Autumn photos from the Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne

Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne

I had the chance to shoot some high aperture photos in the garden one autumn afternoon (6 June 2010). Here are some of the shots.

mom's sos

She was diagnosed with a spinal disc herniation between L5-S1 parts of her spine. This means that the "padding" between the two parts of the spine is getting dried. As a result, the two bones are compressing some nerves along the area. This compression causes the nerves to malfunction.

The solution to the problem was to get an operation. The operation cannot be prolonged because prolonging the problem may cause nerve damage.

We took mom to the operating room at 2 in the afternoon.
Right now I am just waiting for the operation to finish so I can hug my mom.

I am doing my best to be strong for my mother.
