Well, it isn't because we are having any plans in SG for this weekend. It's because mom isn't feeling well and can't drive back to JB.
Just now at around 8pm, after she had watched the Korean drama on TV, we were supposed to head back to JB like every other weekends. She then suddenly felt very dizzy and had to lie down on my bed. It was so bad that she couldn't even get up. Every time she attempted to get up from the bed, she would feel the whole world spinning and she had to quickly lie down again. So we decided that she should rest here and we will go back tomorrow morning, if she gets well by then.
She told me that this was actually not the first time. In fact, she had this dizziness before at home, for several times already. Recently she went to do a medical checkup and the report indicated that she is having high-blood pressure and high cholesterol. I believe these conditions may have contributed to her dizziness.
What frustrates me sometimes is that despite the unfavourable medical report, she would still take unhealthy food, such as fat meat or chicken skin, which is one of her favourites. Whenever i see that, i'd tell her sternly that she should not be taking all these fatty food when she is supposed to be controlling her cholesterol level. Then she would say she's only taking it "once in a while". Well, her "once in a while" seems to be very frequent!
Anyway, she will be going back to the doctor for a follow-up checkup. We will know then if her conditions have gotten better or worse.
She is fast asleep now. I hope she will get well tomorrow morning.
