Took my leave in lieu today..


Spent time with my grandparents in ttsh.. both had appt there..


been awhile since i last spent extended time with them ha.. they very cute..


Grandma needs a pair of specs so went to the optician there.. so impressed by my grandpa.. he's so in tuned with wat's happening around him though he's already 73 n sometimes abit ku ku n acts like a kid wor..hee..


He told me about A380,said he also wants to take ..haha *hint hint to me * =P and when the optician talks about progressive lens etc.. he's able to share wat are the potential problems tt the lens may cause to the person who wear them.. think the optician a bit surprised tt my grandpa knows about the possible 'side effects' of the lens cos the optician trying very hard to persuade my grandma to get tt..e more ex of the lot.. $380 for just the lenses..bt after hearing my grandpa , he just said he has other alternative lenses..


Then though my grandpa n grandma usually can't get along v well, bt today can see hw they stood by n support each other when things happen..sweet also.. =)

on the clinical side..

My grandpa is suffering from age related macular degeneration (ARMD),the blood clots in his eye are still there, so vision still blurry..Today doc suggested tt he do a photo dynamic therapy (PDT)to 'burn' those abnormal blood vessels there..Hmm, even then, not 100% tt he'll regain vision in his affected eye.. so he's considering..


My grandmum have back ache for v long.. took an x ray today, realised tt the pain is due to 3 reasons 1) age related wear and tear of spinal cord disc 2) spondylitis (arthritis of spine) 3) lumbar area of the spine is slanted..doc said tt 1) and 2) are unavoidable as one age, no cure, just to alleviate pain.. 3) have to operate, but nw do physio first to see if condition improves.. except in cas my grandma can't pee , hav to go bck a n e n op immediately, since tt's an indication that nerves may be affected.


initially wanted to pray for them, bt my aunt gt a scolding bcos of tt.. hmm, so hav to pray for them 'secretly' then..pray their hearts be softened too..


recently qt a no. of ppl nt feeling well too.. pray tt they will experience the
healing power of God, out Jehova Rapha!
