Hi there. Its me again, this time still blogging from the international lounge of the private hospital. Syukur alhamdulillah. Yesterday I went through a successful procedure, lapcoly, to remove my stoned gallblader. I am now recuperating and doing fine in the hospital. Would be discharged in a day or two.
My earlier composition about hospital experience, if you realized, ended abruptly. I was blogging then, to kill my time when the nurse called me back to the ward for a discussion with the surgeon. Hence the abrupt end.
The fact that you guys out there are now reading my part ii, it simply prove that I survived the surgery, very much alive and still kicking!
Honestly, this admission to the hospital and all the processes and procedures that I went through, gave me lessons about life. I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to my wife, children, friends, subordiates, peers, bosses, neighbours and all who had given me their strong support. Their doa and payers give me the determination and strenght.
To Ustaz FM, million thanks for the endless tazkirah that I got every time you drop by. May Allah bless you. As I said there were so much that I learnt from this episode of life. Among others, if not all:
1) Allah is the most mercyful, loving and caring. The root cause of my sickness was detected at earlier stage. In fact, very early. It could have been worst if gone undetected
2) All this happening, is actually a blessing from Allah SWT. He gave me the opportunity to recall and refresh about life. The Hikmah that He gave, to me, through this incident is taken positively.
3)As what ustaz FM said, the happening reflects Allah love us and through this incident it open up my mind to ponder about my health, my work life balance etc
4) True to the saying, please treasure health. Senang sebelum sakit, said Raihan. After going through this, I could really internalize the deep meaning of the saying.
5) It is extremely important to show concern and pay visit to some one not well. I had the bad habit of delaying the visits, under the excuse that I am always busy.Having gone through a hospital life, I could not say in words how boring it was. Bed ridden, immobilised due to the drips into the veins, disturbances from nurses who keep checking my temp and BP despite me being normal, seeing the hospital staff leaving home after office are all part of the invaluable experience. I promise, whenever there is any one who is sick after this I will make sure I will pay them a visit. The 3 star hotel like room could not take away the loneliness from me
6) From, the window, I could see my office and I just couldnt not stand the urge to get back to work. I missed the office environment, my peers, bosses and subordinates
7) It also reminded me how strong is, the love of my other half to me. She endlessly keep me accompanied at the hospital . So are my kids, who visited me every day and even blogged out in their blogs about my admission.
All in all, I am grateful to Allah that I am now coming to the end of this episode . Syukur alhamdulillah all went perfectly all right yesterday. I was put to sleep for three hours plus, only to wake up at 5, drowsy and sleepy, only to know that the gall stones were nicely packed for me and my gall bladder was gone.
It was an experience. To Allah, to you I surrender my soul and to you I seek forgiveness.
InsyaAllah, I shall be a better person, hereafter. Amin

What an experience!
Today, I am blogging from the international lounge of one of the private hospital! Was admitted here, last week, discharged over the week end, readmitted again this week for the surgery and to be discharged today, without the surgery!
Sound weird? Not really. Last week after many series of different test, I was diagnosed with galstone and the physician recommended for the gallbladder surgery as the means of treatment. Friends, relatives and subordinates suggested alternative treatment without surgery. Came in test week for the said surgery but one of the presurgery procedure, known as ERCP was done without success. The after effect was unbearable and the whole week of this hospital stay was only to treat the after effect! Surgery postponed to 22nd June!
This is my first ever hospital experience. Never been admitted before. On the first week stream of visitors flow in. There were time when I was drowsy on medication and couldnt recalled who they are!
