accompanied ken for his medical check up this morning. his mom, sister and brothers were there too. it was suppose to be at 10am, but they told us that his turn would be prob in another hour, so we went for breakfast/lunch at the canteen. we kinda went back to the clinic at 11 and he missed his turn...so we had to wait for another 15 mins before they called him in again. was suppose to go for my tutorial, but by the time the appintment ended it was already 1 plus. so i had to skip it.
anyways, the doctor had really bad news. everyone thought that after the operation, his knee will go back to normal and he can start doing all kinds of sports. but apparently that's not what the doctor said. Kinda depressing, but the operation will only help make the knee stronger. something like because all the muscles or tissues have be torn, his bones have developed some ulcer and some horn-shaped thingy that cannot be cured. and he'll have artritis (or however you spell it). so when it gets cold or going to rain, his knee will start to ache. and when he play sports, he'll still feel pain and soreness in his knee. to sum it all up, he's in very bad condition.
the doctor actually gave him 2 choices for the operation. it is either they take the tendon from the left knee to put it into the right knee or they'll use a dead's person's tendon imported from the states to put it into the right knee. the second choice is the less painful choice, but the doctor said that the risk of using it is that there is a possibility or disease transfer from the dead person. although they have done tests for the common diseases before the take the tendon, there maybe a risk. doc said that it's very rare that this will happen. and i definately hope for the best, but even 1% is still a possibility.
i see him try so hard to prove himself in the army, and he forces himself to participate in every excersie possible to show that he's not like those "chao keng" type. and those running and army stuff he does makes his knee condition worse. but his officers dont understand shit. they just think he's faking it sometimes, and it makes him upset. stupid army. i'm the one who is more affected by this then him, and i dunno why. i guess he's just the happy go lucky kind. or maybe he's just keeping it inside.
on a happier note, i've decided to go take up dancing lessons! haha...when i have the means to, i will. was watching So You Think You Can Dance? and i think it's so cool. especially tango and waltz. i'll probably dance it at my wedding. haha. i'll have a dance floor where everyone can dance, not clubbing style though. i'll have jazz music. maybe get a jazz band to perform :))))
right now i have to study really hard. heard from nisa that i got 62 for my ITFD test. not too happy bout it though. really expected much more. i guess i have to really study much more. i'll start mugging for my feb papers right now. want to make this last semester a good one. really need it to pull up my GPA if i wanna go to uni.
i just wanna request that you help pray for ken. his operation is on the 19th of december, hope it goes smoothly :)
