A Difficult Weekend

It had been a difficult weekend on a personal and professional level. I had been under the weather since Friday morning when I woke up with a headache and vertigo. The headache improved but not the vertigo. Took some medications and ended up being drowsy.

I then slept for about 18 hours on and off.

But the headache returned on Saturday morning. Went to sort my clinic out, but spent the whole afternoon with a patient of mine who I've been poking after for the past year.

It was tough.

I was back on call today and this morning had been hectic. Time to catch a breather and a quick lunch. Hopefully the rest of the calls would be OK. Luckily I have cancelled my clinic at Park City tomorrow morning. Therefore I could just concentrate on my admissions and my Day Care patients tomorrow.

Well, that was the idea.

The boys would also be starting school again on Tuesday. Anita would be packing this very moment, and we planned to move back to Gombak by tomorrow afternoon.

End of the holidays...‎

Stuck in the Rain

I thought of having a quick bite in between my admissions. I missed lunch earlier due to travelling and a heavy breakfast, so I thought it would be safe to just disappear for a while.

Unfortunately the heavens opened just as I was about to leave the restaurant. For the last 20 minutes, I had been stuck just 50 yards away from the Casualty with nothing but a putu seller shouting, "Putu! Putu!" every so often!

It had been sunny all weekend, so the rain would be a long one from the look of it....

Well, better check the RSS feed and see if there were any interesting article to read....‎

Back to Work

First day back to work after the protracted weekend and I was on call today. The last call - of four - during this Ramadan. The next one would be in the middle of next month.

Slow start, seeing my patients in the ward before setting off to Park City. Just finished off the clinic there - the last patient just called to reschedule - and an ICU referral, and it was time to dump my stuff at the apartment before heading back to Subang for an afternoon clinic and start of the call.

Looks like there's going to be some construction going on ...Anita would be dropping by with food for berbuka later. I've already stocked in for sahur, and tomorrow would be my weekly no-clinic day. Hopefully the call would be kind to my weary body - both physically and mentally. ‎

Football Time. Finally.

Done with the admissions and now time to enjoy some football. The second half of Argentina versus Belgium to be more specific. Maybe with a bit of food as I didn't have anything at the apartment for sahur later.

The game so far had been a cagey affair. This would be the first of the night. Netherlands would be playing later this morning.

The admissions had been ok so far, and hopefully I could have a nice night sleep with a quick morning round to follow. I had to visit my brother in law who was admitted at Hospital Ampang for an abscess. Looked like he may need an operation.

I might as well get this game over and done with before returning to the apartment. ‎

Time for Bed

I only managed about three hours of sleep last night but the beauty of it was I didn't get interrupted. I prefer that to six hours but being interrupted frequently. No problem with sorting out the rest of the day work, but now is better catch some sleep. Busy clinic tomorrow morning.

My in-laws were in Kota Bharu this weekend, leaving Anita to run the household in Gombak. Looked like a weekend in this weekend. She spent most of today glued in front of the TV, watching the funeral precession of the late Sultan Azlan Shah.

Good night all ... Long day tomorrow.
