Today my sister in law undergoes surgery in Melbourne and today is also my friend's second day of chemotherapy in Pantai hospital. I said a slilent prayer for both and I am hopeful that both will recover fully and will be on their feet again soon.
This reminds me of my health experience 8 years ago when I broke my left kneecap due to a bad fall. I had to undergo surgery and was even in ICU for a night. After that I was not able to stand on my left leg at all for about 3 months and only managed to stand on crutches after 6 months. I was infact wheel chair bound for 6 months and only walked normally after a year. That was a most distressing time for me. In fact when I first came back from hospital I thought I will never be able to walk again. I still remember I had to make a big effort to psyche myself to prevent myself from falling into a depression.
Health is the soul that animates all the enjoyments of life, which fade and are tasteless without it. ~ William Temple, Sr
