|
|
Dear Tony and friends, this week I got a serious lesson regarding impermanence.
Being at a Italian restaurant celebrating my nephey`s bday, then driving to my sis for coffee and cake, on the way a car took away my right of driving and bang car crash at about 70/80 kilometers per hour. Frontal crash, my car is irreparable damaged, airbags opened, ... . This is how quick life can be over, just like that.
Please take good care of yourselves! _________________ Water which is too pure has no fish. |

Oh gosh . Are you OK? How badly are you injured? Hope nothing is too seriously damaged about your body - I have high hopes for everything is alright because you are writing .
As Tony always says, life is unpredictable, one should always treasure today - he understands the word "impermanence" very well. Still, I wish every tomorrow is the same (unless it is better) as today for my family and all my friends (Tony, I take the liberty to consider you as my big brother and a dear friend, for you who bring me happiness, teach me important life lessens and be so kind to me) .
Take care and have a speedy recovery .

Auweia !!! Sounds terrible (snowy road ?)
Heike I hope you (and your nephew) are reasonably well ....and you had a medical check afterwards, as a precaution (HWS !) :-kThe damaged car is extremely annoying of course , but your physical and psychological (the shock !) health and wellbeing is the most important of all
My VERY BEST WISHES for a speedy recovery ....to realising your next Hongkong-trip in April without any aftereffects
TAKE CARE, Heike and everyone ! |

No Yitian, I`m not OK. Best thing is according to the docs that nothing is broken but I`m suffering from the aftermath of a concussion, whiplash injury, bruised and slightly out of place nose, bruised shoulder and knees, my glasses broke right above my left eyebrow when hitting the airbag and left a scratch. Whole upper body is in pain. This is how a boxer must feel after a badly beating. Most of the time I`m lying in bed on a heating pad.
No Helga, no snowy roads, quite dry. I`m still in hope for being in HK in 5 weeks. We`ll see.
Thanks a lot for your wishes! _________________ Water which is too pure has no fish.

Yes, it is painful, quite. In addition I got a cold, imagine to sneeze or cough with a constant headache. Delightful

Ohhhh, you poor thing! This is terrible!! 💔
I hoped a better outcome but feared a worse one. I am glad to see you write, even with a sense of humor . I wish I could carry some pain for you. At the moment I suggest to try to sleep as much as you can - I often find my open faucet like nose shuts tight at night when I fall into sleep: no sneezes, no coughs. Hope this reduces the number of sneezes and coughs. It may also speed up the recovery .
Take care, keep fighting and get well soon 💪 🙏 💖 . |

Yitian, if I lost my sense of humor I might be dead.
I`m lying in bed most of the time due to the muscle tension in neck and back. Can`t be on my feet for long. Just made coffee, reply to your post and then straight back to bed.
Thanks for your wishes!
I`m positive on the _________________ Water which is too pure has no fish. |

Dear Tin-Yau,
I have been very busy and just reading here for a long time.
Today, after reading your post, I thought I have to send well wishes to my Victoria Peak friend.
You must be frustrated by not being able to do things you did naturally.
I remember it was difficult when I broke my wrist a few years ago, even though it was nothing compare with your injury.
Please have enough rest and recover well.
Good luck to visit HK ! |
