I read an article in The Star and together with a gentle reminder from a blogger friend, I decided to find out more about leptospirosis.
It is especially relevant to a town like Sibu which has just recovered from the effects of a flood. The people are advised to go for post-flood medical check-ups.

This week I want to share with you about the Aedes mosquito and the Chikungunya virus. Sort of combining a public service announcement for local readers while at the same time submitting an entry for monochrome maniacs.

I met a very old lady today. She was remarkably strong for her age. She had come to sell some vegetables.

We had been urgently looking for occupational therapy equipments/positioning equipment but they are very expensive and beyond our budget. However there is a limit to the access of such equipment at the general hospital.

Through the net, we managed to find something like this. Our first thought was to replicate it. However our patient is not a little boy but an adult therefore heavier.

We faced a daunting task when we had to take care of a stroke patient. In the first place, we are not medical personnel. Furthermore, sending her to a nursing home required a huge sum of money monthly which we couldn’t afford. Some how or other we had to manage.

Many people feel quite uncertain on how they will cope with caring for a stroke survivor at home. If you are the main carer, the most important things are to:
1. Get information about what services and support are available for rehab
2. Do not do everything yourself. Get practical help with daily routine
3. Be flexible
4. Give your self a regular break

I had to take the afternoon off to send a friend over for physiotherapy at the Sibu General Hospital. The car park was full and I had to go a few rounds. I didn’t mind. The hospital is actually a beautiful place.

I am still feeling very tired and in the market for an Indonesian maid and phoning around so far without success. Early this morning I passed the Jalan Oya Policlinic and saw some people there as early as 0640 at the gates. I asked them what they were doing and they told me they were bringing wheelchair bound patients and they wanted to be there early so the patients can go home early too.

Next time you suffer from migraine, a headache or generally feel too stressed, don’t automatically look for a pain killer or panadol. There are many ways to solve the problem.
This post is not really a post. I found this search item on my blog today a few times. I just pray whoever searched for it finds all the resources she needs. I think it is probably a she and she will do this search item again. She has done it a few times already.
Abortion is usually the last option. It should be carefully considered. A child is the most precious gift HE can give to a couple. If the mother is facing problems, there must be someone she can talk to. The fact that this person used search on internet suggests to me, she is well educated and young and not a mother with too many kids. Of course I may be wrong.
I fear it is ‘a person in search of help’. I pray that God will guide you as you go through this very difficult period. Please try to find someone you can trust to talk to. Please try to get a second opinion.
Whatever it is you finally do, May God be with you. I shall be praying for you and some of my readers too I believe. Sometimes when things seem the bleakest, call out to God and he will answer. Ask for help and guidance. An abortion is very final. It cannot be undone.
Anybody with this information, please comment and submit the relevant information. Thank you.
