Thank you
To all who sent your regards and expressed your concerns on my mom’s health, THANK YOU VERY MUCH! She has undergone angioplasty and recovered very quickly, and she looks like a normal person now! Without knowing, you might not know that she has had 2 heart attack last week! LOL!
I am so thankful to God for sparing her life. The 2 heart attacks didn’t kill her, but enough to provide warnings for us to treat her before too late! We are glad that it is not the kind that strike once and take life. Really thank God for that.
I think the doctor that our family doc recommended is good. My mom didn’t feel any discomfort through out the whole angiogram and angioplasty processes. Unlike my mom, all others who have gone through the same, complaint that the process was painful or at least not comfortable.
Well, actually my mom’s case is due to very high level of cholesterol. 8.1 of total cholesterol! The specialist said this kind of level is caused by our gene. When asked, I was shocked to find out the whole family has high level of cholesterol. My grandpa died of heart attack after suffering stroke & paralized for a few year. All my aunties and uncles have cholesterol level of around 7.0. My 6 years younger counsin has over 7 as well and is already under medication.
The specialist advised that my sister and I do some screening as we post high risks too.
Geez! I loved all cholesterol rich foods, and I won’t be surprised I am already over the limit. :p I love nasi lemak, eggs, seafood - particularly mussles and squid! Got to watch out.
BTW, after the long silence last 2 weeks, I am now resume blogging. So, do come back often to check updates ya?! Now I’m off to reply all your comments (sorry for the delay!)
