This week and last week, I made four visits to the National University Hospital. No I wasn't sick but just for blood tests and medical check ups. We thank God for the excellent medical facilities in Singapore.
The ENT clinic specialist had recommended that I should go for MRI, just in case there was a tumour.
Last week for the first time I had my head scanned - MRI. I was placed on a narrow bed, and at the press of a button by the nurse, the bed slid into a tunnel. I felt I was in a coffin where I remained for the next half an hour. I had been told to keep still and not move at all. Then the banging and the knocking and grinding, I felt I was at a construction site with hundreds of workers working away at the same time using hammers, drills and other heavy equipment. Throughout this period of time, I sang in my mind the familiar songs like "Be still and know that I am God", "In Thee O Lord do i put my trust."
I was glad when it was all over and was released from this tube. I saw the smiling face of the nurse, "It's all over" she said.
Today, a week later I went to see the doctor to get the result. With a smile the lady doctor assured me I was all right - nothing wrong with my head. Good to know that. And yesterday another doctor gave me the good news "You are all right" - my blood pressure, cholesterol level perfect. Of course, I am under medication following my angioplasty three years ago.
Well the Lord has always been good. Of course, I have to do my part - be careful about my diet. I now make sure my alarm is set at 5.00 a.m. (often I'm awake before the alarm well before 5.00 a.m.) when I get up to do my exercise, first on the exercise bicycle then go for half an hour walk in the compound.
The Lord is good!
