understand...jet lag is the hardest to recover. as the body immunity is low at this time, it's best for the kids to stay at home at least for these few days.

you are welcome.
as this is the last week of the holidays, we want our kids to be well and ready for a busy term ahead.
as it is, my pigs here are having problems waking up in the morning.
can't expedite recovery from jetlag though. please take care.

I got no choice arh. Hv to tahan even tho hv headache & sleepy & tired. Our elderly need our attention.


No joke. A fall can become a need for major op. So much risks involved in fractured hip, as doc adv may affect kidney, then may result in need for kidney transfusion, etc.

I was perplexed, trying to absorb all these new info & hv to evaluate a Community Hospital suitable for recovery period. Saw a lot of negative feedback on the outwardly nice looking Ng Teng Fong Hospital. Hv to evaluate Jurong Community Hospital or the Renci Community Hospital.

Hv to rotate duties amongst SILs, but mostly in my shoulders as they’ve very young kids & one niece in PSLE year, whilst ano SIL hv father in palliative care too. No luxury to rest & recover fr jetlag alr.

who will look after your kids while you attend to FIL? take care of yourself too.
for the elderly, a fall is no laughing matter because their bones are weak.
step down hospital during recovery is expensive. ex-neighbour stayed at st luke for 1 month after his knee replacement surgery. 加油.

Thanks Janet. :thankyou:

MIL very tired out alr, more coz of anxieties. Cooked her favorite pumpkin soup as she had no appetite. Made it extra thick to give that substantive feel for her stomach.

FIL will be operated on tonite. Long drawn till next morn I think. The need a lot of time ore- & post op observation, before cleared for pushing back to ward.

Yes. Was told recuperation @ Community Hospital need at least 1 mth or 2 due to age. Also, op comes with risks esp hip near kidney. They took a whole day to prep scan his heart to determine he's suitable for op. Thot it'll be tmr op but seems things rolling fast.

esteema,
you're really filial.
just back from long holiday and having jetlag...yet have to function as per normal.
please take good care. kids need you too.

after the op, your FIL will have to stay in high dependency ward before he is cleared to be pushed back to the normal ward.
