Health is greater than Wealth

I'm feeling much better today. Thanks for your well wishes.

Last Thursday I was feeling kinda sickly, and was half-joking with my colleagues that I can't get sick, cos the weekend is coming =]

Alas, I had a sharp pain in my right eye early Friday morning. It has happened before, and what I do is just to go back to sleep, and everything should be fine the next morning (except a blurry morning after). This time, it wasn't so. I missed a 7am meeting and was bedridden on Friday. I tried to make an appointment to see a very good eye specialist, Dr. Dunstan FERNANDEZ, who has his own practise in PJ Old Town. He would only be available at 3.40pm earliest. *sigh*

The good doctor, is a eye specialist consultant for Assunta hospital. Rotary club PJ president in 1995-1996, and his wife (Dr. Theresa) had a Clinic in PJ Old town, where my mother-in-law used to work as a nurse. He's got many years of experience and it shows. His fees are moderate for a specialist and his medication is superb.

He patched me up and gave some advice, and told me to come back either Monday for a further check-up. Basically the problem is a recurring eye injury that happened before. When I got sick, my body resistance dropped, eyes were dry, and just by blinking, aggravated an old eye injury. *sigh*

Anyway, doctors orders are to go for long term 'lubrication' and artificial tears. Don't use the computer for long hours, and take care of your health. Health is greater than wealth.

Special thanks to my wife who really took care of me during this whole weekend. Love, your hubby.
