family emergency

hi,
i know that i've been sometime since my last entry but its all not entirely on purpose...mmmmi think this entry would falls under health...mmm~ anyway this is my story...

i think its about 2 weeks ago when my aunt approached my mom asking if she is interested in trying a traditional Chinese medication etc...my mom's medical history is that she had her gallbladder (is that how you spell it?) removed sometime ago and ever since she's been having stomach ache...(more of a discomfort ache rather pain) almost on regular basis. she is also diabetic and her diabetic medicine didn't help much either it somehow caused her to bloat and fart alot so in addition to that she also have joints pain particularly at her shoulder and knee area which caused her to have difficulties to raise her arm and squat...so in other words she's been suffering al these while in silence. the joints pains, she had that for awhile now and it never went away.

don't get me wrong but she did all sorts of medical examination and results are 'healthy' they can't seem to find the cause of her pain or illness. but for her knee problem they later found out that is was due to her lack of lubricant in her cartiladge (is that how you spell it?..boy do i suck at spelling) causing abrasions to her bone and ultimately pain. solution is that she will need lubricant shots every 2-3months i think but the wierd thing is that if she went to a massage sessions she'll be able to fold her legs fine with zero pain! but that will only last for a day and sometimes less.

coming back to the chinese medicine thingie...my aunt became this chinese doctor assistant so she was hard selling my mom about it and claimed that many people was cured inclusive those with HIV, high blood, diabetics etc...so we thought we'd try it.

so there was accupunchure, bekam (method to suck out dirty blood and unwanted air in the body) and some massage then the 'doctor' will prescribe his herbal medicine.

to be honest my mom didn't really believe in alternative medicine but my dad persuade her to try anyway. after being examed she was diagnose with a possible breast cancer!

the news brought shock to all of us and it kinda make sense too coz my mom's arm can't move freely and so on plus there was a slight lump. he claimed that this is in its early stage and its easy to miss.

so does that mean my mom really DO have breast cancer? i don't know...but the 'doctor' precribe her some herbal medicine which she took for a week and then what happen was that her joints are swollen and she looked swollen? i don't know how to describe her but my neighbor said that its a possible poisoning my mom went to the most exclusive hospital in KL, Prince Court Hospital and get a thorough check up again...so now we are still waiting for her result and still doing some test...

so this is why i was not blogging, i was busy taking care of my mom. but i did some investigating on bobby brown make ups and outlet and their promoter/makeup artist so stay tuned....
