A not-so-Koonard post by Koonard.
Hi balls... for once Koonard is actually posting, even though I am ninjaing Nigel's account to post coz I can't remember my password for nuts. Anyways, I am quite sure none of you knew what happened to me during the past week, since I only told Nigel on msn. I am pretty sure you guys will be quite shocked.
Since last Friday, 23rd of Jan, I have been staying in hospital for some reason that I never thought would occur. On Friday evening, after mopping my room, I had a headache and was having double vision. So I laid down on my bed and when I woke up, I was in the hospital like 4 needles inside me. This was in the ICU. Apparently, after I had laid down in bed, I had a seizure and blacked out. I rolled off the bed and hit the side of my right eye really hard against the bedside table, such that there was a huge cut right next to my right eye and my right eye was really bruised. When the seizure happened, my parents told me they heard me scream loudly and when they found me, my whole face was covered with blood from my cut, which was pretty deep. I was pretty lucky that my mom had 2 strong friends over who helped carry me along with my dad to the hospital for treatment.
For this past weeks, I have gone through numerous tests to find out what caused me to have the seizure and whether my brain swelling has gone down anot, because when I entered hospital, the swelling was pretty bad, that I had to be in the ICU for 6 days or so. So I spent my Chinese New Year in hospital. I'm really quite hum, because brain injuries can be really complicated and can affect the quality if life immensely. Anyway, I am feeling alot better now. Just that for the next 3-6 months, I won't be able to drive, do sports, swim; basically do any strenous things or operate any machinery.
Basically, what I wanted to say was: treasure the people around you. Parents, friends, relatives, whoever. I know its seriously pretty unlike me to say this, but through this experience I realised how important it is to value the people who matter to you. I mean, I have always been unappreciative to my parents in general. I take them for granted and I never once considered their feelings. I'm always rude to them and only care about my own well-being. I have never been more thankful for having my parents and my gf than the past week that I have stayed in hospital. One of them has to always stay to accompany me, coz I can't be left alone and I even have to have someone to help me to shower. I know my parents are really tired due to work and stuff, but they still rush over to visit me after work and take care of everything for me. I really regret all the times I treated the people around me shabbily and I hope you guys don't be guilty of the same thing as well: to only learn how to value the people around you only after something has happened. I dunno how many more tests they have to do to figure out what caused my seizure and how long more I have to stay in gleneagles; but I am determined to treat the people around me way better when I get out of here. I really feel very bad when I see my parents dozing off when they come to see me, coz they have so much other stuff to do besides taking care of me.
Also, I am very sorry for being a fair-weather friend. I admit I was pretty anti-social and only appeared at random times. I will try my best not to be so ZSQY from now on. (Maybe abit nia). Take care of yourselves man. I dunno whether my sleep-deprived, alcohol-filled lifestyle and trash-eating tendencies actually contributed to me blacking out. It was really a super scare for me. I was actually afraid that I would lose my memory or become stupid from such a hard hit on my head when I fell. I never really realized how important health was until I cui'ed last week. So take care of yourselves dudes. Look forward to meeting you guys for WE, LAN and tau huey again. Don't be shy to let the people around you know how much they matter to you, because paiseh is seriously for cocksters!
Yours Sincerely,
Koonard, using Nigel's account.
