Fragile Life
A friend whom I have not seen for quite a while rang and spoke of her recent ordeal with a mini stroke and the discovery of her throat tumour; it made me realised that life is so fragile.
This friend of mine has everything,a loving husband, money..lots of it, nice house, new car,a job she loved...few years ago she was diagnosed with thyroid cancer, was treated and "fully" recovered. Life seems so good, parties continued...
Last week she was driving, had a mini stroke and rammed into another car,went through temporary amnesia ;this experience totally shattered her. The specialist discovered that she has two massive blood vessels in the brain that is leaking, thus the stroke and the amnesia. To make things worse, she experienced "choking" feeling and the doctor discovered that the tumours in the throat has returned and is pressing on her vocal cord, luckily these are not cancerous.
I feel very sad, with my own father's condition and my friend's recent experience, I am totally exhausted, emotionally and physically. Why is life so fragile???
