| [slm] I can't remember giving an intro previously to y'all......time is of the essence hence a quick note. just finished BSc. i'm writing to say , make a dua for me because i am moving to central london for a kind of working break as part of a business programme, a week prior to going to hospital. It's not too serious, just a bit delicate when your respiratory system is concerned. No sympathy or pity, just a humble dua will go a long way. insha'allah. Towards the middle of july i will have left theatre (nah I'm not watching bombay dreams at all ! instead i will be holding the fort at centre stage between life and death) and be on the road to recovery - insha'allah. Otherwise I won't hold my brave face and I may shed a tear or two. They tell me hospital food is good (as if!) I seem to have lost some weight and my shoe size has reduced from 4 to 3. I eat alot but I guess stress plays a part as well as my body rejecting many foods due to recent allergies. I can't even drink a bebzi without feeling like my stomach is being eaten away by acid. I Still have no reason to complain about life. So now I live on milk and fruit/vegetables. I guess my subconscious is helping in a way to get me to eat healthily. Verily allah tests us all whether it be through wealth or family or in terms of good health. And allah does not burden any sou beyond it's scope. I can't really feel too sad about going into hospital because i just read the thread about LIghteningAtNite getting married - alhumdulillah. I just want to say sorry if I have said anything to offend anyone and I have really smiled during the times when I felt like my degree was impossible to achieve. jazaks for the wisdom, laughter, and making madina a warm and memorable presence in cyberspace. [wlm] :-) ps may allah subhanahu wata'ala grant us all with a place in jannat-ul-firdaus - allahuma ameen pps excuse the unwarranted humour about theatre. |

| sis zara, i wish you well with your run on the broadway of hospital! i'm sure it will go fine. hoping you don't have to encounter anything to cause you to receive standing ovations! ;) yeah, why don't you do a real intro sometime when you have a chance? i really appreciate your sense of humor...:D somtimes i wonder if we weren't separated at birth, by chance?? i see you've been kind of doing what i did and answering people's individual questions and scattering stray bits of information about yourself all over the board under a zillion different topics and contexts so that bits and pieces are all any one person knows.... hee heee :) but, um sis zara, you, unlike me, still have a chance to do up a proper intro - c'mon now, before it's way too late! take care and you can come here and act out your best parts -- we'll listen and give you our admiration... :) mwishka |

| [slm] InshaAllah everything will go well, Sis Zara. It's been nice reading your posts and InshaAllah after you come back from the hospital, we'll get a chance once more to read them again. We're all making dua'a inshaAllah and remember that Allahu SubhanaHu Wata'ala tests us all in different ways, and I believe this is your test. InshaAllah with sabr and reliance on Allahu SubhanaHu Wata'ala, you will pass the test with flying colors. [wlm] Betul |

Albany or middle east, I recall you mentioning a trip. As for an intro, well let the enthusiasts piece together the puzzle and ponder on the missing pieces which I with-hold....Although I have laid most of my cards on the table and even dealt you the joker in the pack at times, I am still unable to wear my heart on my sleeve. This morning i was loading and unloading boxes as part of some deliveries that i was helping a sister with. She looked at me with astonishement when I told her that I had finished loading and unloading them. She exclaimed that even her husband struggled with the load. [Imagine these boxes that are approximately 1.1metre length, 60cm width and 75cm depth] she told me that she got her husband to load the boxes and couldn't figure how he managed to lift them let alone me managing on my own. She said you must be strong [I wish!] It made me smile though :) I feel a little more confident about my health already. [slm] :-) |

| [slm] Insha'allah everyone is well, I have studied much and I am soo tired due to early mornings and finishing at 6pm. I have taken some time out tovisit some of the highlights of London. Wallah nothing compares to Madina and my heart finds little solace in this busy place. Unfortunately I have left my Surah Baqarah cassette at home along with my Personal stereo. I'm missin hearing Sh. Shuraim's tilaawat. I will try and make salat-ul-asr at the localmosque but it's not the same. In a few days Iwillbe in hospital and it makes you think that many things that one worries about they are not even important like I hope i pass this course and leave with some useful knowledge. take care and pray for me wasalaam Zara |

| [slm] Alhumdulillah, i'm in the land of the living again! hope y'all are in the best of health and iman. i came home yesterday and can't talk loud enough 2 answer a phonecall or make one. My nose is bunged up with blood and surprisingly nothing hurts too much and i just feel like the strength from my body has been drained some what. laughing and crying causes pain amongst other things. although i know all this will subside and by the grace of allah i will feel better. My visitors get a bit concerned, i do not bother to wear any contact lenses and when i can't see their expressions too clearly it bothers me less. Also it takes too much effort to talk without getting breathless. although i haven't had any painkillers i still fel very nauseous, in short a bit out of it. :( make dua that i regain full control of all my senses soon, insha'allah. may allah bless you all.

| sis zara, SOOOOOOOOOOO happy to hear that you are well (almost :( ) and home again! it sounds like all went well with your operation. did you get a chance at all to play out any good lead roles?? he heee (the nausea is very likely due to the drug used to induce anesthesia, it can really make some people sick for quite a while afterwards.... hopefully it will leave your system soon) looking forward to your return to shahada bookstore..... :) mwishka |

| [slm] Alhumdulillah it is but the mercy of allah and the dua that people have made for me that I am beginning to feel a bit more like myself today. I have little appetite and when I do eat I can't taste food properly because my nose still feels a bit bunged up and I have to breath through my mouth. Also I have mild allergies to spices/ wheat and bebzi . This means I have to avoid these foods for the time being and I can not eat desi food with the family and have to stick to healthy food. I have lost some weight, or so they tell me. As for me holding the fort at centre stage well, I didn't like the audience being soo captivated in scrutinising me. I have never liked attention even in a positive light so it disturbed me that I had the medics entranced for about 5hours as they walked on eggshells to make sure that my health was taken out of jeopardy. I can sit here and complain that x, y, z is hurts but the truth is that I am in more discomfort than pain because I have a really high thresh-hold for pain and can cope. However I can not deny that it is hard not being able to breathe properly and having to force myself to eat despite not being able to taste food so that I can carry on along the road of steady recovery. keep me in your prayers. tk care [wlm] Zara |
