I visited my old tuition centre teacher in UH today. He was in the cardiac ward and had been there for the past 1 week or so. I only had the opportunity to visit him today afternoon.
Cikgu Rezwan is only 43 and had been a very dedicated teacher with his own tuition centre in Damansara Utama. His main subject was add maths and physics.At the same time , he was an active motivator ; helping lots of the unfortunate ones and motivated them towards SPM at least. I must say,he had done a good job and i admired his spirit.
I was surprised to see his condition today . Gone was the happy go lucky stout chain smoker who would always smile upon seeing his old students. He looked really emaciated and weak.One positive thing though.. his long hair remains !!! Image tetap image babe !! haks..
He was on nasal prong oxygen and seemed exasperated for breathe. I looked around him and i saw they've switched off his dobutamine - in a way that is a good sign to his recovery.His lasix infusion was still running indicating how he cannot afford to retain excess fluid in him. Unfortunately , after reading through his notes, it will be very unlikely that he will be back to normal. Its either a plateau or downhill from now.. A very negative outcome.His heart is really in a bad shape with irreversible damage.
He looked depressed but was cheerful as we talked. It had been quite sometime since i last saw him and spoke to him. He wants to talk more but unfortunately he was very ill. I felt really sad to see him this way. He had delayed few diagnostic treatment before this because of financial constraints and that is a bummer. He had been ill for wuite some time but only recently did he ask to see his old students. He had suffered a lot and is still holding on . He is frustrated that he needs to depend on others to do his daily chores when he is so used to being independent. I felt really really sorry for him.
Cikgu Rezwan.. My prayers are for you.
