| What was the past 5 years for? |
I saw my mum cry yesterday.
A few days ago, she started having 'tinnitus' or what others describe as 'ringing in the ears'. We went to an ENT specialist in Gleneagles, and he told my mother that there's nothing he can give to stop the ringing, that she won't notice it anymore after some time. However, he did give one medication, saying there's no guarantee that it'll help but she can try it.
And that cost us RM180 (Note to self: I should work in Gleneagles).
I didn't really think much about my mum's problem after that visit. But last night, I came home from buying groceries and I saw a pastor, who's also a relative of ours, with his wife in my house. Shortly after that I saw my mum coming down the stairs to see him, her eyes looking like the world was about to collapse. I got the hint, went straight to my room, leaving my mum with the pastor and his wife. That's when I realized how serious things were.
So the pastor prayed for my mum and left. Later part of the night I jumped into my parents' bed and listened to my mum complain. She described the ringing to be so loud that it equals an aeroplane landing. It's driving her crazy. Her headaches are getting worse, she's not getting any sleep because she hears it more clearly when everything is quiet. She can't control her temper. The worst part is she's afraid that it'll get worse.
One stupid thing though, she went to see another pastor before this one, and that pastor told my mum that an evil spirit is holding on to her and causing all the problem. The more she tries to fight it, the more it'll hold on.
What?! How's that suppose to help? Now my mum is scared about evil spirits, no thanks to him.
The worst thing about knowing medicine, is when you find yourself in a situation where you don't know what to do. There my mum was, the strongest woman I know, crying. Within minutes, I started tearing. And all I could do the rest of the night was watch her cry herself to sleep. 'Shit-tiest' night of my life..
She seemed much better today. But I'm still feeling helpless. Does anyone know how to help my mum? |
