Dear Hubby Not Well

Dear hubby isn’t feeling well. He has been having tummy ache for about a week or so already. It has been bothering him so much until sometimes he got no strenght to talk to me and the kids cries and voices irritates him so much. He has been to the panel clinic two days ago, but still doesn’t seem to get better. He suspected that because of the yoga lessons (He just signed up for one of the fitness center and attended 2 yoga classes) that make him overstretch. Anyhow, he went to the panel clinic again and was refer to go for further check in GH, Seremban.

So dear hubby when there, the time he sms-ed me was about 10am, his number 1799 and the calling number at that time was 1729. DH waited for an hour still no where near his turn. (That’s one reason why I hated goverment services, I will try to avoid by all means, be it the goverment hospital or goverment dental clinic, national registration department, immigration department. All these will requires you to waste your time queuing and waiting and worst you even need to get up at dawn to start queing up). DH decided not to wait and proceed to a private hospital. Got everything checked and had an ultrasound scan, all done in within an hour. Everything seems normal, cause of pain undetected.

I’m always worried of DH’s health. My family are very health consious and one of my aunt is even health freak after some health scares she has encounted years ago. We tend to be more contious on the way we eat, but DH’s family is very different. They have a very typical Chinese thinking that when one is able to eat, that’s fortunate (吃得是福). So they tend to overeat without control (大鱼大肉,暴饮暴食), of course partly also they have been through very hard life before, and now that they are living a more comfortable life, they do not want to deprive themself from what they have missed out. And also because DH is the pet of the family, there are always ample of food ready for him to munch at. More so often DH is indulged with his favourite seafood of crabs and squids which is very high in colesterol. I’m very concerned over DH’s eating habit, after a full dinner meal, he can still munch on alot of snacks and even a full serving of fast food meals and then head straight to bed. There is a saying “早上吃得饱,中午吃得好,晚上不吃会更好” (One need to have filing breakfast to give you energy for the day, lunch needs to be nutricious, it’s better to skip dinner), I believe we need to let our digestive system rest and not overwork them at night in order to maintain good health. I have tried to say as much as I can on DH’s eating habit, but I really can’t stop him and control him. Also DH is lack of exercise, he might have gone for a jog or to the driving range, but it’s not really often enough to be good. What can I do?

DH just told me that there might be a possibility that he will be admitted if he still feel the pain tomorrow. Need to be put on drips and have blood test done. Hopefully he will feel better tonight
