June 29 2022: Another hospital run day!

avatar

It has been 12 weeks since my dad's fall and his patella broke. The stretch enduring this journey if without the Grace of God I think all of us would have been truly burnt out.

The one good thing that #Malaysia still has is the medical facility.

True enough it is like a haven of "hospital vacation" packages for "medical assistant tourists" from overseas , which is totally overly expensive for B40 (bottom 40% income range), the general hospital for citizens and PR , especially senior citizens, are still well available with more young medical officers and doctors graduated to the field these days.

All we need is patience, and a gratitude heart towards them. Our medical team especially in the high intense work environment doesn't need money spat at them. Just a simple "Thank you doctor" and willing to understand that they are still doing their best despite tiredness really boost their energy and hold on their oat why they sacrifice their time and energy in the medical profession.

We encountered a few moments when we can see their countenance change when we give a word of encouragement, willing to work with them and listen intently. This helps the entire process faster.

Usually our endless wait for hours is because there are hundreds of patients they have to attend to.

The happy thing we see is that after 12 weeks the wire is still intact and the doctors are happy with the progress.

That's really good news!

Even having no place to sit and stand most of my time for 2 hours (while my dad is in the wheelchair) is still worth it. 🥳

Loads of calories burnt but after the whole day I ended up needing to so all the stretching to reduce my calves strain as well as my ankle. 😅

Patience sometimes is hard to come by. I had a patient tell me today (he works at a retail lumber store) that people sometimes blow up (I kind of thought he meant himself as a customer) and until he worked at his current job, he never realized how the people on the other side (meaning the workers) get yelled at on a daily basis by the customers. The giving of grace to those who are trying their best to serve you, can so make the person's (doctor's) day a brighter place. I am sure they are grateful for your patience as there are probably many more who are not so patient.

Nice job with your 6427 @actifit steps for the day. Take care!

Thanks for the encouragement for reaching 6K mark! 😁
Yeah there are days when though customers are king and we shouldn't abuse the rights as a customer unless the worker is behaving obnoxiously with glee.

Most servers these days do take quite a bit of verbal beating from customers who think they can pay.

In Malaysia there's a culture where we call the restaurant servers "boss!" with our 🖐🏼 hand up high and a smile 😃; and they usually response back to us and refer us as "boss" too. 😆

I always call out "boss! How are you?!" to the car washers who labour whole day washing cars from block to block with low income. They always smile and 👋🏼 back at me.

Awesome wishing him a fast recovery that is a good milestone my wife went through something similar @littlenewthings 😎
She is doing much better speed walks with a stick her op was just under a couple of years ago now.
It is a long road to begin with unfortunately

Oh I wish her continuous recovery! Yes. This is never ending training for the body readjusting with something changed that is not "original parts" / something missing.
But your wife is still young sm sure she will keep becoming stronger 😊
