I am not on the net much these few days and i am really ashamed of myself. I find i need to be at least on the net 5 hours per day doing either work related stuff or research, but due to an uncabled life style i can only give excuses and continue to deny myself of the much undesired 56K connectivity. No i can’t, i have to be strong, i have to overcome these barriers to attain a productive life style. *yawn* i am tired, i wanna go and sleep… i’ll be back…

My Grandpa is back home and on the bed in the living room all the time. Hmm.. how i wish he can be back in the garden doing his gardening or doing anything he used to be doing in the past.

Scope pictures of my Grandpa

The family has decided not to send my Grandpa thru the operation and try chinese medicine while closely monitoring the growth. If the Chinese medicine works great, else he would still have to go thru the operation. Hope the plan works.

I had a chance to speak with the stethoscope man about the condition of my Grandpa and he told me that the growth in his tummy can become cancerous if not taken out. So next week the frail aged man would have to go thru an operation to extract the undesirables. But because of his age and the fact that he has not been very healthy lately, the operation might lead to complications such as heart attacks, kidney failure, bladder problems, etc. This sucks, my Grandpa deserves better.

My Grandpa is in the hospital for quite a few days now. After his mild stroke in 1999, he have been having problems walking and all this while the once healthy and independent man became bed-ridden and treated like a patient who’s diet is very redundantly control by his ever naggy spouse. A recent check showed some growth in his stomach and news like that can never be good. I don’t know of the details, but the thought is enough to send me thinking of what i should do as a grandson, what should i say, what can i do?

My Grandpa is a reserved man, a man with integrity and a person who tries to enjoy the simpler things in life. Although there were times in my childhood where he used to chase my cousins and I with a wet towel and lashing it at us as if we were slaves that did some grave mistake while not knowing what it was, but still, I have great respect for my Grandpa. He is the one person I think I understand best in the family and yet he is also the one I have least dialogues with. All I can ask is for him to stay strong and for God to watch over him.

Tommorow I will be going to visit him in the hospital, hopefully it will not be wierd and that he can feel the love and respect that exists in a non-verbal way.
