Gallstones
No, not me. Fortunately.
Shuing. He has it.
So it was on Friday that I discovered Malay had returned from his family holiday the day before, and I proceeded to organise a mini catch up with him, Shuing and G. That was when I learnt from G that Shuing had been admitted into hospital due to gallstones in his gallbladder. That explained why he hadn't replied to his work emails or WeChat messages for the last three days.
After seeing Lina, I had enough time to go home to clean up, then drove to pick Malay up. He gave me two presents he got from Japan, and then we went to pick G up. I think he really wants to go on a group holiday with the boys. Not sure how well received it will be if I ever tell them I'm going to Korea (again) with a girl.
We picked up G and went to Chinksford to eat. I really wasn't hungry, and was in fact kinda turned off from food. But the Malaysian restaurant we chose did have menus that looked tempting. I managed to eat a decent amount and had a full drink. I knew these were a few unhealthy days.
After that we drove around a bit before going to Shuing's to see how he was. He came out to my car and we all stood around on the street talking. After being discharged from the hospital, he took the risk by coming back up here to Sydney, which I thought was a brave thing to do. Not sure if I would've taken the same risk.
It was surprising to hear of this news, because even though he wasn't the sportiest of all, he didn't necessarily have a bad diet. I've seen people eat much worse than him and nothing happens to them. But he put it down to largely genetics, and seemed to refuse to admit that diet and exercise have much to do with it.
I could also tell from the WeChat messages that he had become even more cynical from all this, turning his grumpiness towards Thai and Brain. That grim reaper I sent to the group a while ago really had a profound effect on him, as he kept saying the grim reaper wasn't going to get him this time.
Seeing him go through this really made me reflect on my own diet. I give in to temptation a lot. Just today, with this news fresh on my mind, I decided to go to Woolies and buy a pack of chips and a bag of chocolate to eat in the office (along with my healthy home made chicken and lettuce sandwich).
But now I will forever see fatty food in a different light. Also found out earlier tonight that my dad had the same thing when he was 33, and had his gallbladder removed.
Of course! That's what caused the big scar across his stomach! How could I forget!
