 12 months will always point to JULY.
All these that had happened may not necessarily be because of me, it is none of my undertakings, not my faults too. Nevertheless,these evolving the people I cared and concerned about and I could not help feeling a bit overzealous...

My eldest sister had been diagnosed with Parkinson disease. (Parkinson's disease is a degenerative disorder of the central nervous system that often impairs the sufferer's motor skills and speech, as well as other functions.) There were slight tremors with both her hands and legs. She had it under control with the help of prescribed medicines by her doctor. Even at age 66, She still managed to be employed on part time basis. However, earlier this month of JULY, she finally lost her job.....

Next, a series of sickness.. one after another falling sick. The bad virus had attacked us in our family one by one. Sore throat, flu coupled with cough and then high fever. The most serious one of all is my youngest son. Suffering from severe headache, painful sore throat,chilly spell and fever. He had not been able to attend school for the whole week. 2 trips to the doctor and was told that he is suffering tonsile. Symptoms of tonsillitis include a severe sore throat (which may be experienced as referred pain to the ears), painful/difficult swallowing, headache, fever and chills, and change in voice causing a "hot potato" voice. Tonsillitis is characterized by signs of red, swollen tonsils which may have a coating of white patches (i.e. pus). In severe cases, surgery may be recommended.
A even stronger type of antibiotics is then prescribed. I am in a dilemma whether to admit him to the hospital for further observation...I was the next victim..sore throat, headache, fever and chilly spells...Hm..... whats happening?? I was trying hard not to be infected. Somehow couldn't escape or is it plain experiencing the domino effects?? Or maybe blame it to JULY??A large sum of money is channeled out just on the family's medical bills in JULY.

While I am in the midst of wondering when it will end...my 2nd son told me his piece of bad news regarding his break off with his girl friend. Nevertheless, I am not too concerned over youngsters : break off or patched up in their relationship, which some people might regard it with the saying that it is like changing of pictures or clothes. Chinese used to say, "If you keep the mountain, there will be trees/woods available for fire" Comparing themselves as the mountain and the other genders are the woods/trees. I am not against them knowing members of the opposite sex, but do not agree to single out or to become 'steady boyfriend or girlfriend' at this young teenage age. I just feel that these youngsters today needed to be a bit more stable both emotionally, financially first. Building a stronger foundation within yourself academically is the more important factor that getting involved with relationship. When they are matured enough, able to understand the consequences of their undertakings, there will be so many opportunities out there.. and no need to be in a hurry to settle down with just one (not at this young age where both are still pursuing higher education.) Having said that, I reckon that this is part of growing up...a journey with choices to be made along the way...Too bad this happened in the month of JULY..

My sister-in-law had been trying to conceive to add just one more member (preferably daughter) since her son will be turning 6 years old come this August. So when the news of she was confirmed pregnant, everyone was glad and happy for her. However, this joy is short lived...during her second routine visit to her doctor, the ultra sound scan shows that there wasn't any heartbeat detected. This means to say that the fetus had failed to grow normally and not any bigger in size. This is the most devastating piece of news in again..JULY??

Tomorrow, it will be AUGUST..really looking forward to brand new month..and hopefully after the storms there will be silver lining...

Have some laughs....

The most beautiful dance!! She without arm, he without leg - ballet - Hand in Hand

Hi Everyone,
Take a look at the link after you read the following story.
Just got this today and think it is astounding.

A Chinese modern dance competition on TV. One very unique couple won one of the top prizes. The lady, in her 30's, was a dancer who had trained since she was a little girl. Later in life, she lost her entire left arm in an accident and fell into a state of depression for a few years. Someone then asked her to coach a children's dancing group. From that point on, she realized th at she could not forget dancing. She still loved to dance and wanted to dance again. So, she started to do some of her old routines, but, having lost her arm, she had also lost her ! balance. It took a while before she could even make simple turns and spins without falling.

Then she heard of a man in his 20s who had lost a leg in an accident. He had also fallen into the usual denial, depression and anger type of emotional roller coaster. But, she determined to find him (seemingly he was from a different Province) and persuade him to dance with her. He had never danced, and to 'dance with one leg...are you joking with me? No way!' But, she didn't give up, and he reluctantly agreed thinking, 'I have nothing else to do anyway.'

