Life is unpredictable

My grandma was attacked with stroke 2 weeks ago. It happened so sudden and without any sign. At first doctor said there was a blockage on her left brain and thus caused her right part of the body almost paralyze. Monday we sent her to JB for second opinion from a neuro physician. This doctor told us from a clearer CT scan showed that actually it was a major stroke. Grandma is 89 years old and what we can do now is to give her physiotherapy. Hopefully she will get well soon.

Another case whereby a 18 years old young girl was hit by car while riding motorcycle on her way to buy her grandparents lunch. This girl died after 4 days in ICU. Her last wish was to donate all the organs. Unfortunately only her bone, skin and cornea can be used, the inner organs are not in good condition to donate due to low blood pressure. It shows that even one has signed up the organ donation  card, it doesn't mean that all can be used. I truely admire and respect this young girl who not only has such big heart but also decided to cremate her body and throw ashes into sea.


A tribute to all generous organ donors.
