It Ain't Over Yet

I thought that the trips to the hospital for Anita would be a bit less this weekend, but how wrong was I. Anita was OK, but her Mum was admitted Friday and today, it was suspected that she has dengue. The pattern on the blood results were certainly in keeping, and the confirmatory serology would be sent tomorrow.

She was still having fever today, and I suspect that this would still continue for another couple of days. Anita was with her lay night with me and the boys chilling out through the night - we went to bed after midnight. I picked her up from the ward this morning after my morning rounds and now, we were back sending the maid to accompany her tonight. Anita would have to stay back as the boys would be back to school tomorrow.

So, it would be another few days before things went back normal at my household .....

Business As Usual

I was too hungry to start the rounds this morning, so, breakfast took priority. Roti telur. Teh tarik kurang manis, which was the sweetest thing I had tasted in my life.

While waiting for my order, Anita called. This time, it was her mother having high temperature, and she was asking me what she should do. She needs to see a Doctor obviously as there was a virus in our household at the minute. But she was not the type who would see a Doctor.

Anita insisted, and hopefully it was jut a simple virus. Should she get admitted, then then chaos in the house would continue on .....

Back On Call

Back on call today and as I was dragging this, I was just sitting at the Doctor's lounge contemplating what to have for dinner. Not really hungry as I had some noodle earlier when I went to the apartment for a shower.

It had been a lovely day wether-wise today. Clear blue sky, minus any hint of the haze. Wish that it was a Sunday when I could take my camera out for a photo walk. Not today I was afraid.

At home, I thought Puan Anita had been overdoing things a bit. Today also happened to be my Mum's birthday, and after sorting out the flowers and a trip to the bank, she felt drained. She definitely deserved a rest. The plan was, she would be spending the day at the spa this Saturday with her friends. Hopefully, she would be much better by then.

Enough Drama

Things were more or less back to normal except for Irfan still missing from his kindie class. Anita was feeling better although she still got the runs. And I would be on call again tomorrow.

We even managed to do some groceries tomorrow, although we decided against buying outside food for dinner. So, it was a quiet night in, although Idlan had plenty of homework to do.

I need to get to bed early as I have a full day of clinic, then the evening call to do. I would then be spending he night alone at the apartment .....

Time to Go Home

Puan Anita ha a comfortable night last night, when her friends came to visit and kept her company until almost midnight. A good night sleep after that and she only needed to go to the toilet again the next morning. Not much tummy ache anymore, and much less dizziness or headache.

She still hated her medicine, but her appetite was back. The Doctor allowed her home this morning and by the time I finished my clinic, she was all packed-up. The boys - Irfan especially - had been calling her all morning. Idlan was at school, and when I left him at the school entrance this morning , he made me promise that his Mum would be back later that day.

We reached home by the time Idlan arrived from school, and the boys spent the next hour all over their Mum. Anita still had to take her medications for the next few days, but I was sure she would be fine by the weekend. She had a trip to the spa all planned out for Saturday .....
