My appointment was not until 10am, but I went out as early as everyone else.
Suami dropped me off at Klinik Perubatan entrance & I went up to register myself to see Prof KJG.
After settling that, I called Saadah & informed her that we could have breakfast if she could afford the time. She was already out of her house & driving in to work. Her 1st meeting would only be at 10am & she was not chairing it :p
Unfortunately, there was a big jam & she couldn't arrive so quickly.
When she stopped to pick me up at UMMC entrance, I had this sneaky feeling that she was avoiding to 'face reality' under the pretense of attending to a call.
I could imagine her feelings... I've always been THE big sister in our friendship which started off in Bidwell Place, Chico, California, USA (1979).
Anyway, I just let it be rather than be my normal 'confrontational self'.
We chose Amcorp over Jaya One. Only SB was opened & I knew Saadah needed her coffee morning fix. She gave this round about excuse why it's OK to have our breakfast at SB...
By the time we're ordering stuff, she was already laughing; entertained by how I pulled right corner end of my mouth to pronounce certain words.
I made her pay, "I'm the sick one... you've to belanja :p"
So, we went through what had happened to me & told her about people I had bumped into when I was at UMMC the day before.
Her mental state of mind this morning: even blamed Siti Aisyah's fell on stress caused by 'Nuno'.
Ha.. Ha... Ha... of course, next we talked about stress at work & how her health was affected.
Actually, that was the main reason I conned her to see me... so that we discuss HER health status.
I wanted to open doors / alternatives for her & Alhamdulillah, mission accomplished!
She dropped me back at UMMC & told her to send her my salam to Kamila & MR who would both be at the meeting.
I went up again to level 1 of Neuromedical.
Of course, my number was already flashed. So, I just waited some more after telling the ladies at the counter of my presence.
Prof KJG looked through my file & confirmed that it was not a stroke. THAT actually took off a lot of burden from me. He also increased dosage of the prednisolone I had to take, 10 x 5mg daily (rather than 6 x 5mg daily). Of course, I brought up issues on alternative approaches. He also asked about Tok Mak.
Gave me mc till Friday & told me to rest because he thought I should be feeling uncomfortable talking, etc.
It's true, the more I talked... the more herot my face would be & at times the inner part of my cheek get stuck in between my top-bottom teeth. Adoi!
Went to Neurolab at 5th floor to make appointment. Previously, I had come to this place to check on my Carpal Tunnel syndrome. Then of course a couple of times with Tok Mak, accompanied by Kak Ijah & even Naufal (we made him push Tok Mak's wheel chair then). For both, Tok Mak's & now mine, these visits would be to check extend of damage !
