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.

Feeling Lazy

Now that I was winding down before going on a break tomorrow, I felt really lazy. Luckily, I have not that many patients left in the ward although there were a couple of admissions this morning, which will be discharged tomorrow. I also have some paperwork to sort out by tomorrow morning, so I thought I might as well get on with things.

The weather outside was also very nice, making me kind of depressed having to stay in. I wish that the weather would be just as nice tomorrow morning when we set off to Fraser's Hill. In the meantime, I better get on with the job ...

Me at 40

Cue in the mid-life crisis as I turned 40 today. Spent the best part of the morning clinic replying to all the well-wishes on Facebook. Thanks again for all the kind and some time not-so-kind remarks. Great fun.

For some reason, Anita was convinced that I was on call today when she woke up this morning. She was close to pack up my stuff for the day. Is that a sign that I was past it? Time to get rid of me I think? After all, she's still in her 30s. Only just .....

Google wishing me Happy Birthday

For some reason, clinic this morning was also full. Managed to go through them pretty fast as there were not much problem in the ward. some procedure to finish up the afternoon as I didn't have clinic on Tuesday afternoons. At least I would have next week off ..... Looking forward to that.

In the meantime, where should I have dinner tonight. We went to Makan Kitchen at Double Tree last night but we arrived there late. And the food was not that fresh by then. So, I woke up this morning starving. need to make up for that tonight ....
