So it is, the amputation.
Don't know what to respond when hearing such bad news from Mom, for I was totally blank then. They didn't tell me before the amputation, which, I suppose, was because they didn't want me to worry about it. Several days ago when I lain on the bed and prepared to sleep, all of sudden I thought of Father, who was amputated then. How would he feel when he realized the amputation is unavoidable? How will he feel when he is faced with being physically-challenged? How to habdle the daily routines that used to be a piece of cake to him?
I tried to put myself in Father's shoes, discovering that I had little tears in my eyes.
Don't know what to say about such result. Were it be checked and treated by docotors earlier, maybe things would have been different. Were it not for the stubbornness and superstition deep-rooted in Father's mind, were it not for the timely care we family members can provide with, how different the result we can expect?
Whatever, it is too late to regret. ALL I HOPE is that all of us can learn from so pricey a lesson.
