Adnin is in OT at this moment...

The time has come for Adnin's knee operation. We got in at ward ED34 at around 10.45am, waited for awhile at the play room for the bed to be ready. She is placed at the space bay bed 3. At around 2.40 pm, she was pushed to the operation theater. I sent her until they put her on anesthetic, kissed her and here I'm at Greenfield library of QMC. I hope everything will go well and Adnin will have her straight legs as she wishes...

I'd better get back to the ward as it is quite a long way to the east block. The hospital is so huge!

Hospital bed for Adnin

The occupational therapist called this morning to inform that they will send in hospital bed for Adnin for her post-operation. Our dining room will be turned into a recovery room then. Jane was asking whether she might need a commode. What is a commode? I've never heard of it before. Well, it's actually a movable toilet so that Adnin can easily "does it" at the room. But knowing Adnin, she might not be able to do it there. So I told Jane that she might not need it. Besides, our toilet is quite near for me to carry her when she needs to go to the toilet.

It's amazing to see how they treat patients here which we can never get in our home country. I remember when my mother had her total knee replacement operation, I bought a new bed for her to ensure that she is comfortable. Well, it doesn't take long for the return favour, as somebody else is doing for Adnin when she needs it...
