Father...

The whole of last night neither of us slept at all.... he was awake most time and call me every hour.After I sms my siblings my sis Lina and hubby and bro Fandi and sis in law came and stayed till 2am....After father is comfortable they left and I was alone with him.A very tiring night.




Today he sleeps most time and seem drowsy but alert when we call him.He refused to be changed and getting up from the bed.Not eating and not wanting to take his other medications.....I noticed his limbs keep jerking and he seems to want to grab something with his right hand.I don't feel good and when my sis Ram at around 2.30pm I told her about it and my worry is its his neuro affected.




I called Adah and discuss with her of my findings and she suggest to send him to hospital and agrees with my findings.We spoke to him about going to hospital and ofcourse he objected initially.I checked his blood sugar and it was very high as he hasn't been taking his routine medication the last few days.Not wanting him to have another stroke attack we discussed about the hospital again and Aini finally managed to coax him into going.The ambulance was called and came within 30 minutes.At least he is in good hand and care when he is in hospital which I can't do alone at home.




Depending on his conditon our trip to KL maybe postpone temp until further news....am looking fwd in meeting some of you but due to such circumstances may not materialise.



Will update when I visit him tomorrow let us join hands and doa for his speedy recovery.




ps....Simah thank you for calling from Istanbul this evening and thank you for your moral support my dear.

Difficult day


A difficult day indeed right from morning till night.Father is being difficult today when I went to his room this morning at 8.30am he was awake and ask for my help to sit him up so he can sit outside then I realised he wets the bed....alamak he couldn't control!!ok ok send him to the wash room and he took a shower and changed his sarong and sat reading the paper and while I went to clean his bed washed the stain and put the fan full blast and just as well a small patch!!Changed his bed sheet and play smart put a plastic unused table cloth underneath the bedsheet ... you never know rite?


After sitting there for an hour he wants to go back to his room and sleep and before that he ask for panadol which I gave him.He slept on and off and I kept going to see him and he was talking nonsense ...... left him alone and carryon with my ebilling .... haha .... you must be wondering how come I am still doing the billing when I 've resigned.....I am helping my boss until he can train someone to do it ...period unknown???? 1 year ? 2 yrs?..... anyway I am being paid now ..alhamdulillah rezeki kan?? kaklady I hope you are reading this....dengan duit ni bolih beli bag tiap2 bulan ooopss salah nak simpan ....


At around 1.30pm my sister Ram came she took a halfday and spend the afternoon with me at home to look after my father ..... Ram went to his room and kept him company then as usual he was hallucinating...telling Ram why are there so many children outside ... supposedly my nephew's friends and told to keep his watch and hp nanti budak2 tu curi....haha...in actual my nephew is in school!!So Ram asked him why is he talking nonsense and he asnwered "tu lah bapak pun fikir gitu" and we found out he took the painkiller and thats the medicine that make him drowsy.


I left him with Ram and went to get my hair cut .... he again terbasah lagi and refuse to change until my brother Rosman came and sweet talk him and clean him up and finally use the diaper for tonite.


My night not over yet he just call to say he is too cold so gave him the comforter and rub his chest with tiger oil and ask for coke.....I hope I can get a peaceful night but unlikely.

I sms all my siblings to come and help stay the night to help...... helpppppppppppp

On duty.....


I am on duty at home 24 hrs a day as private nurse ..... hehehe.... to a special patient non other my father.He is still in pain and you can see the bruises more obvious today compared to yesterday....I can imagine how painful it is for him....every movement is just too painful.


Today he didn't sleep as much but when he sits on his chair he will just doze off and then talking to himself...I stayed at the dining table doing my ebilling and keeping an eye at him.He still doesn't want to eat which is sad .... anyway today my kitchen is smokeless .... I ate leftovers and only tonite I fried rice for dinner...My sisters Ram and Aini came to visit after work so fried rice it is for them.


Father is still unsteady when he walks infact he was swaying so one has to be behind him incase he falls again.I try and snap a picture of his bruised hand tomorrow if he allows me.
My sis Maria called from the states but he was asleep and I don't want to disturb him and Maria will call him tomorrow morning instead and talk to him.


This morning I was cleaning the drawers in the kitchen and .......





I found this which I bought abt 5-6 yrs ago from one of the sales rep....these dolls are made by those women folks in Campuchea,during the war and bad weather the farmers have no job so our volunteers from the missionaries taught them some handwork and thats the result.The group brought them back here and sells them for charity.I bought 3 of those and had given them away one to my sister in the states and another I gave to my friend in Australia and clean forgot that I still another until this morning.The doll above is actually to store recycle plastic bags so I hang it up next to my present one in the kitchen....pretty aren't they? wish I can get hold a few more.




In between doing my billings I also managed to knit this pinkie booties and by afternoon I had a set done......


My father still need me to help him to sit up and when he is getting up from the bed and my poor back still aching so since I can't massage my back by myself I use my ..........




Osim uZap and I feel so much relieved and tonite when Aini came with tante I had an urut session by tante .... it may not be like the one that Rina went at Kerteh but at least I get a 10 minutes rubbed.........

I am praying hard that tomorrow will be a better day for him and for me and for everyone else....I need to go down to have a hair cut in the morning and please doa for my dad's good health yah?

