Not all of us can do great things during our lifetime, but we can surely do many small things with great passion and love.

16th Update – Taking the Train

20th week after Knee ACI

Have been using and handling the walking stick fairly well. As I had to attend a workshop in town during the past two days, I decided to take the MRT train, but was unsure how I would cope travelling in a crowded train. However, it turned out well. Made 4 trips over the two days and on every occasion someone would give up their seat for me. This really reaffirmed my faith in the kindness of Singaporean. One on them was seating with his young son – he asked his son to sit on his lap and signaled me to take the vacated seat.

My eye is also recovering well and the redness in the eye has subsided. I’m still required to instill the eye drops, but I need to do this only 4 times a day now, as instructed by the eye doctor.

My mother is still in hospital. Doctor said her conditions have improved, although she still felt sharp pains on her spine whenever she shifted her position in bed. As there would not be further treatment other than complete rest in bed, we were asked to transfer her to a community hospital, so that she can continue her daily physiotherapy session and cared for by nurses. She is now recuperating in St Luke Hospital in Bukit Batok.
