Well, it's been a while....
Things happened, changed and thank goodness, life is getting back to a lane that I'm contented with...
Well, this is just for the record and I need to jot them down..
Mom was not well during the beginning of December. It's all that is enough to change your perspective of life. Come on...it's my mom...she's the one eating healthily, taking care of all of us;even the little baby Shivendhra and never ever broke down. She was feeling numb at her legs and sometimes to her hands. We got to watch out for her to not to fall when she walked. I've never imagined that stage. They look so young and healthy. My father too. All it took was that one moment to hit the reality; that they are catching up with their age and we have to look out for them.
Her condition was pretty bad. She kept falling. She was not getting better. She was admitted(starting 4th Dec). Went through scans. Then directed to another hospital for another scan. Discharged. Admitted. Then, waited for a freakin bed at the freakin General Hospital. Then, directed to the specialist Neuro ward. And yup, that was it. Once again, thank Goodness that it didn't go to a stage any worser...like hitting with a stroke or even being paralyzed. Instead, she was diagnosed with a syndrome called Guillain-Barré(GBS). Some syndrome that I've never came across and there it was, affecting my mom.

"Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) causes progressive muscle weakness and paralysis (the complete inability to use a particular muscle or muscle group), which develops over days or up to four weeks, and lasts several weeks or even months."
That's exactly what my mom was going through. We've been told that it's a rare syndrome and researches are progressing. In a way, my mom is the guinea-pig.
Well, she's back and in a better health condition. Drinking ginseng, going for traditional-Indian massages, wearing a healing pendant, rolling her feet on the reflexology tool. Well, people(some lousy meddlers) blame it on us. Like we overloaded her with work. I know, I wasn't much of a helper at home but are you expecting me to cook and clean every dust that can be found ? Aaaa...Welllll, I AM trying to do the laundry and the dishes now. I'm self-centered, I know but I'm doing what I could.
This is like the cycle of life. You seem like in a good health and bam** you are diagnosed with something that could affect your life. They say, smoking is hazardous but yet smokers seem exactly fine(not that I want anything bad to happen). You just don't know what to believe and what to not.
