Took Mom to SGH for a checkup. Together with the younger Sis, we trudged away nicely to the Clinic. After which, we went over to SNEC for Mom's eye appointment. Sis and I had a nice chat in the semi-darkened waiting room of the eye checkup area. It even made me want to fall asleep (early morning today !) !
Not a long wait as before but, suffice to say, it's hell being ill in this country. Everything is so expensive, even with the government subsidies. Especially so if it's a chronic disease like Type II diabetes. You know, the constant monitoring of food intake and the popping of pills to regulate the insulin levels. Seriously, no jokes.
Maybe that is why I am pretty optimistic about not living beyond a certain age. With my genes, who can survive adulthood ?
After the doctor's visit, we stop by Wak's place. You know for Hari Raya visiting and such. It was a good day, overall. It was basically food and more food day today. *rubs tummy happily*
We might do this again next week for another followup appointment. Hopefully my leave application is granted !
