Let's make every moment count. There's unfortunate situation to everyone of us. To me, as long as I'm still breathing, I have all the reasons to enjoy every single day out of it. Not long ago, I made a post regarding my episode of medical emergency, it took away my left side mobility, partial of my senses are gone.
Well, as long I'm not bed ridded, I will find my way out of the house. I don't care even if I have to roll myself downstairs, I will do it. I made some calls and found my physiotherapist. She's a hot little chili pepper that will not hesitate to punish me even if I dare to slack a little. Technically, I pay her to have my butt kicked, so I work extra harder to recover my ass off from this bloody sickness.
Other than the acupuncture, massages and electrotherapy, I have a list of physicals I should practice on a daily basis. I like to play computer games, with the on going sick leave, it's a giant holiday for me to sit Infront of the computer playing games for extended hours without worrying about work. So, I have designed a series of exercises at my computer desks.
There's worry of over exercising which I am now doing super long walk with a walking stick. I have no problem walking without it, but it as seriously/heavily/almost non negotiable advised by my physiotherapist I should have one. The reason is, god know when my good leg give up. With the aspirin and anti clot medication in my system, I can't afford a fall. If a fall causes any slight internal bleeding, then that's it.
Home minister is still quite worrying if I over do it. I did consult a second opinion from the government physio gymnasium, the answer is there's no limit for basic walking movement. I can do all day if I want to, as long as the workout doesn't kill my good limbs. Reason for this is, my brain will automatically compensate my movement when I have one side of weak limbs.
Never in my life can I imagine I will have to relearn so many things at this age. Even swallowing food can be a chore. I can feel food going down, and I can feel where the food is going through the passage, and I need to consciously to learn to contract my throat to send those food down.
At this point of time, any given opportunity to me is an extra, is a bonus. Nothing in our life shall we took granted for. A simple mix rice without meat, can be just as tasty as... Well, I wanted to say taste better than meat. I guess, whatever I have tasted now, my haywired brain couldn't process the signal that well. I even accidentally burnt my tongue while trying to gulp in a bowl of piping hot congee.
