自幼也是體弱多病的一群,常給大人說我很「孱」。雖然不是嚴重到兩、三個月光顧醫生,但印象中是經常要吃抗生素。直到移民美國,雖然身體也不是很健康那種,但我也沒有再那麼易病,一年也只有一至兩次傷風感冒。

香港天氣潮濕,空氣差,最要命的是,人和人之間的距離是誇張的小。自幾年前由美國回流返港,就不斷的病。因為只是自己回來,以前也多是在家吃飯,所以九成以上的時間我都是買外賣。也因為我的病,經常麻煩了同事和他們的工作進度,要向公司拿sick leave都拿到難為情,卻又不能不休息。多麼想要一個真真正正的break!回港後,因壓力、飲食、環境、天氣和種種不開心,再加上年紀,覺得自己身體真的差到不得了。

最令我印象深刻的是,有一次在家中病到天昏地暗,突然有一股很強的孤獨感,竟然覺得自己死了也沒有任何人知道,那種感覺原來真的很差。又有一次,自己半夜到了急症室,等了四個鐘頭,那份無助、驚徨和孤獨,我想這一輩子我也會記住。但又在那四個鐘頭內,我看到有些老人家病得很辛苦,也是自己前來醫院求診,真的很可憐。我當時想:「我想回家。」

其實,我覺得病不是最難捱的事,那種病了但像沒有人會關心和愛護的感覺才是。

  1. this kinda reminds me of how lucky I feel for now that I am still in my 20s, when friends are still "kids", and not yet have their own family.
    i guess it's the only time that they would have time for me when i am in need.

    let's say 5 years later. bet most of my friends will have their own family, raising kids.
    i might be in need, or i might just want some company. but they probably won't be there for me only becoz i need them.

    so yea i hear you and totally understand what u are talking about in this entry.
    sometimes in a selfish way, i hope that some of my friends will always stay single, or just unmarried, or just without kids, so they would be more available for me.
