Haven been blogging these few days cos very tired and busy with the maid and ah gong returning home from hospital. Just trying to get work for the maid is tiring. Cos she's new so to teach her wat to do means i got to show her wat to do first... I am so tired bcos of that. Then I gotta keep reminding myself to buy her dinner even when I dun want to eat. Aiyo... tired man...
Ah gong came back yesterday. He is very happy he's finally back home and has been sleeping the whole of yesterday. Very glad. But then bcos he's been in hospital, so he's used to doing the "big & small" on pampers. One pc of pampers cost 80cents. Estimated that he uses 5pcs per day. So it's $4 per day; $120 per month. Alot of money so Vic was a bit "burdened" abt it and sourcing out how to spend lesser by getting from JB. Still, we're just so happy ah gong is back. Jia you yi lao, ru you yi bao.
Went to buy tis lip balm that Sandra recommended. It's reali very good... My lips stop cracking and peeling after I used it! The rest of you looking for lip balm, i strongly recommend this too!! But its $35 hor... Ha.
Finally, bought mooncake from Bengawan Solo for MIL and my mum. I think it's quite nice. Incidentally, the lady that served me oso went thru the Thyroid op before. Her scar was reali just a thin fair line that you won't notice if u didn't look for it on her neck. So I hope mine will be like tat too. :)
O ya.. Yesterday, it's the first time after one month that I sat with the members in the service. Worship was very good. Wept in the presence of God. Felt very encouraged and challenged in during worship and word. Many tots going thru my mind. Just can't wait till I totally recover from this. I couldn't even sing the worship song except mouthing the words and tis has caused my voice to become a bit hoarse. And worse after the fellowship with the CG, my voice was horrible. The guys made me laugh so badly. Tim's super racist jokes almost drove me to "murder" him repeatedly with a stick of Oreo bar. Haha.. Later at nite, Adam smsed me to take care. Felt so loved. Hee. I'm just glad that he's back for the last 2 wks. I hope by the end of year, I will hv the rest back again at the thanksgiving CGM. And this time, we will be stronger and more mature than last yr. We will all become better. I'm sure the CG is glad that we have all grown stronger even tho we have gone thru some downs...
All things work together for good to those who love God and to those who are called according to His purpose.

Hahaha! I am glad the lip balm has served you well! =)
:). Glad u enjoyed fellowshipping with us. We missed you laa! >_<
Anw an advice, try not to let ur ah gong be too dependent on the diapers. The long term effects of diapers are not very good. First he'll lose his own bowel control cuz of over-reliance. Then possible chance of developing pressure sores cuz if nv change the diapers in time, all the moisture can make the skin break down easier. Somemore old ppl skin alr not good. And note, pressure sores are like SUPER painful >_<.
What I'd recommend will be to teach ur ahgong. Anw he doesn't have dementia or what, easier to teach. Tell him to call u guys when he want to poo or pee even when on diapers. But don't ask him to poo or pee in the diapers!! Still bring him to the toilet when he wants to do his business. Its like toilet training la. Slowly u can wean him off diapers as much as possible. Maybe can wear at night while sleeping lor :).
U can also tell the maid to bring ah gong to loo every 2-3 hours, just to let him have a regular toileting habit. Anw, that can encourage him to walk more also ma. Hahha. Free rehab! :D. But of cuz, make sure the maid knows how to handle ur ah gong. If she anyhow hold, anyhow drag him so that he goes to the toilet, then I rather him be on the diapers :S.
Haha. I feel so nurse-y. Oops :D.
Ya. Trying to train him. The maid asked him every hour but he still peed and pooed on the pampers until it leaked to the bed yestrdy nite. Cos he's oreadi veyr reliant on pampers for 2 months leh. So now very hard to change it but we will still try...
The missys in the hosp are so irritating >_< how could they do this to ah gong lor! Grrr.
