Taking care of mother-in-law

 
 


October-December 2020 were 2.5 memorable months in my life as I went up to Kedah and took care of my mom-in-law who broke her shoulder bone and lives alone. Other than drive her for regular appointments at Sungai Petani hospital and Padang Serai govt. clinic, I kept myself busy cleaning the house, cleaning the window panes, toilets, throwing the rubbish, watering the plants, painting fences, swing and walls, washing drying and folding clothes as well as ensure her breakfast, lunch and dinner were prepared in advance, thankfully, she had a close friend who helped cook every alternate days for a nominal fee. Upon a request from wifey to be there for a short while, I made the decision to stay with here until the doctor confirms her bone had successfully joined. I estimated based on personal experience, it would take 3 months but she consumed the latest Anlene Gold (wasn't around when I broke my bone) and it took just a month for the bone to join.
