Good Things About Aches

Yess.. its GOOD things not ANNOYING nor BAD things because of something happen on us or our beloved ones.
But why I said its good? Am I happy when Im sick? Or do I scream happily when my family get sick? Wo..wo..wo.. wait. Im not saying that :p
I hate to be sick and seeing others too :)

But before I tell you how good those aches, I want to share a little about 'hard lesson' that I've got since in the beginning of this year.

It started from my mom.
I got called from her about last February. She told me she felt sick when she wanted to *sorry* pee. I know this feeling, because last year I've been suffering for bladder infection. Anyone who knows this ache will know how painful the feeling. Yep..its my mistake who often delay my business in the bathroom. So I told my mom to drink a lot and should not delayed if she want to go to the toilet. She did.
But the pain became worst day after day especially when she felt something burning in her stomach. So she was taken to the bigger hospital near my hometown. At that hospital, the infection has totally healed but the burning feeling was still remind. Even the doctor didnt even know what to do anymore because all the test that was taken telling her body was already okay.
So, my mom was taken again to another city, to the biggest hospital. Same problem and same treatment there. All doctors said my mom was okay based from her test. Isnt that weird? We got stressed especially my mom. She even thought devil was behind those painful.
Im not saying Im not believe that there are evil in this world but because I believe our God is the One who control everything, I believe He wont let devil come along through her pain forever.
After several days in there mom was getting better and she finally back to our home and does her daily activities :)

But, cloud still remains..
Next days I got call from mom. She sounded panic. I knew something was not good. She told me my youngest sibling, my brother was hospitalized. He's actually live not far from me. We are in the same province but different district.
My brother's face was swell and his previous doctor suggested him to go to hospital because it might be kidney problem. Oh no.. what again!!!! It was not really a long time since my mom and then now my mom.
And after we brought him to the hospital, it was true its a problem with her kidney. It was neprotic syndrome. It made my brother's face like fighting with someone because it was swollen. It happened when water inside our body is not out properly.
And then again I watched my family was laying down in the hospital. I was stressed honestly especially when we wait for his albumin going back to normal.
After several days, he finally back to his place. Me and my little sister prepared his room and his stuff so he could cook by himself. Because he needs to pay more attention for his foods now. Seeing him last week even he gets thinner than before but so far is healthier made me relieve.

That's the end? Nope..
I got called this afternoon from my little sister. She said her back is hurt and even her left hand feel heavier than the other. She knows something not right and decided to go to hospital later. And then...

WHAT exactly happens to my family now????
Why aches are so easy come to us???
I kept asking that to myself. We used to be so fine. I mean some of us just getting cough and influenza but after that we are good. Why now?

And then I decide not to look up only from my side. Im trying *SO HARD* to see the good things from all of this situation. Here are what I saw:


This World is definitely Not Our Home
Not trying to be so holly here. But I know our real home has no aches at all and this world is just our school. After I graduated Im going home and so my beloved ones. So this HOME brought me hopes. Hoping that someday we will gather in our REAL home with no pain, no aches anymore.

Death
I got this lesson in the hospital when I saw an old man passed away. He was supposed to be back for home that day because he was better. But when his family came to pick him up and prepared his welcoming home, his chest suddenly hurt and collapsed. And then he passed away. I was so shock because night before he was gone I saw him watching TV. I even know what program it was. He would be have no idea it was his last programmed he watched, right?
Im not saying Im ready to see my loved ones die. Just think about it Im trembling. Who would? Im ready to leave this world but honestly Im really not ready to say until we meet again to my loved ones?
So this thing reminds me to be more care for them now! Not later.

Being Healthy is Expensive but being Unhealthy is More *and more* Expensive
I realized this when I bought a human albumin liquid. Its soooooo expensive!!! Its only 100 mL and so easy to be vanished but need a lot of money. My brother need it until 7 bottles I guess. I counted his medicine, room and doctor bills, it was so hard for me to understand how God really Great to prepare all of that.
From every aches that my family felt Im more concerned about my own health right now. Especially I lost weight recently.
Maybe in the past I would shout horray for losing some weight but now I learn to be careful if something happen in my body including weight.. :p
I also try to cook by myself and release some ingredients such as fat, oil and salt. One thing that I still hard to do is exercise *wink* I dont like it. I want to lay on my bed as much as I can. But lately I can feel my body is so stiff and it reminds me again I SHOULD do some routine exercise! Ouch.. Who said this going to be easy????

More Alert for the Sound of My Cellphone
Why does my cellphone brought good things now? Well.. I used to be sooooo hate for being disturbed by phone sometimes. I liked to turn my cell off, didnt pick up the phone and didnt reply text. And the worst was I often left it in my bag or in my room so I didnt hear the sound and just saw it so many missed calls from my mom or unread text from my friends. If they asked me where was I going or what happened I just laugh and said sorry. So bad right? :(
But now.. I activate 2 of my cellphones all day and all night! Now, Im so care for the sound whether its calling or text.
Its because Im far from my family. My parents, my sisters and brothers are spreading around. So we can easily keep in touch just by phone. Now I know how worry my mom when I was not picking up her phone when I called her and she was in the kitchen. I got worried so easy right now but I know it makes me more care for them and calling them regularly. Im so regret for what I've done before.


Now, can you see why I said those aches bring good things and changes to me? Im not saying Im not scared. I am!! But this fear never bring good things. All I can do is praying. Someone said to me its not enough to face aches. But I dont know, just by praying I get strength and stand up and ready to fight my worries. Great doctors, good nurses, best hospital, medicines, healthy foods, good treatments and finally heal are definitely grace. And Im really thankful for that. That's why, I also learn to be more and more thankful. Its hard to believe, even in the worst situation there is always... there is always something that I can thankful with...
