My grand daughter Siti Nuralisya has been sick for the past one week .Her cough is not receding and at night her body teperature is high .Despite of that she goes to school except for today's 'Agama School' where she is a school prefect . She told us she couldn't go because she was not feeling well . I did not mind becasue I thought I wanted to bring her to the clinic again this afternoon .I brought her to the clinic for the first time last Thursday. At about 4.00 pm I told my wife to get ready to go to the clinic. However she told me that Alisya was getting better and thus not necessary for us to bring her there . I was still not happy with her assumption because Alisya might be okay in the afternoon and could be having fever in the evening . I had a tough time arguing with my wife over this .In the end I had to give in and wait for another day .
I am quite particular about my children and grand children's health , especially Alisya . She is our only grand daughter .She is everything to us . Her welfare is my priority . I hope she would be better by tomorrow .
Tomorrow I would be sending my wife to Kuala Lumpur to see our family doctor for her routine health examination .We are now approaching 60 and I insist that both of us have a regular medical check up . Although it is a bit far away from Klang , we have been comfortable with our family doctor . They know our health history well because they have monitoring our health for some time .
Although my left knee has not fully recovered , I am able to walk without feeling pain any more .However I still could not walk for long distance and for a long time . The x-ray report on my knee showed that I am at an early stage of osteoporasis , the degeneration of the bone .It is a process of ageing and I have to bear with it . Ageing cannot be avoided . To avoid getting worst I have to be very careful not to injure my bone especially my knee . I must also continue taking health supplement. Fortunately , recently my sister in-law in Los Angeles sent me a very good 'joint supplement' -( Kirkland -extra strength Glucosamine HCL 1500 mg/Chondroitin Sulfate 1200 mg manufactured in California ) which is better than the one I took earlier which was manufactured in Dublin .My weight is also one of the reasons for my bone problem .According to my doctor I must reduce my weight . I am now more determined to do so.
