Mum Fell Down ....!

My Mum fell down in the kitchen in the early morning, just a few days after my family and I visited them in Penang at end Sept.

X-ray and MRI showed that she has fractured her hip bone and the ball portion of the leg bone has to be replaced but the socket is still good. Surgery was the only solution.

My younger sister, Sook Wei , and her daughter, Amy, flew back to Penang immediately to assist my elder sister, Sue.
I met them at Changi airport when they were in transit to Penang.

Subsequently, I also flew back to help with keeping Mum company in her ward the whole day.

It was a painful experience for Mum and a challenging time for the family too.

Mum is now back home and slowly recovering.

We got a night nurse to help look after her now.

I will be flying back to visit her in Nov and with the family in Dec too.

Happy Birthday ..... !!!

We celebrated my birthday a week earlier as I have to fly back to Penang to help care for my Mum, who fell down and had to go for an operation.



Here I am with my Mum in LWE hospital Penang, where I spent my birthday with her in her ward.


In the evening, my sisters gave my Dad and I a cake for our birthdays as my dad's birthday is also in Oct, about about 2 weeks after mine.

Another year older and wiser, hopefully,..... ha... ha......!!!
