dad is currently home now. discharged last Tuesday. I made the decision to attend my training half day and was grateful that the chairman and the trainer was very understanding.

my father has always been an independent person, he never relied on any one. and although I think he would willingly go home on his own, I cannot let that happen. Siti and Khidhir managed to see him first on Tuesday and report back to us about his scan that morning and whether dad can really return home. once I got the confirmation, at around lunchtime, I was able to go straight to the hospital. I think my siblings kind of liked the sense of importance and responsibility of taking care of dad. sat through with Dad while the pharmacist explained in detail of all the medicines he has to take. there’s about close to 10 meds he needs to take daily.

and I have to admit, for once, I made regular visits to hougang ave 8 just to check up on him. he definitely is recovering and looking well, and staying true to his promise. I just thought this ordeal is almost a reminder to me to start taking well care of my parents. already my mother is looking frail and sickly, I had to tell her to stop whatever supplementary pills she’s taking and to concentrate on her actual medicine. all these products out there, I don’t know, now I feel like I cannot trust them. because my mother is looking too thin and my dad had this heart attack. maybe they are not to be blamed 100%, but who knows. supposed to be keeping them healthy! and their diabetes is nowhere lessened from taking these supplementary.

I need to take an active role back in that house. I left the house too long that things are getting disorganized. I don’t mind rushing there during lunch, cook something simple but healthy for dad and rush back to work, after work cook for dear hubby also. I really don’t mind doing that. I have to think through my life table again. just few posts ago, I was saying that I need to reschedule my life table due to my night classes, now I have to put in the hougang ave 8 into consideration. May or may not be long term, but I guess, it needs to be done somehow. it’s just me to be taking up and doing everything, taking care of everything and than I drown in exhaustion. balance, Seri, balance.

oh I have to say my siblings have been very helpful around the house too, and they need the encouragement. I guess we are all moving into that adulthood phase. the responsible adult. I have always been proud of them and their achievements. we will do well.

and also giving my full attention to my dear one and only hubby. this is another boy I have to give my heart and care too. but this, I will do with all my heart.
