Home Coming

Hehe. Not really a home coming dance/party,  instead, its my brother coming back home after so many months in Hospital.


He has met with many complication after his bike crash. Something which was supposed to be fatal at that time (head injury, brain swelling, blood clots scatter all throughout the brain), doctors assume at worst he cant make it over the night, at best he will be disabled for the rest of his life. But dang, a week later, my brother was on the road to recovery, other than unable to count, he has no problems.

But not long after that, he met with a less serious problem which is much more troublesome. His windpipe is blocked, maybe during the accident, doctors use some device to aid his breathing (he could not breath, see, talk, feel), and it might have injured his wind pipe during that time.

Now he is admited in ENT (Ear Nose Throat) ward, and they cut out a chunk of meat from the  windpipe and place a T-tube, one tube in the inside of the throat, and joint by another tube at the neck, that forms a T-shape thus T-tube.

Complication such as water/soup coming out of the tube when he eats (it should not come out as food and air has their respective pipes), he was bloated (doctors mistake, and because a stupid nurse did not realise it in time, they had to cut open his neck, a rather long opening if you ask me.

Enough with the rant, now he is home, hopefully he will only be getting better from now on.
