Why should we never hide the truth

August 16th, 2007 by Yvonne

Why should we never hide the truth from patients? Even when doctors think lesser known is better?

Watch this video.

Someone very patiently translated Aya Kito’s diary and posted it online. Click here to read her story.

Remembering Aya, Yvonne is reminded that just being alive is such a wonderful thing.

Eddie took me to the mall this evening. I waited for him the whole day in the apartment, afraid of venturing out on my own. Strangely, just walking around this 400sq feet apartment made me feel pressurized.

At the mall, my head felt heavy, my balance was poorer, and it was hard to lift my chin or look up. Each time I did, I had to quickly look back down to reduce tension in my head.

We went to Jamba Juice, but because it was so hard to lift my head to read the menu posted above the counter, we left without buying.

But I didn’t care. I wanted to walk. I cannot stay indoors forever. As long as I can go out, I want to go out, even if it’s just to see things.

    Yea, i understand how you feel dear. Even though just sit in the car driving through highways, somehow i just feel so good looking at the world. It’s like reminding myself that I’m still living. Being alive is indeed a wonderful thing. Being able to see smiles on our friends’ face, being able to be a part of the busy city. Everything seems wonderful. that’s why though I’m sick now, I’m always very eager to go out for a walk. Even just for few minutes, i will be happy.
