Keep Your Daily Water Intake

My father’s legs are puffy as his body can’t throw away the excessive water well. He must take a specific drug to push out the water. After a week treatment, his legs are becoming so small and thin. I ask my father to still drink enough water daily; but he refused to do it as he thought it will slow down the process.

This morning, he started to feel pain around the knees and the thumbs of his legs. It looks reddish as well. I guess that it’s a sign of some unnecessary and unwanted uric acid are gathering there. Sigh. I wish that my father isn’t so stubborn and still maintain his daily water intake; though he gets infusion.The water infusion looks red as it contains vitamin. Anyway, we’re still waiting for the result of his uric acid test. Watery Wednesday

My Weekend and Blue Things that I Saw on the Street

I spent the whole weekend here, at the hospital room. This time it’s not only me and my father; my husband can also being here with us. The more the merrier, hehehe.

It’s been along time since the last time I spent my whole days at a hospital room. The last time was Sep 30th 1999, the day when my mother passed away. And now is my father turn.

His condition is much better now. Though he must eat porridge, he never complains about it and always finishes eating it. His appetite is already coming back. Last Sunday, the doctor came with the second blood test results. The creatinin, ureum, SGOT, SGPT, and leucosit numbers have been decreased into a normal range. But there are still some parts on his legs that look puffy.

It’s a pity that there isn’t any blue thing in this hospital that I can share here. I can only share blue things that I saw from a car; captured a few days ago.

Fifth Day

Yesterday night we moved into another hospital room with the same rate that has big window. It’s much better, as the previous room has no window. A few days inside it already made me felt isolated from the outside world, hehehe.

Once I knew that the room across ours was empy last afternoon, I hurriedly booked the room. The same with me, my father also felt uncomfortable with the ‘dark’ room.

Yesterday, based on the tests result, the doctor who treats my father confirmed that my father’s heart already experiences deficiency in its contraction ability. It answers the question about my father’s swollen legs. I felt grateful that this problem can be treated by only taking medicine. His other vital organs still can function well. Thank God.

For Camera Critters, I share here a few cat pictures that I took at different places.

Third Day

In fact, it’s almost my fourth day here since it’s over midnight. My husband is already sleeping now as he’s almost sleepless yesterday. I’m still trying to update my blog while accompanying my father. He can’t sleep well this night as his body is still secreting excessive water through lots of urinating.

My father’s legs look swollen. The cause is the decreasing function of his heart. Having getting treatment for three days, the progress clearly appears. His swollen legs become much thinner and he has no more stomach problem.

Dear blogger friends, thanks for all kind attention, support and prayers. It means a lot for us! Thank you so much! So sorry, I still can’t visit your great blogs. I don’t have much time to online and this hospital doesn’t provide Wi-fi. I don’t get good internet connection here. Anyway, I need to lie down and take a rest now. Have a great Friday…

Wednesday Morning at a Hospital Room

It’s just a quick update from me. I write this post from a hospital room. Nope, it’s not me who’s sick. I accompany my father since yesterday morning. He’s got stomach problem since last Sunday. My father refused to eat as he felt very nauseous. He also threw up very often.

Of course, his body became so weak. Since Tuesday, as the doctor’s suggestion, my father was hospitalized to get proper treatment. He’s given an infusion straightly.

We haven’t yet received the whole blood test results; but he already can eat some food. It’s really a good progress. Hope my father will recover soon and we can go back home soon. He’s sleeping now, so I can write this post.

For Watery Wednesday, I share here Kali Katulampa, an irrigation channel that comes from the Katulampa Dam (Bogor, West Java, Indonesia). This irrigation channel can water about 40 ha fields around.

Things on Last Weekend

Two days ago was my husband’s birthday. We didn’t celebrate it specially and I didn’t give him any birthday gift, only my prayers. In the afternoon, we left out to take him to a barber shop and have a hair cut. He has been a loyal customer for years and my husband knows every barber there.

Agus is my husband’s favorite barber. My husband has never disappointed with his job. The barber shop is a very modest one; but it has many loyal costumers. It has about five barbers and they always use maskers while working.

After getting hair cut, we dropped by to a café that we’ve never came before. I can see blue lights decoration inside. It suits for Blue Monday.

On Monday morning, we heard bad and sad news. Our beloved, Aunt Mia, has passed away that morning. She’s an older sister of my father. She didn’t get married; that’s why she’s close to all of us, her nephews and nieces. Rest in peace, Ua (Aunt) Mia, we love you so much. You’re so kind and sincere; God must be placing you in the best place.
