My uncles, healthy or otherwise
It’s quite funny that among all my uncles, the eldest two uncle who are in their 80s and late 70s are the healthiest among all. My forth uncle is in his late 60s, lives very healthily and exercises daily, but he has high blood pressure since his late 30s.
My fifth uncle is three years younger than the forth uncle. He is a smoker, lives very unhealthy lifestyle and never exercises, he is diabetic since his mid 50s. His diabetes gets really bad the last two years, my cousin has to inject insulin to his body system everyday to control his diabetes right now. This diabetic supplies are not cheap, luckily he is rich!
In fact, he would have died two years ago if he has no money to go for a major surgery to remove a tumor found in his brain. The tumor was so big that it had started to press on some nerves and caused numbness in his left hand and left leg. He had to go through physiotherapy to learn to walk again after his surgery.
You could say it was a near death experience for him. You would think he would live more healthily after that. But he said: I would rather died if I have to abstain from so many food and can’t do so many things. :-)
