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.

Nice Cuppa

Nothing beats a nice cup of tea after a long day at work. Well, that was what Puan Anita prepared for me this afternoon when I got home. At the apartment, it was easier for her to prepare all this. At the Gombak place which we shared with her parents, it was kinda difficult.

And that's why I preferred it at the apartment.

A Different Start

For the first time the boys started a school day at the apartment, and needing to travel - against the traffic mind you - to Gombak for school. Anita woke up extra early, and we got the the boys up for shower at 6.30.

We were bracing ourselves for war, but it turned out that the boys were excited. Idlan even planned to have a nap in the MPV on the way to Sri Utama. Let's see if their enthusiasm held for another couple of days.

Hopefully Irfan would be OK at school. He could pass urine last night without much pain, but at school, it might be a different story. Hopefully no drama …..

At the Apartment

Since it was more convenient to get to the hospital from our apartment, we decided to stay there until Irfan's infection and pain settle down completely. That would also mean extra long commute for Idlan to school. The driver would have to get to us extra early, but in his motorcycle, that should not be a big problem. We would probably stay there for another few days.

We like staying at the apartment. Things tended to be simpler here, and especially during weekends, going out was great. Getting to work was also would be a breeze .....

Irfan needs an Op

Irfan woke up this morning screaming in pain. He had problem doing his number one. Pain he said. He tried, and managed to pass some urine, but stopped halfway due to pain. It was burning. He had this problem last year, but it settled pretty quickly. This time it was different. Anita rushed him to meet me at the hospital, and a quick examinations at the Emergency Room explained where the pain was coming from.

He had an infection on his foreskin, and there was a bit of pus coming out. Painful stuff. I brought him up to see one of the surgeon, and it was pretty clear that he would need circumcision. Poor boy.

The date had been set for Wednesday week. I was slowly dropping hints to him about what was going to happen. Hopefully he would not freak out come the big day .....

For the meantime, he needs a salt bath, some antiseptic cream, and some antibiotics syrups. The pain was much better this afternoon. Hopefully it won't return tomorrow morning ....
