I'm back again...

It has been more than half a year not blogging. Lazy..is one of the reasons. But I chose to come back as i have something to let it out.

Mom had a stroke 3 weeks ago. This time the striking is quite significant as her left side is so weak. She can't stand on her own and can't walk. She was admitted for a week and during that time is pretty tough for us. We took turns to take leave and take care of her even after she discharged. Thank God both my sis able to come back from spore for few days to take care of mum so that we can go to work. We knew this gonna be continuous for a few months unless we manage to hire a care giver to look after mom. With the current help of my dad and the maid is not enough. Since mom can't move, we need 3 person to carry her.

Because of mom's situation, I have changed a lot. I've changed to be more patient because mom now is very slow motion. She need to eat very liquid stuff cuz she can't chew and so we have to make sure we cut all the food as thin as possible. I bought cook book and learn how to cook. I understand everyone is not really in a good mood and stress for work and mom. So I learn to cook for the family when i'm on leave. I've changed to explore more on stroke article and physio exercise in the net. My relationship with 2nd elder sister has improved. We talked a lot and share the responsibility together since it is only 2 girls at home. I took the initiative to drive her out to supermarket/market to buy some stuff. Brother has became very long winded and easy to raise up his temper when something we did not right to mom. I have learnt not to challenge back and not to comment anything but to listen and obey. Cuz I don't want to create any quarrel and unhappy moment.

Actually each and everyone of us had the same objective, is to see mom recover. Just that each of us treating mom differently. There is no need to raise up the temper to any of the family members. There is no need to compare who did more and who did less. Everyone have enough of stress and worried already. Why can't we have a better tone to talk to each other?