She started to teach him dancing 101. The two broke up a few times because he had no concept of using muscle, how to control his body, and knew none of the basic things about dancing. When she became frustrated and lost patience with him, he would walk out. Eventually, they came back together and started training seriously. They hired a choreographer to design routines for them. She would fly high (held by him) with both arms (a sleeve for an arm) flying in the air. He could bend horizontally supported by one leg with her leaning on him, etc. In the competition, as you will see, they dance beautifully and they legitimately won the competition. Ingenius how they incorporate the crutch into the routine!

I would like to share with you the most magnificent and touching performance I have ever seen. It is living proof that strong human spirit can conquer any physical limitations!

Simply fasinating magic.... must see

Whose wife is this?

It had been some time now ever since my dear father-in-law had a fall and hurt his head . The interesting part is he could not remember where or how he fell. He even denied he had a fall!! However, the deep gash on his forehead had proved otherwise. We gathered that he might had knocked his head on the wall near the toilet. Proof of some blood stains on the wall and on the floor from his bed leading to the toilet. He was a very lucky man..not experiencing any pain..even with this nasty fall which required some stitches near his eyes on his forehead. We were puzzled with this and even more shocked to be told by the doctors that he was actually blinded in one eye. His nerve around the eyes are not working.. This answered the question of why he does not feel any pain on the injured part of his head. This is not because of his fall but his one eye is of no use quite a while ago!!

Recalling back, those days, he used to wash his eyes with chrysanthemum water. When asked he would say it would keep his eyesight better. Never did he ever said anything about not being able to see..He did not know it too, that all this while he is just a 'one eye jack'.

He was already experiencing poor memories prior to his fall. It is common amongst seniors/elderly as age is catching up. Nevertheless, this fall aggreviate his senile condition and he is having Alzheimer's disease.

Alzheimer's disease.. Generally, the symptoms is when memory loss becomes apparent. If Alzheimer's is suspected as the cause, the physician or healthcare specialist will confirm the diagnosis with behavioral assessment. Anyway,we do not need any specialist to tell us this. Why?? Because he had been very forgetful..so forgetful that when my youngest son asked him about his wife's name. He gave a us a shocking unheard name of someone.. Even when we told him what the actual correct name of his wife is,he still maintained he is right. Where on earth is this wife of his, whose name sounded so alien to us?? He could not even remember his own one and only wife of over the few decades of married lives together?? Think how deadly is this so called Alzheimer's disease can do to your mind!!

Not Eating

My dear father-in-law used to be a extremely choosy eater..with special craving for all those deep fried stuffs. Prawns and crabs are his favorites. He does not care much rather he is ignorant whats not all those high calories, high protein, high sugars etc, etc. So long as he likes it, he will eat his heart out on that particular food. He has good set of teeth and admirably strong enough not only to tackle all those big, hard chunky shell.. and also tiny little groundnuts which he likes to munch on too. He has a taste bud of extreme..very salty and also very sweet!

Those days, he had good appetite and can eat a lot..2 big bowl of rice. At home, he could finished 1 bowl of rice and stop then had another bowl of rice with an interval some 30 minutes or more in between.Funny way of eating.. probably so doing will not be labeled as a 'great' eater?
Munching tit bits while watching television..every now and then..Hardly ever see his mouth at rest..while sitting on his favorite rocking chair. Every weekend, while doing our marketing, we used to buy tit-bits, biscuits, groundnuts, etc. etc. and stored into air-tight tins. Then he could just take/eat whatever and whenever he likes.
However lately, he had not been eating well...Eating very little. It had been a tough time getting my dear father-in-law to eat. He had stop his munching tit-bits habits..or he has forgotten?..or he has no appetite?..or he is just plain lazy about eating? Most of his main meals..be it breakfast, lunch, or dinner is only half finished and left to waste. Even to drink water.. he need to be reminded always..It is sometimes really annoying to nag him to finish off his meal/drinks. The rate he is going...instead of dying because of his frail health, he could ended up dying because of starvation and malnutrition.