Managed to snap this picture this morning at around 8.40am when he just got up and sitting on his chair...... just picture yourself how painful it is with every move .......

Monday blues


I woke as usual at 4.30am and found my father sitting on his special chair complaining he was feeling very giddy.I checked his blood pressure it was ok but he was shaking and his colour not that good so I make a cup of milo for him maybe because he hasn't been eating all day his feeling giddy.I sat there with him in the wee hours and start doing my ebilling there at the dining table.At the same time keeping my eyes on him...he is in a lot of pain today especially on his left side trunk and thats where I guess he must have fallen first and using his left hand to support the fall.







Today I become his special nurse at home,he needs assistant to put his sarong- he can't even hold on to it ...it keeps slipping so I tie an elastic ,help to get him up from his chair,help to lift his legs going to bed and help to pull him up from the bed.Every movement is causing him pain....poor father hope you'll feel better tomorrow and my back is getting the pain too but am not complaining...if I don't help him who will????





He still have no appetite so I cook chicken porridge for him and only this evening he eats it infact he is there sitting watching the news on tv and my bro Rosman came to visit bringing more food..oh boy!!





Because today I also cook this ........










chicken rendang ........









and this oregano potatoes with crab stick and sausages ......





I had 3 visitors this morning my sis mom and father in law and they brought tosai for my father which is still sitting in the kitchen.They stayed for about an hour and left just before 1pm ...thank you tok mat and nek leng for coming to see father.





At 2pm this pretty young lady came ........






Doc Adah bringing with her the followings ..... thanks doc for coming to see my patient ..... hehehe



Mandarin oranges for my dad and......











persimmons for me ....... my favourite:)












Also this belated farewell gift ..... beautiful pendant and chain ..... cantik.


We sat chatting while waiting for my father to get up from his nap..... they chatted for a while and she left around 3pm and before she left I gave her rendang and oregano potatoes to bring home as she is fasting today.While she was here she managed to YMing with Sya and Norabella and I'm pretty sure these 2 ladies must be surprise ...... rite Nora and Sya?


No doubt I am not working in a clinic now but am nursing my father at home .... and thank you for giving me this opportunity to be with him at home when he is down and sick.

Recovering.....

The bruising and pain is very obvious today both for him and myself ..... my father slept most time due the medicine effect and been throwing up few times maybe empty stomach....

The bruising can be seen on his upper arm today and we bought him a sling from the pharmacy as the one given by the hospital is just triangle bandage ... very flimsy.He didn't eat at all today just bites and he is feeling nausea .. I hope he will feel better tomorrow.

My siblings came today to see him my sis Ram ,Lina and bro Fandi.....in any event I am not alone where father is concern and I am happy.


Actually we have a wedding invitation today and with his condition like this I didn't attend and c/o my sister Ram.She came with berkat for me and I am yet to eat it maybe tomorrow ( kept in the fridge).



Father in arm sling

My bro giving him a massage on his back and you can see the blue black on his upper arm .....

but my poor back no one to massage for me ..... sob...sob...

Today I went to the market when he was sleeping just bought what I need to cook and come back as fast as I can.

I cook mee soto and soto ayam this is one of my favourite dishes....can eat 2 helpings .... hehehe

recipe available at my dapur.

Accident....

I start my break today before I start on my new job after CNY and I think its all written that I should be home today.As usual I was up early and while waiting for my washing to complete in the washing machine I went online and was YMing with maklang and Norabella.At around 9am I was in the kitchen when someone knock at my door very loudly and told me my father fell I rushed out without thinking and leaving my frying pan on the stove with the flame on.....when I remembered the pan was heating hot with smoke...just as well didn't start the fire!!




What I saw outside near the staircase was something I always worried abt my father .... yes he fell and flat on the ground,he was unable to get up on his own as he had stroke 4 yrs ago and has a bit of weakness.He went down to get breakfast and was about 3 metres from home when he missed a step and fell.....for how long he was there on the floor god knows and I was lucky my neighbour and his family was on the way to their shop.Between me and him we tried to get my father up but he is so heavy ..... he won't let us touch his left hand .... too painful!! so I tried my best to let him sit first but his feet just cannot be firm so the next best thing I ask him to shift slowly towards the stairs so he can grip the railing and at last after 15 minutes we managed to pull him up.





Ten minutes later my sis Lina and bro in law Yazid came as its norm they will come on saturday morning with meals for my father.....father was in pain and its him who wants to go the hospital.They left at abt 10am and didn't get home till 3pm ..... usual lah waiting time at the clinic...and the xray showed fracture at the neck of the humerus on the left hand...nothing much they can do and healing time will take abt 6-8 weeks.He was given painkillers to stop the pain which is non other paracetamol 500mg ..... he can't take any others due to his stroke medicines.
He seems comfortable for now esp all the children came to visit and its just like hari raya at my house today.




My back is killing me now due to lifting him up just now and I hope it will be ok tomorrow morning when I get up .... must remember to take pain killer before bedtime.




Memang ada hikmah for making my lastday yesterday ..... can you just imagine what will happen should I not be at home this morning???I can't imagine!!and what if he was to fall somewhere else and not at home ground???my doas he will always be look after by HIM.
