Arrangements for Idlan

The clinic on Friday morning luckily was a simple one and I was able to go in and out in between patients while sorting out Idlan, his cousins and my Mum-in-law who all had appointments in the morning.

We had finalised Idlan’s date for circumcision. Wednesday morning. 4th December. He seemed fine with all the arrangements. We would also be having his kenduri the weekend before, on the Sunday 1st December. Mum had a check-up with the Ophthalmologist. She had some cataracts which might be bothering her in the coming years. But nothing yet needed to be done at the moment.

It was just before noon when we had the registrations and paperwork done. It would be a Day Care procedure and I would be taking a couple of days off after the Wednesday. Cancelling a clinic or two.

Thanks Heaven

It was threatening to rain when I ended my morning clinic but when reached the Doctor's Lounge after the Friday prayers, the heavens opened. And boy, did it rain?

Nice breeze instead of the hot sun while walking to and from the mosque, and I was lucky that it only started to rain when I got back to the hospital. It rained but wasn't as heavy as it was on Thursday. Thursday's storm was a major one!

On Call Again

Another Friday and another call. It had been OK so far, but the fact that I was on call just brought my mood down a touch. The weather outside was gloomy, but at least it wasn't hazy. Or was it not?

Just finished my rounds and was feeling peckish. The only relief I could reasonably go to at this hour would be to the mamak stall down the road. Could do with an early dinner, and this evening I was planning to spend the time at the Doctor's lounge watching tennis. It would be the Men's semifinals tonight and I was expecting some epic matches.

Hopefully the call would be gentle and I would be able to watch some bot of the match.

Gorgeous Friday Morning

Wow! Such gorgeous weather outside, while I'm slaving away stuck in door. Believe it or not, I have wrapped up my morning clinic although I still have a few patients to see in the afternoon.

So, it looks like I have a couple of hours to my self. Hmmm! What should I do? .....

Friday Blues?

Feeling down this morning even though the news was half expected. United were outplayed again by Bilbao in Spain, and we were now out of Europe. I was also sad to learn that Eric Abidal, the Barcelona left back would be needing a liver transplant. I thought the successful operation last ear to remove a tumour in his liver was a success. Obviously, we have yet to learn of the full story. Wishing him luck though, for a fellow Moslem.

Looking forward to a long weekend, being on call tomorrow, followed with a period covering my colleague next week. This would be followed by a couple of weekends with commitments. I have signed up for a couple events, and in between, would have to prepare the lectures.

As for today, I was still feeling tired recovering from the Kota Bharu trip, the Tuesday call and the trips to the gym. Wouldn't mind a night in tonight but I'm sure my boys had something else in mind. It would be Friday evening after all, and we always eat out.

Happy Friday!
