Sunny Saturday

So, Mum was back home. Anita went off with her. So were the boys. I was on call today, and spent the last couple of hours waiting for a transfer from another hospital across town. The patient has yet to materialise. I decided that it was time to go back to the apartment, have some snack, a shower later, before returning, fresher.

The weather outside however, was really gorgeous. Plenty of children in the pool downstairs basking in the sun. I wished that I could take the boys along, but not today I guessed. I ended up watching some television, maybe enjoying a fine brew of coffee, before getting interrupted again by phone calls …..Happy Saturday everyone ….

Homebound

Yes. Organising the transport home now after the bill had been settled. The boys came along and that could only mean havoc. They had their cookies, and was waiting patiently at the lobby for the driver to come around. Next would be my brother-in-law tomorrow.

Mum Going Home

Both My Mum and brother-in-law was doing much better. My Mum was being discharged today, while my brother would be staying for another evening. Their fever had settled and their platelet counts were heading north. Anita spent last evening cleaning her Mum's room with the maids. She also went out shopping buying groceries and containers for the room. I couldn't tell at what time she went to bed last night.

As for me, I went to bed early with the boys since I would be on call today. Anita was on the way over with the drivers to pick her Mum home and sorting out the discharges. I was waiting for some blood results in clinic. The clinic appeared full. It was Saturday after all.

More Fogging

Finally it was down to Majlis Daerah Gombak to organise the fogging. And they came in one big van. The whole place was shrouded in clouds. The whole of Jalan Delima.

The officer went from house to house to inform them that fogging was taking place. They also erected a big banner informing everybody that here had been cases of dengue recently - my Mum and brother-in-law none the less.

He also informed us that there would be some activities planned for the community in the coming few weeks. There would be talks and also gotong-royong to clear the area, and hopefully stop any more new cases from cropping up.

The sad thing was, the officer was told off by his superior as if the cases were his fault. He would be doing more fogging in the coming weeks to make sure things settle down. He did ask how my Mum and brother was doing. According to him, it had been a while since the last case were reported in our neighborhood. Hopefully when the campaign were launched, people in the neighborhood would be joining in in force.

One Long Day

It was one of those days today. A lot of things going on, and it wasn't over yet. I have yet to get my evening rounds sorted out - would be heading back to the hospital after Maghrib.

I started the day early. For the ward rounds out of the ways before 9 am. I then waited for Anita to arrived. We then had breakfast together - roti canai at a nearby Mamak shop which she said was quite good. That took us close to 10, when I left Anita to start my clinic. After clinic was done, I put the finishing touches for the lecture I delivered after lunch.

Lunch was actually rather good. A buffet at One World Hotel at One Utama. First time I was there actually. Then it was time for my lecture. I had to leave early since I had some stuff to sort out.

I then returned to Gombak and took Anita and Irfan out for an early dinner while waiting for fogging to be organised at the Gombak house. We went to a nearby and had some sushi.

Now, it was time to return to Subang for the evening rounds, and to see what my Mum-in-law and brother was up to. Hopefully Anita would be following along ....
