Jaundice

Posted on by

I ended up in hospital at EMC [Emergency Medical Care] Wednesday morning because of a serious liver malfunction and jaundice and only got out today because my liver test was slightly improved and I really wanted to go home and rest there instead of a freaky hospital where I was surrounded by drunks and crazy people. I just didn’t feel safe there…

Cause is still uncertain [there are definitely two options] and I’m waiting for test results that will be in on Tuesday hopefully, these results will rule out further tests if they come up with one of these two causes.

I will explain more tomorrow or later this weekend when I feel well enough. I’m still in a critical condition which could change over night. If so I will have to rush back to hospital again for further treatment. I just wanted to let you know what is going on and why I won’t be spending much time online for the next six weeks.

So I will take things very very slow because I really don’t want to end up in hospital again… Speak soon, I need to rest.

To know Tao

meditate

and still the mind.

Knowledge comes with perseverance.

The Way is neither full nor empty;

a modest and quiet nature understands this.

The empty vessel, the uncarved block;

nothing is more mysterious.

When enlightenment arrives

don’t talk too much about it;

just live it in your own way.

With humility and depth, rewards come naturally.

The fragrance of blossoms soon passes;

the ripeness of fruit is gone in a twinkling.

Our time in this world is so short,

better to avoid regret:

Miss no opportunity to savor the ineffable.

Like a golden beacon signaling on a moonless night,

Tao guides our passage through this transitory realm.

In moments of darkness and pain

remember all is cyclical.

Sit quietly behind your wooden door:

Spring will come again.

~Loy Ching-Yuen
