The sun is out

Well, I am finally in Malacca. Took over the nursing duties from Lorna. Today is the 1st day only. Mum is better. Tired due to the inactivity for the past 8 days and also due to the medication...I think.

Its no fun when parents get old. Guess I better experience the after care so I know what to expect when my turn comes. The main problem I think is communication. They talk but they dont listen. We talk and they also want to talk, so they dont listen. The mind isnt focus. Its travelling in all direction except in that of the speaker. I hope its isnt genetic!!!

Its also the feeling that she is helpless, I mean she thinks she is helpless. I beg to differ. I think that the elderly should as far as possible get up and do things for themselves. If they dont then their legs get weak and their mind losses the ability to focus. I hope I remember all these when I am older....hahaha

Oh well, have to wait and see.
