My dad almost went to the heavenly gates on Feb 2022. Septic shock to his organs. Very terrifying and horrendous ordeal we had to go through. But it is also because of that that the doctors did a full body scan of his torso to check for organ damage and discovered he was very near to having a serious heart attack. Immediately arranged to undergo heart bypass.

Without this horrible experience, we won't have found out about the heart issue and he would have collapsed at home or on the streets with a major heart attack.

2022 was a nightmare to go through that I do not wish on anyone. I am not happy, but I am very thankful that my dad managed to survive through that and still able to be with me.

I am very grateful when I wake up and see him at his corner drinking coffee eating biscuit.

started baking cakes and enjoying it more than I thought I would! :s13:
plus it's cheaper and tastier than buying from outside.

made a little extra money... not a lot still but better than zero.
health maintained - previous potential issue very likely due to machine fault... :rolleyes:

small victories to keep you going.

Blessing in disguise comes in the form of

- 2 weeks of hospitalisation
- a uterine tube from the kidney to a urine bag for a month till the operation to repair the kidney
- having to myself personally clean the tubing site and change urine bag weekly
- having him to endure rotting / itchy flesh on the site due to keep using medical tape to tape the bag and moisture
- seeing his flesh become nua and having bubbles and blisters, being itchy yet cannot scratch, and there is nothing I can help with other than let him "air" his skin more and put medical powder that doesn't really work.
- numerous medical appointments to check on different organs of his body.

All these to prevent him dying for a heart attack, then yes it's a blessing in disguise I suppose.

Things got better after his kidney surgery. He managed to recover with no lasting serious side effects. But a lot of medical appointments for monitoring.

Part of his heart "died". But doc said the rest of the live heart muscle can be slowly trained to be stronger to cover the job of the dead muscle.
