Saedah is not well

Ham and I went back to Ipoh for Raya yesterday Tuesday 13 Aug. We stopped by Saedah’s house at Changkat Larang first. But she was not home. She had been admitted to Hospital Tuanku Bainon for her breast cancer chemo treatment. So we went to the hospital to see her.

As usual she was cheerful although she said the cancer has spread and she was in pain and discomfort most of the time. This time around most probably they’ll do mastectomy as well; thus she would be losing both breasts. She is 59.
After that we went to Kg Kolam, Tanjung Rambutan, to see Saedah’s mother who is 80. She is Ham’s elder sister.

She looks well, her only problem is the inability to walk, hence spends most of her time in bed.  She is also well looked after by her youngest recently divorced son; and grandson and his wife.  Then a stop at Ham’s other sister’s house in Tambun before heading for KL around 5:30 pm. There was some heavy traffic around Slim River otherwise it was smooth travel.  We arrived home just after 8:30 pm. A 3-hour drive – that’s not bad.
