Brother in Hospital
Last Sunday, my mum told me that my eldest brother was admitted to the hospital and it was not clear the reasons and his conditions were. My mum was in Penang for a family reunion and my sister in law (SIL), phoned her to tell the news and that she was crying.
My brother for the past years have been treated for high blood pressure and then followed by failing kidney(s) and weak heart. My brother was in and out of the hospital BUT the thing is HE NEVER MADE A FOLLOW UP AND TAKING HIS MEDICINES. At one time, he went to Seremban Hospital instead of Putrajaya Hospital because he does not want to be "scolded" by the Putrajaya Hospital's doctor for not taking his medicines and follow-up session.
Even recently, Seremban Hospital called me to persuade my brother to come and do his follow-ups.
So for me, if not the rest of the family members it is like, OK again (while rolling my eyes). My mum asked me to call my SIL and visit. So I called and SIL told me that he had a stroke and arteries in brain burst/exploded (direct translation). Ok this is serious!
Followed by a Whatsapp Family Group, SIL inform that she cannot think straight and wants any of the family to be there to listen the doctor's explanation. So, beside myself, my two brothers drove all the way to Putrajaya.
The doctor explained. Analogy is this... if 100 is high risk, my brother condition is 200, extreme high risk. The blood clot in his brains is as big as an apple, and it is smashing the brain, unless part of his skull is taken off. coupled to this, high blood pressure, weak heart and failing kidney(s), the surgeon does not want to perform an operation.
So for the past 2 days, the hospital was my home. He is now less critical but yes, still in the ICU, Intensive Care Unit.
Can I ask where the dudes in Putrajaya, it seems the nearest to me is around 5-6miles according to Grindr.
