Body that dies

My father has come out of his “shell'"  :). Tak bentah duduk duduk doing nothing or melanguk dekat rumah one whole day.



He got  minor stroke last month. Admitted to the hospital for 3 days and bedridden at home for another few days before he decided he had enough. Though his vision and balance are still not steady, he is determined to put his act together and live normally. 

We seek traditional tukang urut and now after a few treatment, he is healthy and energetic as before. He does not need my help to drive him anywhere, anymore. I think he has to get rid of my help fast enough because he is reluctant to 'drag'me along when he wants to go dating heheh :). I am an excess baggage :D

      sementara tunggu Atuk urut, Qayyum da bedal semua coffee yang bini tukang urut buat

tersenyum puas lepas bedal 3 cawan kopi kampung :)

A little bit about "stroke".
The blockage of an artery in the brain by a clot (thrombosis) is the most common cause of a stroke. The part of the brain that is supplied by the clotted blood vessel is then deprived of blood and oxygen. As a result of the deprived blood and oxygen, the cells of that part of the brain die. From here

 
Risk factors for stroke include advanced age, hypertension (high blood pressure), previous stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA), diabetes, high cholesterol, cigarette smoking and atrial fibrillation.[4] High blood pressure is the most important modifiable risk factor of stroke more here

So I guess, sebab tula treatment mengurut yang betul boleh buat orang recover - macam  my dad kena tahun 1994 - sebab mengurut dapat betul kan pengaliran darah. But tak semua tukang urut pandai esp nowadays, ramai tukang urut tak pandai but nak duit ja.

Do you know, that there is no cure for stroke? If you got one, it will be lucky if you can recover. My dad has quite a severe attack in 1994 where half of his body was ‘dead’. He was hospitalized also back then but there was nothing that modern medicine could/can do. Any treatment is about preventing another future stroke and not about treating the current one.

ps:
come to think of it, not only Aids with no cure, many other diseases as well, high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer (u need to remove the cancer not cure it) and all. Ubat cuma untuk control but not for cure. And of course mencegah lebih baik dari mengubat - so live healthily (termasuk la tukang tulis post ni :D, yang cuma pandai menulis :))
