Mother's health

Send mother to the hospital this morning for the follow-up on her right index finger. Went there at 10.10am. Don't really know where to go. Asked the nurses and was shown to the right place. It's at the old block, opposite Block D. Had to wait for about an hour before she was asked to see the doctor. Too many people today wanting to see the doctor.

The doctor took out her bandage. I can see the stitches on her finger. Thank God that the wounds are dried-up. The doctor said that the stitches can be taken out today. So, off we went to another side of the block where we have to wait again. Only by 12noon was she able to go in and had her stitches taken out. While the nurse pulled out the stitches, I can see mother controlling herself because of the pain. Thank God that there are only about 5-6 stitches. The nurse said that it is not necessary to wrap her finger but mother requested for it. She's afraid that without any cover on her finger, it would be painful if she were to accidentally knock her finger on something.

Then we went to visit Michelle brother's wife who has given birth to a baby girl at 4am that day. The girl has thick hair. Mom commented that she can be fair as her face skin is reddish. Stayed there for a while before we went to Bro Andrew's house in Alor Gajah. Mom will stay there until the maid arrives. That is something which we all don't know when.
