Disaster
occurrence would not be alone/Carlos Pueblo
After
midnight one day, I felt an attack on my right side of tooth. Obviously
, it has
been a decay of tooth gradually invading the nerve at the bottom. I
know what to
do with it, I shall boil some hot moon bean soup with some
salt in it.
It is a remedy which has passed on to me from my mother. Tooth
ach means too
much Yang, fire, in my body, and must be cooling down by
some Ying
staff, such as the moon bean soup, according to Chinese herb
medicine.
Eventually, the nerve of that tooth will be dead and the tooth
can be
extracted easily. I am still in my recovery from two cataract surgeries
; therefore,
I consider that these two aging health issues are companies.
I have had
several gum disease surgeries since late 1980 and still can not
save the
some of the teeth. Finally, I went back to Taipei to have two sets
of fake
teeth. I still cannot stop the further decay and this is the first tooth
issue after
my fake teeth installation. I may have to arrange another trip
back to
Taipei, Taiwan for my dentist appointment.
I asked my
eye doctor, ophthalmologist, why both eyes after cataract procedure
have a
different vision and color reflection. He and his nurse didn’t answer me
at the
clinic; however, the next day I received an e-mail with a detail description
of reasons
why people are losing their vision. Cataract is number one, and
diabetes is
number 5 reason of the total of six. The information is quite a professional
knowledge
which is not that easy for me to read through; however, I do have a
conclusion
which is the sign of aging, and aging may occur along with several illness.
I must face
it that I can’t recover even with the current help of medical technology
to become
young again.
A famous classical scholar Han Yu of the Tang Dynasty on his
eulogy to his deceased
nephew, he complained that his hair turned gray and his teeth
were moving. In
addition to those two disaster, I used to have my left eye
blurred all the time. Of
course I cannot be stressful due to the fact of aging, cannot
pretend the I enjoy aging,
I must face the challenge of aging.
Since I am a good patient, my 2nd eye doctor will
continue seeing me as a regular
eye patient due to the sign of sugar crystal in my eyes. This is
why my family physician
requires me to check with my eyes every three months.
