It's about 4 days since i got out of hospital..Cannot remember the date, but went in for a procedure called an angio gram last thursday. There were a couple of things i learnt, amongst them was NO SEDENTARY LIFE for me....was not quite use to just not doing things. Not quite comfortable with lying flat on my back too. It was the most agonizing 6 hours, and i do wonder how i managed to feed myself flat on my back with congee.........Determination and plain stubborn was probably the reason i sailed through. I really laid flat on my back, and when lunch came, ask the girl serving the lunch to lower the cardiac table until it was within reach. I then took the serviette, placed it across my chest as slowly but surely scooped the congee bit by bit.
i am certain i have caused upset to a few many people as i have kept arm's length to many including family and friends. It is not easy to tell people no need to come but just ask them to intercede for you from a distance. i just did not want the fuss, well at least from majority. i had though, selected handful whom i did want their presence, and they did show up. One with a firm voice, one with big soft ears and 3 prayerful people. Truly a handful indeed. It was not easy and i bashed myself thinking how cold i was telling people PLEASE DONT COME.
i am just glad i heard and obeyed the inner still voice prompting me to see the doctor. Just to document and remember another SPIRITUAL MARKER, i had prayed and asked God to show if i should be concerned enough to seek specialist attention. God does speak in strange ways. For whatever reasons, Dr Samuel Ong's name appeared on flixster at least twice, the last time being 17th May. i did not take heed of this and even the things i read in Max Lucado's book and i remembered the word Stress test! Fast forward, after praying for God to show me if i should seek help, the next few days, i hear my 2 friends Dr Tuen and Dr Gan saying the word "Sunway". It did not quite sink home yet, until next morning as i surfed and wanted to find more information, and as i clicked on "doctors", Lo and behold MAN OF GOD staring me in the face........Good grief, my own associate pastor. Took the phone number down and was prepared to call that morning. As i went for breakfast, there i should chat with Pat the possibility of checking my heart, and she brings out hers and tells me about her experience, and who should be her cardiologist but Dr Samuel!!!
Well, as people say the rest is History. The great thing revealed in all this is.....Now my blood pressure is properly monitored plus my cholesterol which has been shooting the roof. It was music to my ears when Dr. Samuel repeatedly told me i could still go for my trip. Yay!!! This is truly when the word of God goes out, it will not return to Him void. i was glad to be out of hospital and it was really difficult not to be useful or just slumbering around....No sedentary life for me..
