Heavier Than Expected

I woke up late this morning after going back to bed after sahur. All due to staying up to watch the cycling at the Olympics last night. Woke up at 9, scrambled to shower, then out to get for my morning rounds - no clinic today being Wednesday morning. I was not expecting the traffic to be bad this morning, and I ended up getting into the ward just past 10.

Luckily I did not have that many to see, and soon, everything was sorted out again. Apparently, the traffic jam was just due to the sheer number of cars. It eased off right after the LDP intersection, about one kilometres from the hospital. I should have used the NPE instead if I were to leave a bit later than usual ….

Merdeka Came Early

So, Merdeka was coming round the corner and just by the lift from my ward, I was greeted by this. A tad too early must admit.

Some good news at least. Just found that coming Monday would be a public holiday for Selangor. An unexpected day off for me. But Anita had already have some plans in store. Here one shopping I was sure.

It's Friday

First thing I did when I woke up this morning was to check the weather. Hmmm! Gloomy from the looks of things. Not really sure weather if it was an overcast day or the haze was back. None the less, it was a weather not conducive to getting out of bed and heading for work. But somebody had to do so.

Good morning to everyone! It was Friday after all, so cheer up!

Free Morning

Irfan developed temperature again overnight, and I suspect that he may have had some trapped mucous in his lungs causing it. The temperature settled agin this morning, but we planned to take him to see his Paediatrician later today.

The original plan was to bring him in this morning. But it turned out that his Paediatrician only has afternoon clinic on Wednesdays. So, Anita had to bring him alone later as I have my own clinic then.

As for the morning, I was free. I usually venture for back fast in Bangsar after my ward round - I purposefully do not have clinics on Wednesday morning. A nice mid-week free time I built into my schedule since is joined Subang. But this being Ramadan, I was just stuck here at the apartment reading the news and doing some paperwork. And the weather outside was gorgeous as well .....

Back to Work

I must say that by the time I started my clinic yesterday afternoon, I was close to having a hypo. It was the first day back after a week away, and even waking up yesterday morning after sahur was a drag. I finally muster my energy to get up, and was stuck in a huge traffic jam entering Subang Jaya. Not a great start.

The afternoon clinic was also busier than I expected. But managed to get through in one piece. So, the second day today was not as bad, although I only have a morning clinic, and it was a short one. I spent the afternoon at my apartment, and will only return for the afternoon ward round at around 3 pm. Just a couple of patients to review before calling it the day hopefully.

A quick phone call back home, and Puan Anita and the boys were already out to do some groceries. Anita was really keen to get her Raya shopping done early to avoid the late rush. So, last night, we went out to our usual card shop at IKANO to get some Raya greetings card and duit Raya pouches sorted out. More about that later.
