Jatuh Lagi

Last sunday jatuh basikal lagi sekali. I had a scratched knee and a torn track bottom :( I lost my balance masa nak kesat peluh. Masa hari kejadian masih teruskan mengayuh. After the ride baru another member find out about it and she took out her first aid kit in her car so I can put something on the wound. Masih boleh sujud. Masuk hari kedua, luka mula mengering dan dah tak boleh sujud. I tried, grit my teeth and use the chair. Dah lurus kaki susah nak bengkok, dah bengkok kaki susah nak lurus. Lebam2 di tempat lain pun baru mula nampak. I'm still using the chair to pray today. Hopefully kering cepat so I can use my left knee again. Hubby sakit2 badan panjat pokok rambutan pun tak dapat urutkan properly. Baru perasan banyak kelebihan ada lutut yang sihat dan sempurna.

I was late due to the wrong location that day. Tu lah masa nak catch up yang terjatuh. Not because I was hurrying though. I wanted to wipe the sweat on my forehead. Should have used my left hand instead of right. I can probably hold my balance better with right hand on the handle of the bicycle. Sigh! Cuti cycling this week. Last week dapat cycling 4 kali. Can't wait to continue cycling again.

Anyway, sikit jer sakit tu. A friend of mine had a shocker of her life. 2 days before Raya she had bleeding problem. She's single and has never had problem with her period. After various hospital visits finally the verdict is uterus cancer stage 4. Even then it is not fully confirmed. Her ovary is bigger than normal size and they have to operate to find out. While waiting for the operation date, she can't see clearly on her left eyes. Went to the emergency and the docs said she has blood clots in her body and it's in the blood stream. They worry some will deposit into critical area. One clot must have been at the optic nerve.That's the reason she can't see clearly on her left eyes. Another has been on somewhere blocking the flow to one of her legs that her leg felt quite numb. They have to give her blood thinning agent in hope to stop more damage by the blood clots. Yesterday she went into op to remove her uterus, ovary, appendix and lymph node. She's in ICU after the operation and is expected to be moved to normal ward by today. I'm praying for her speedy recovery. In less than a month her life has turned upside down. Visiting her at the ward I saw many elderly people. They must have problems related to reproduction system too. It could be me there one day Nauzubillah. May Allah grant me health right towards old age.

Yesterday hubby was on the plane to AOR. He WA and said he didn't feel like going. While we were texting back and forth, hubby said they already closed the door. I prayed for his safety. About 2 hours later he texted that they landed in Penang airport due to bad weather in AOR. The plane has tried to land twice before turning to Penang to refuel. Some passengers were already throwing up. Everybody was jittery. When they reached AOR hubby's meeting has already been postponed. They can't afford to wait for him because there's another meeting. So hubby has the option of waiting at the airport for his return flight at night or take another transport. I researched the KTM and express bus. The bus seems to be the most viable option. He spent the whole day on the road yesterday and reached home at about 9 pm.

If he took the flight back he normally reaches home around 11:30 pm. But then, only of the flight is on time. There's a warning of thunderstorm from the meteorology department yesterday and I believe he made the right choice of returning by bus. Of course it would be better if he said there's an emergency to the stewardess and has to leave the plane immediately. But we're mere mortals. How can we be sure our instinct is real or just us not feeling like doing something for a change. There's no way he can know that. At the same time I'm really amazed at human instinct because I have similar moments too. Not as dramatic as not wanting to board the flight though. But there were instances that we didn't know from where we actually receive the signal. Must have been God sent. Whatever it is, Alhamdulillah hubby reached home in one piece.

There will be moments in life where we fell down. Get back up as long as we breathe for we have one destiny in life and that is Jannah. Remember this always and we will be fine no matter how many times we fell down. May Allah give us strength to go through life as a good Muslim insyaaAllah.
