What's The Story Morning Glory?


I've been away for a couple of days in Ipoh. Let me bring you up to date. My uncle (dad's cousin) passed away a few hours after New Year's. Apparently, he was drunk, crashed his motorbike into one of those huge drains, cracked his skull on the cement wall and was found by someone that passed by. We went for the wake yesterday (which btw is a Buddhist prayer thing held at night if you didn't happen to know.) My grandad is in the hospital recovering from surgery on his head to drain out some fluid from his brain after a nasty fall in his bathroom. He had to go for an MRI to check what was up there and what we found was that he has a 1inchx1inchx1inch tumor right smack in the middle. So, right now we've got three choices; leave him be to see if the lump grows, put something into his head to test if the lump is cancerous or go for a full surgery to completely remove the lump. Why don't we just remove the bloody thing? That's cause he's not a young man anymore. He's pushing 70, his body might not be able to take a big surgery like that and the lump is dangerously close to his nervous system which could possibly turn him into a vegetable if something were to go wrong. If we just leave him as he is his verbal and physical movement will be messed up cause the lump is pushing against a part of his brain. Right now he's living off a drip cause he hasn't been eating (or bathing) for the past 6 weeks or so and his body is as if he has suffered from famine.


Of course not forgetting to mention,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JARYN :)

PS: School starts tomorrow. Finally!
