HARI RAYA : a reflection
Syawwal 9 1436 H
25hb. Julai 2015
Teringat lawatan Raya yang baru lepas ni . Pada Hari Raya ke 4 , kami telah sepakat-kata menjengok Pak Chad . Pak Chad ialah bapa sedara kami dan ada desas desus yang mereka sekeluarga tak sihat . Socializing is not our family's ( my immediate family actually ) favourite in general . Alhamdulillah tahun ni , dah berjaya ziarah Uchu's home too .
Setibanya di rumah my uncle ni , we found his wife seated on her wheelchair with legs propped up on the bench facing her , duduk depan the main sliding down as if anticipating visitors . Subhanallah , an activity taken for granted by many ( or even disliked by some ) , like visiting the sick .........menjadi perkara yang sangat bermakna kepada orang2 yang dah uzur dan tak larat . ( ps : wajib visit more people , especially especially yang dah tak sihat )
I couldn't help but start probing , sesuatu yang dah sebati dengan jiwaku sebagai seorang Shuanghorean . Whatever perception others can conjure in their minds about this , doesn't matter to me anymore . I care . Fullstop . Ada yang akan pikir saya sedang memancing 'sales' . Dan ada juga yang mungkin rasa I should stop talking about health , penyakit dan perkara2 umpamanya yang saya selau share ( auto-drive mode ) ........especially so during our festive season ," take a break" , suggested mereka . Ya ampun ! sebaliknya pada pendapat saya , nilah masa yang paling wajib saya membebel . I mean , isn't it pathetic to see a tableful of raya cookies , cakes , sodas and sweets in every single house , irrespective whether the occupants are very sick or setakat merely having drug-controlled diabtes / hypertension / darah pekat / kaki sembab and the like . Astaghfirullah . Where penyakit is concerned harapnya janganlah ambik ringan . Mak nab is approximately 70 tahun , muda sikit from Allahuyarhamah Mak . She dah tak nampak dan tak boleh jalan with her left arm rendered non-functional , she actually took the trouble to demo this to me ........by using her right hand to lift the left up high , then dropped it . Okay I was convinced alright , it just dropped dead-limp onto her left thigh . She tengah on ubat kencing manis , darah tinggi , ubat jantung , ubat cair darah , antibiotik dan pain-killers...........okay she tak payah amik ubat lawas kencing . I am trying to figure out why she is not on ubat lawas kencing sedangkan she kata she tak lawas kencing and poopoo . Walhal it seems to me seolah every soul that I come across is on furosemide , termasuklah Abah dan arwah Mak walaupun Abah kencing okay banyak je ( kata abah ) . Okay let's not try judging , analysing , making conclusive remarks berkenaan sesuatu yang not in our expertise yaw . Kadang2 tu jadi geram bila the so-called experts tak pun nak menjawab betul2 bila ditanya .....OR ada yang tak tahu pun the answers , sekadar obeying and abiding apa yang telah di arahkan .
Berbalik kepada Mak Nab tadi , those left limbs are not totally dead rupanya . Bila di cubit lengan beliau , ada terasa . Dan bila I plonk myself insensitively on that bench where she was resting her legs , she squaled an ' ouch ' . Hmm...kaki yang lumpuh tu sakit . That excited me , maknanya we have hope . That particular leg ( left) rupa2nya ada besi dalamnya , yang telah dimasukkan a few years back sebab she cracked a part of it in a fall . Yang ni , kalau she use it to pijak on the ground it does huirt . End up , tak pakai. So she pasang besi sebab she had a fall , cracked the bone and dek kerana the crack , tak dapat jalan macam biasa . And now setelah dimasuk besi , pun she tak boleh jalan sebab sakit kalu nak mijak . And at times ( especially during cold wearhet ) , it hurt badly , she kata macam ditarik2 jari2 kaki tu .. Banyak perkara yang payah nak hadam , as far as western threatments are concerned .
As we chatter along , she related to me of her latest mishap . She kata she collapsed , her eyes rolled up prior to the fall . Doctor kata she was hypoglycaemic . " Orang lupa nak bagi her air manis " . I asked her , purposely : " Mak Nab kan ada kencing manis , kalau ikut lojiknya tak boleh amik apa2 yang manis betul tak ? " Kenapa pulak , Mak Nab kene amik air/ makanan yang manis hari2 .....otherwise jadi collapse .? The real situation , she terlebih gula dalam darah right , hence she is diagnosed with diabetes . She jawab helpless , " Tak tahulah .....ikut je ....."
Conclusion : Ambik tahu what's happening ? Bertanya jika tak paham apa orang lain buat kat kita , sebab itu adalah hak kita .....badan kita pun . Jangan malu atau takut nak tanya . Kalau di marahi , marah balik ....
