The family of ailing actor Tridsadee "Por" Sahawong, whose left lung was removed last week as he battles the after-effects of dengue fever, say they are finding his plight hard to accept.
Speaking at Ramathibodi Hospital hours after the operation on Thursday, his manager, Sornmontra Pichaisornplaeng, said Por's family will feel happier when he is able to sit up and talk again.
"Before this, they took him off a ventilator, and he was able to sit up and talk. He sounded a little hoarse at times, but we would like to recapture that moment. If that image could come back again we would be much happier than we are today," he said.
The popular Channel 3 actor was admitted to hospital early last month and fell into a coma which lasted weeks. On Nov 22, doctors amputated his left foot to contain an infection as complications from the illness spread.
