Another week zoomed past as swiftly as the wind.
The past one week I’d been busy arranging for a cataract surgery for the mil at Pantai Hospital. So many things needed to be done from finding her a Chinese ophthalmologist for ease of conversing to arranging for her medical claim from the insurance company, going to the bank to increase her payment limit to making sure that everything is in order on the day of the surgery.
The surgery was held on Friday (yesterday). I told Alycia to accompany her grandma to the hospital as she doesn’t have any class on Fridays for this semester. They spent the entire day at the hospital. Alycia brought along her laptop and did her assignment at Starbucks and continued with the assignment when she got back at night. The assignment was due yesterday.
The surgery went smoothly and the mil is now recuperating at home. The surgery is only for one eye; she still needs another surgery for the other eye a few weeks later. The mil isn’t allowed to bend her neck with the head facing downwards, be exposed to the sunlight or do any cooking for two weeks. The girls take turns to wash grandma’s hair with grandma seated on a chair in the bathroom. When the girls are busy, I help with putting eye drops into mil’s eye (3 types of eye drops/ointment) every few hourly. I’ll also need to accompany the mil to the hospital for a follow-up checkup next week. All these will repeat after two weeks when she goes for the second surgery.
For my next one month, I’ll try to whip up really simple dishes that aren’t too messy and don’t require frying. Oil splatters freak me out! And I’ll arrange for food delivery on days that I’m too busy and tired. When the girls have to go to school, my day begins at 4.45 a.m. and waking up at this hour really zombifies me 😴🥴
Thankfully there’s excess food from hubby’s central kitchen for the past few days and I didn’t have to cook much.
Hubby’s kitchen crew whipped up a Thai-themed menu today for a client’s event and we too had these Thai food for lunch and dinner. The Thai-themed menu continues tomorrow and we’ll be having more Thai food tomorrow 😋
The cat food that I ordered for Haru was delayed for almost a month and was only delivered to me yesterday. I sent umpteen emails to Lazada (with a few ultimatum emails to warn them of impending action from my end) when no one bothered to help me locate the parcel nor acceded to my request for a refund.
