Subdural Hematoma

On Tuesday 5.oct.21, we made an appointment with the doctor and was briefed during the appointment that the elderly is walking around the ward independently and can be discharged immediately. Settled the remaining of 11520d75 and all 4 went home in 2 cars.

Copied from above url:

"Possible causes for a subdural hematoma include:

...

 -  Brain shrinking (atrophy). This is more common in older adults.

 -  Medicines to prevent blood clots, such as warfarin, aspirin, and other blood thinners ..."

As the risk of major stroke and heart attack from blood clots is very high, has to take blood thinners so this subdural hematoma can only be monitored since no surgery can be performed due to blood thinners.

This is what life is. Will follow up more in the public hospital where the records are located.

*** Long Forgotten ***

2.56 pm - finally ate all the long forgotten McD Cempedak McFlurry from the freezer bought on Sun 19.sep.21, 16 days ago. Taste quite ok.

*** Late Lunch Dinner ***

2.02 pm - ordered food and drinks from J.S Tasty Restaurant in Happy Garden on the way home from the private hospital.

2.56 pm - I like the fried wantons although they are mainly wanton skins with only a very thin layer of fillings paste to stick the skin together for frying. There are 10 pieces in total and I ate 3 pieces.

5.34 pm - shared this meat meehoon for dinner.

6.18 pm - took out the drink from the freezer when it is on the way to be frozen to make slushy by smashing up the ice with a spoon.

6.19 pm - Passion Fruit Ice Jelly has passion fruit pulp and seed in it. It also has wobbly jelly like Ai Yu in it. From the sweet strong cordial taste, I suspect it is made from passion fruit cordial mixed with pulp from a real fruit. Won't order this again due to the cordial taste.

*** Breakfast ***
7.37 am - shared this yee Mee bought yesterday from Fa Cai eatery as breakfast. As with yee Mee noodles, it is difficult to go wrong so it is ok.

8.44 am - cut a red bean salted egg yolk mooncake and both of us ate it throughout the whole day until it is all in our tummies. This mean there is only one red bean mooncake remaining.

  1. Hope your elderly will be doing alright but it is life. As get older, more health problem. Take care.

    I still have 2 mooncakes left. Shanghai mooncake and another one is creamy milk tea mooncakes from The Westin KL.

    1. As one gets closer to the end of life, one must be at peace with one's life and accept the inevitable that everyone needs to meet their maker one day. So right now, must live the way we wish to live while we still are able to.

      You plan to eat both mooncakes soon?

    1. Ya, I agree with you. For me, with no children, I wouldn't want to trouble anyone so I pray for a quick and swift painless death when the time is here. Don't want to be hospitalized long long for many tests to find out what is wrong with me.

  3. As we age, some will encounter more health problems. This is part and parcel of aging. We can only pray and hope for quality life till the last breath.
