The marathon runner

A number of entries have been created for my dad, which I feel unfair to my mom, since she is the marathon runner which I admired on.

She is a patient of valvular heart disease for well over 10 to 20 years. The condition is kept controlled by taking a bunch of pills everyday. How many of them, you might ask?

40.

There are 18 different kinds of pills in total (hey! I do the pills packaging for her!) and some needs to be taken 3 times a day. Her patience and discipline should be well respected. I already felt annoyed by finishing the anti-biotics which last for 5 days. I cannot imagine myself, in taking up pills everyday for years, and not to mention the vast amount!

Stay healthy, my mom.
