I think by now almost everyone that knows Hootie, knows that he is currently in Neuro ICU, General Hospital, KL.
The doctor diagnosed him as having cerebral aneurysm (google it up to find out more about this). The doctor suspects that he had this for quite a while but we had never suspected that anything was wrong since he never showed any symptoms. Unfortunately for Hootie, his aneurysm leads to rupture of the arteries, which in turn causes bleeding in his brain.
Don't ask me what had happened for I'm also in the dark. He was found by a group of good samaritans, already feeling sick and they sent him to the GHKL. According to the attending nurse in the emergency ward, the group of friends just sent him, explained that he was already in that state and left. No name or contact no. was given. And they were very honest as they did not taken any of his belonging nor a single cent of his money. The attending nurse at the emergency ward was the one who contacted me and my in-laws to tell us about his conditions.
He was brought in at around 10.30pm on Friday night and was operated immediately at 11.45pm. The first operation ended at 4 am, Saturday morning. They managed to remove all the blood and stopped the bleeding. At around 8.30 am, when the doctor was doing his round, he noticed that his right pupil was bigger that the left pupil. They did another round of scan and noticed that his right brain is swelling and this causes the face to bloat. So they did another operation in order to stop the swelling. And alhamdullilah, he looks better now although he is still unconscious.
To all friends who came to visit and to all the wellwishers, thank you for all the morale support and prayers. Will keep you guys posted on his conditions.
P/S: As cruel as it may be, please take Hootie's experience as a lesson. It doesn't mean that when we are healthy, we will not get what Hootie has. Also it doesn't mean that by having a healthy lifestyle, we won't suffer any other health problems. Do go for regular check-up and invest in "life saving" devices such as blood pressure monitor and sugar level monitor (which I found out will cost only a couple of hundreds and easily available at all the major pharmacies). Do not be such a cheapskate when it comes to your health for any amount of money can never replace your health and life.
