Actually, we adv him to do peritoneal (water dialysis at home) which is more comfortable, automatic done when sleeping. Machine is very quiet. With peritoneal, the doc will place a permanent tunnel in the tummy & properly sealed, for chemical fr one bag to go thro washing blood & return to ano bag (which will be thrown away after whole process upon waking.
He insisted to do blood dialysis at centers outside of home, whilst we adv him to do peritoneal but he wanted that temporary caterer. These caterer has to be changed every 6mths to a year or sth like this happens. We struggled to get him to select the best option, it hes got his own ‘agenda’. But we just stop pushing coz he’s gotta go thro the hard lessons. Now with the blood infection, he knows how he vomited till legs wobbly, yday agreed for doc to get the procedure for permanent tunnel to be placed in his tummy.
It’ll take time. M’time MIL suffers a lot having to handle his tandrum, stubbornness, un-coperativeness. He belongs to his old school with his male alter-ego.

how aged are your in laws?
your fil is undergoing a lot of sufferings illness physically n mentally , you mil too -tired weary, drained... oh dear...
sometimes, it is individual life ... there are people who smoke n eat big ... but not so much illness
there are some who take care but still got such troubles.....
again all depends on individual body genes, cell, hereditary factors that make up human body

I have done a fair bit of all these. But never in countries like Thailand or Indonesia. Mostly in Australia and NZ. I think I am much more of a thrill seeker than DS and DD when I was younger. Maybe news of all these accidents were not that widely available then so, ignorance is 'bliss'. Now I heave a sigh of relief when they tell me they have no intention of bungee jumping or sky diving, etc. DD is more of a thrill seeker than DS. So when she wanted to zip line and all, I insist on going with her even though at my age now, my heart is at my throat ready to jump out.

My car is 13 years old. Max 2 more years to go and it will be end of life. If repair cost is $500 or $1K, I will get it done. If $5K then I might as well don’t use the car boot anymore.
Think I was distracted lah. Was ranting to DH about how high petrol prices are, after an average increase last month, prices shot up again this month. Probably got too worked up then “bong” liao.
no point spending money to repair...I agree with your hubby to change to a new car since the present one is already 13 years old. the boot is necessary since you have to go marketing.
Sent my car for repair yesterday. Knocked back the dents on car boot cover and bumper, spray paint. Managed to bargain the cost from $800 to $550. Change new car, I need to start servicing new car loan. Think of this part, I damn sian.
I recall 10 yrs ago when I hit the same pillar, it cost me $5K because that was a lot more serious and I claimed insurance.
Anyway, damn sian, just kissed the pillar for a split second, a few hundred dollars gone
lee_yl,
Had been following event of yr car boot. Glad to hear you’ve sorted out repairs & not the $5K as feared. At least u get to use the car a longer time. S’times, things just happen & we didn’t notice what’s coming/going to happen.
On the brighter side, no need to buy new car & can zip around. I never got my driver’s licence as I was sent overseas before I cld take my tests. Thereafter, my kids came along, etc.
