Arini hampir berkampung di hospital. My 1st follow up with orthopaedic clinic after suffering from hip joint pain since April. Masa tu lah nak naik Rinjani, in May pulak nak ke Kashmir. Bertangguh-tangguh, finally ke klinik and referred to hospital. So bertambah lah sesi ke hospital i.e. untuk asthma, ENT and orthopaedic. For someone who has been trying to take care of her health, that's a LOOOTTTT of trip to the hospital. Tabah jer lah.
So dah sampai hospital, parking satu hal. Menunggu pulak satu hal. Nasib baik ada one lady macam sama2 timing with me and chit chat dengan dia. Everytime nak ke washroom, I just tinggalkan my big x-ray envelope and dia tolong tengok2kan. Mula2 no giliran di pendaftaran. Berzaman gak menunggu. Lepas dapat masuk klinik, another no giliran pulak. Mula2 the place was so full sampai takder seat. Later dapat juga tempat duduk and lagi sekali duduk sama2 with the lady I chit chatted with earlier. Dah biasa appointment hospital, I'll bring something untuk alas perut. My cut fruits from breakfast ada lagi. So makan buah and plain water untuk tahan lapar.
Masa jumpa doctor, he recommended physio and my next appointment will be after 2 months. I asked him if it is safe for me to do all my activities... cycling, hiking, zumba, planking. His reply, I will have to be the judge based on my level of pain. Kalau hiking macam Broga ok lah kata dia. In other words, no gunung yet. Hmm... diam jer lah. Let's see how the physio goes. He also said if I have difficulty controlling urination and bowel movement, to come to he hospital immediately. Huh! Boleh jadi sampai macam tu sekali!!! Setakat ni hip joint pain which will turn to back pain and numbness belakang paha. Sometimes, sakit sampai tapak kaki. The pain is getting more noticeable now after few months kena lanyak jugak kaki ni.
Belum selesai lagi urusan hospital. Ambil appointment date for physio, went to the x-ray department to get them to digitize my x-ray film but it's lunch time already. Have to wait till after 2. I might as well go and have lunch myself. After lunch, went to 2 pharmacies to get medication for my 3 clinics. Alang2 dah dekat sini, nanti tak payah datang lagi. They normally give specific dates for my periodic medication supply but I never follow those dates. Nasib baik farmasi operational during lunch time. Habis urusan farmasi, just nice ke x-ray department lagi sekali. Waited for 45 minutes dengan guruh berdentum-dentam. Mesti hujan lebat di luar.
Habis urusan, tercegat sekejap dekat pintu and tengok keadaan hujan. I don't mind heavy rain as long as not too windy. Otherwise ada payung pun basah. After about 5 minutes, decided to get my car. Alhamdulillah... reached home around 3.30 pm. Nak merayap tempat lain pun hujan. Balik jer lah. Paling best dapat luruskan pinggang di rumah sendiri, sangat selesa walaupun hujan lebat kat luar. Bersyukur dengan kemudahan dalam kehidupan. Many are not as lucky.
So dari sebelum 8 pagi dah keluar rumah, hampir seharian urusan hospital jer. All the walking around the hospital, I just imagine that's my workout for the day. Next appointment will be in December. See you next time lah yer hospital.
