Now that I have limited movements and usage on my injured hands, I have no choice but to rely on the little ones at home. My girls have been pretty obedient since yesterday — helping to wash their own cups and plates after meals, Cass bathed herself with me standing next to her telling her what to do, whilst Alycia helped me to towel dry Cass, put baby oil on her baby sister, combed her hair and helped Cass to put on a diaper before bedtime. It’s really heartwarming to see my angels roping in to help me in dire straits. I could even muster a laugh towards bed time. I was feeling really down and in great pain the whole of yesterday but when I saw how my girls had helped me and cheering me on when I screamed out in pain during dressing of my wound (I cleaned the wound with alcohol swab, super OUCH!!), I got comfort and solace from my 3 cuties.  Even the mil asked me not to wash the dishes but stubborn me just cannot stand the oily floor after cooking. So I wore 2 layers of gloves (a pair of disposable plastic gloves followed by a pair of disposable rubber gloves) when I moped the floor and did simple chores… in slow motion. Today, my whole body felt as if I had carried 10kg of weights in the gym yesterday and I could barely stretch my hands to scratch my back! The impact of the fall, landing my hands on hard, pokey tarred road had not only caused exposed wound but aches all over my body.
Alycia sacrificing 10 mins of her sleep time last night to help me wash Cass’ cup after her sister finished drinking soy bean milk. She also lent me a hand when I dressed up my wound… while Cass and Sher cheered on and kissed me.

Fresh exposed flesh… as painful as my 3 C-sect ops!

get well soon.. that part of the hand is normally painful! Glad the 3 girls are helpful and behaving well.. take care
So good of your girls. So nice that they love you so much.
Ouch!!!! Get well soon…take care.
Oh no… wish you speedy recovery… isn’t it better to leave the wound dry when you go to sleep instead of covering it up, apply lots of antiseptic. Luckily the girls are helpful…
injure and still can hold camera ah?? sorry .. a bad joke ..
It’s heart warming seeing your 3 angels help to do house works … well done, Shireen’s 3 angels!
It is better not to do any housechores at this moment until the wound is fully recovered. Takecare..
It is so nice the little ones are helping out. This will be a valuable life lesson that family members help one another! I see that you are using Tegaderm or something similar on your wounds and they are getting oozy and the skin becoming white. This will delay healing. Let the wounds be exposed to air at nite to dry and heal. If you still feel icky, just a piece of dry gauze with a piece of tape.
Looking at the photos, I think they still hurts a lot. Glad that you have train your three angels well! They are very helpful! Lots of hugs and kisses to them for taking good care of mummy.
it’s hurts by looking at the wound, I can imagine how hurts you feel during dressing time because I went through c-section twice before. Hang on there, you will recover soon.
One more thing…don’t use alcohol to clean the wounds unless u enjoy pain. I’d recommend hydrogen peroxide..it is an antiseptic and also works wonders at removing blood stains from clothes etc. It doesn’t sting like alcohol, also quite cheap (available at dollar stores here).
oh my goodness!!! Shireen, initially it doesn’t look this bad. Try to expose to the air more instead of bandage it up so the wound can heal and dry quickly. Left the messy house aside first, don’t worry too much on getting chores done. Most importantly u must heal quickly. Take care, hugs to you!
Ouch! Take care.
