妈在疗养院。。。 Mum at Nursing Home…

自从五月中妈摔倒到现在已半年时间,老人家真的是不能摔倒,跌断了大腿骨,手术过后至今还不能自己走路。。。
Since mid-May mum suffered a fall and broke her thigh bone till now, it has been half a year, the elderly really must not fall as even after the operation, she still cannot walk on her own…

行动不便的她,这几个月来都由我古晋的几个姐姐轮流照顾和服侍,那绝对不是简单的任务。。。我则是在精神和经济上支持。。。
Due to her immobility, these few months my sisters who live in Kuching have been taking turns to take care of and serve her, it is not an easy feat… I can only support in spirit and finance…

但这个月,大姐自己需要动手术(大姐也是婆婆级了),二姐和三姐也有宣教行程。。。所以在无计可施之下,跟妈讨论过后,大家皆认为暂住在疗养院几个星期最安全和理想。。。结果她已在我尚在台湾时入住了古晋狮子会疗养院,至今已一星期,1月13日就会回到大姐家。。。
But this month, my eldest sister has to go for an operation herself (she is already a grandma herself(, my 2nd and 3rd sister both have mission trips… So when we were at our wits’ end, and after discussing with mum, we all thought the best and safest option was to let her stay at a nursing home temporarily for a few weeks… Consequently she had moved into Kuching Lions Nursing Home even when I was still in Taiwan, it has been one week now and will stay till Jan 13th before she returns to my eldest sister’s home…

我们当然有先调查疗养院的设备、环境等等,加上妈也愿意,才会让她暂住那边。。。那边有固定饮食时间、运动、治疗、训练等等,短短一个星期就看到妈的气色、脚力等有明显进步。。。
We of course studied the facilities, environment etc of the nursing home first, plus with mum’s willingness, before we let her stay there for a while… They have regular meal times, exercise, physio-therapy, training etc, and within just a short one week, there is obvious improvement in mum’s countenance, legs etc…

我每天都去探望她,第一天我自己有点不习惯,就想联络朋友尽量帮我找能入住的护士照顾妈,把她接回我家。。。结果妈拒绝了,原因是:在我家好像被关在笼子里的小鸟!!!
哈哈哈,原来她在那边有新朋友聊天,有运动、游戏,还有很多弟兄姐妹来探望她,她觉得生活在那边比较没有那么无聊!
I visit her everyday, and on my first day I was not used to the environment, so I wanted to contact friends to somehow look for a nurse who can stay at my house to look after my mum and move her back to my place… As a result, mum rejected the idea, reason being: she would feel like a bird trapped in a cage at my place!!!
Hahaha, that is because she has new friends to talk to over there, regular exercise, games and many brothers and sisters who come to visit her, so she feels life is not that boring there!

大姐说,搞不好到时她还不想回家呢!哈哈!
看我昨天跟她玩自拍!
My sister said who knows in the end she does not even feel like coming home! Haha!
See we photographed ourselves yesterday!

有人看了以上的照片说我跟妈长得很像,会吗?也有人说我比较像爸爸,你们说呢?(爸现在已经在天上了。。。)
Some saw thw above photo and said I really look like my mum, do you think so? And there are some who think I look more like my dad, what say you? (Dad is already in heaven now…)
