I visited Daddy today and he showed off by walking around the room, unsupervised. I don't know why, but it made me laugh. He looked so adorable, grinning as he was walking about the room, pleased with himself at his improvement.
I don't know why the doctors think that he can only be discharged on the 24th. Oh well, have to see what Dr Joe Francis has to say.
I'm very thankful at how quick my dad's recovery is. I am thankful for all the support given by my friends, colleagues and even my students. Even though it has been only 36 days thus far, it has been 36 very emotionally challenging days.
Imagine, the doctors were telling us that at best, my dad may only recover 70% of all his functions. He may never speak or move the right side again because the clot damaged the speech function and the mobility of the right side of his body. I look at him now, and he is back to normal.
- Admitted into TTSH ICU on 31st October in the evening.
- Transferred to A-class Ward on 3rd Nov.
- Transferred to B1 Ward on 9th Nov.
- Transferred to AMK Rehab Hospital on 23rd.
Short span, but travelling back and forth, daily, it saps your energy. I want Daddy home, soon.
