Sick man of the east -- Part Two

Clement was feeling good and happy in the morning. However, he experienced discomfort again from 4pm onwards. He complained that his head was throbbing, felt a sudden lost of energy and his mood dipped suddenly. Welcome to the PMS experience we girls have to go through every month.

My worried MIL asked the nurse to call for the doctor to check on him. The doctor said that the discomfort will probably come on and off because of the operation. We suspected he watched too much TV and that caused the pain behind his eye sockets. Anyway, the doctor didn't mention about the TV so that was just our wild guesses. The results of the operation and the drainage will be more conclusive tomorrow when he goes for his CT scan at 6am. After popping 2 painkillers, Clement felt better and rested. I left early today as I already had a long and tiring day in school. Every Thursday is a nightmare at work for me.

Many friends came to visit Clement today and some sent their well wishes through fruit baskets and flowers. Once again, thank you very much. Thank you for your concern and your sms-es.

Ahh.. just for the record... we didn't get our COE again for this second bidding. :( And I made the same wrong turn at the same junction although I tried to follow the GPS. Hopeless me.

I was really glad that I plucked up my courage to learn driving 10 years ago. In times like this, being able to drive really makes a lot of difference.

I am managing well because I have a lot of support from family, friends and colleagues. My boss even gave me time off to report to school a little late when I requested to do so yesterday and allowed me to leave early. She told me I just need to tell her if I need time off. I do appreciate such kindness, especially when she and I had some misunderstandings not so long ago.

In situations like this, we can literally feel the warmth of the friendship and kinship. The blood clot thing is not a pleasant thing that is happening to Clement. However, we do believe that all things happen for a good cause. With that faith, we are keeping ourselves in good spirits and are optimistic about Clement's condition.

I will be posting Clement's progress to keep you guys updated and also to document it.

Thank you, our dear friends.
