I am unable to be with you all tonight as my grandpa just underwent a colon (large intestine) operation on Tuesday, which lasted almost 9 hours in the operation theater. I’ll be taking turns to stay overnight in the hospital to look after him. My grandpa is turning 79 years old this year, but he recovered as fast as a young man. Even the doctors said that he’s physically and mentally very fit and strong. Thank God that the operation went smoothly and it was considered successful. He’s not on morphine anymore as he does not feel any pain at all. His church members and relatives kept coming to visit and to pray for him. We really thank God for giving him a healthy body even at this age. This is truly a miracle!
On my side, I am currently on MC for a week. As some of you might know, I was involved in a car accident on valentines night (11.49pm). What happened was Loren, his siblings and I went to Puchong to send his cousins home after Saturday service. Loren said he wanted to show me some new shortcuts and asked me drive behind them. At that time, Lisa (Loren’s sister) was driving the Wira, he was sitting beside her. Along the way, there was this sharp, dark turning which had a bump right after that. Lisa emergency braked at the bump and I didn’t see her brake lights and her bumper, and thus crashed into her car. I was stunned.
We pulled over by the side and called Loren’s uncle for help. I also called my dad. My kancil’s engine radiator was leaking, and the front of the car was quite badly damaged. It had to be tolled away to the workshop. I was a bit injured due to the huge unexpected impact. My chest hit the sterring wheel and my knee had some bruises.
On Sunday morning, my dad brought us to make a police report and contact the insurance company for help. Now, both the cars are at the workshop in Batu Caves, which would take at least a month to be repaired. I’m car-less. After that I went to the emergency wad to do a quick x-ray on my chest. Thank God there were no broken ribs or bones, just damaged some of the soft tissues. I will be fully recovered by a week’s time.
As I was telling Kee Wee, accidents can still be a praise report. I really thank God for protecting me and giving me a way out by escaping serious injuries or even death. God showed me that I should put any material possessions, such as my car, above my precious life. Although I was in trauma for the past few days, but I managed to overcome it now. I’ve also made it a point to always give glory to God even in the days of trouble, for I will praise Him as long as I live.
I’m feeling much better after taking the medications. Thank you W22 for all your endless support, encouragement and prayers. I’ll be back with you all very soon. God Bless.
P/S: Sorry, no accident pictures available...
Adios!
Love, Regina :)
