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.
Finally, what has been discussed behind closed doors is again discussed openly. The discovery came quite accidentally. Men who had been bitten by the Phoneutria nigriventer or Brazilian Wandering Spider experienced priapism - long and painful erections. It refused to go down.
This prompted the idea by Brazilian and US scientists into looking into using spider venom as a possible treatment for male impotence. From their investigations, they found that the venom contains a toxin, called Tx2-6, that causes erections. However don’t go looking for Phoneutria nigriventer. Its bite can kill sometimes.
Further tests are being carried out in the US before the substance can be approved for human use.
At this juncture, scientists are of the opinion that a combination of the spider’s venom with an existing drug for erectile dysfunction - such as Viagra, Cialis or Levtra could produce better results.
Pharmacies and local drug stores will have to stock up on Panadol or paracetamol because suddenly there will be a worldwide epidemic of housewives suddenly ‘having a headache’.
Malaysians are very fortunate that they have access to medical care for as little as RM1.00. This is something many Malaysians take for granted. For RM5.00 they can even see a specialist. Granted, by and by service is not perfect or immediate but it is available.
For me, I do not take this for granted. I do go to the hospital clinics and hospitals. Why not? They have quality medicine. The mighty ringgit a foreigner told me when I told him I only paid RM1.00 for a visit to the hospital.

It is easier to be a barber, teacher, or a beautician rather than a doctor. Most people equate doctors with bad news. They are a necessary evil in life. I laugh as I wonder what Bernard or doc will think as they read this .
We need them. They are essential in our lives but we don’t want to visit them in a professional capacity.

It is not fair I know but some neighbours of a guy I know are casting a wary eye on his property nowadays. There’s nothing they can do. He was there before them. There is a smell around the whole area and the water in the drains nearby stink. The reason? Read more »
Is your child stressed? Are you stressing your child too much with high expectations from them for achievements that you yourself were not able to achieve?
Nowadays, kids are facing a lot of stress and lead highly structured lives from the time they wake up to the time they sleep. They have their schooling, co-curricular activities, after school tuition classes, piano lessons, computer lessons, language classes and religious lessons. It is no wonder kids feel bored when left alone to their own resources.
