Dad's Looking Good

Back in KL today to visit my dad. I went back to Ipoh on Tuesday cos now I have to do the rounds of taking my brother Tristan to school and back. Since he finished early on Fridays so we drove down in the afternoon and went straight to the hospital.

Dad is looking great today. He was sitting in the armchair looking out the window when we arrived. All the tubes except 1 have been removed and he's now mobile. Food intake has been 'upgraded' to 'soft foods' but I don't think he likes it too much. It actually looks like baby food to me.

He showed us his scar from the surgery and it was about a foot wide across his lower abdomen. wow. Very nice and tidily stitched up though. Dad is enthusiastic about getting discharged on Monday, but we'll have to wait and see what the doctor has to say when the time comes. I think he's getting sick of staying in the hospital. Mom says he's always complaining to her. I don't blame him... hospitals are such boring, dreary places.

I was told you had this website Jonathan. You know when it comes to computer, Yee Chim is always blurr, like 'Sotong'. However, it is the best way to get in touch with you! I heard from Sar Yee Po so I decided to try. Wow, this is great! I can do it myself!

Please give our regards to your father and tell him that our thoughts are always with him and praying for his recovery..........not forgetting your mother too! And also Colin and Tristan. Am glad that you are able to help around.

So by the time you receive this mail, your father should be home. We shall call Ah Mah up to find out more.

Love,
Yee Chim
