Gone by the wind

In early March, I wrote to doctor Izmi, (head of Rehabilitation Department). I asked him to help me that I can be walk and also to be independent. Few days later, I received a called from his nurse saying they will arrange a date for me to meet him. 

I prayed and waited that doctor Izmi will be free to see me.  Two weeks ago, I received a call from the Rehab nurse to come as doctor wanted to see me.  This time I saw another Malay lady doctor. She told me doctor Izmi was attending some meeting. So she took over. We talked one to one as for more than an hour as there are no other patients’.

She told me the truth and fact. Because of my sickness, I cannot walk without someone helping me. If I insist to walk, I may fall down which may hurt my back. (I had a major operation on my spine) That is why I cannot fall down. I only can walk for a short distance as an excises.  Due to my left ankle which is bent, so I also cannot walk steadily.

She also told me that due to my spasm, I cannot be completely independent. I will always need someone to help. When I heard that, my heart sank slightly, but I still try my best to do whatever things I can do.

I have to face the real fact that I cannot walk independently and I totally cannot be independent.  The things I dreamt of have been vanish. This is God's will for me and I have to accept it.

If I’m given a chance either to walk or to be independent, I would prefer to be independent. Because I can do anything I want without waiting for someone help and go anywhere I like.

Watching movies in the cinema

Since January till March I went to watch three movies in the cinema. I enjoyed watching thriller/action movies as it keep you in suspend and wanting to know what is happening next.

Sadly throughout last year, I only watched one thriller movie in the cinema. For one thing, I didn’t go out much. Sometimes, when my friends and I planned to watch movie, we couldn’t make it.   Sometimes, I yearned to go to the cinema, but no one in my family was free to bring me out. So I accepted it.

It is an enjoyment to watch movies. Even though I had to pay to buy a ticket without sitting on the chair, it was worth it. But sitting on the chair is surely nicer and comfortable. There is no one to transfer me to the chair. So I will have sit on my wheelchair.

I’m happy the last few months I get to watch few movies by myself.
