my dear mom had a fall not too long ago. red, who was with her, witnessed it, and was fairly worried about her limping consequences.
i was fairly concerned too when i saw her last fri nite.
knowing my mom, she will keep all discomfort to herself and not want us to worry about her health. since her physical walking revealed it all, there was nowhere for her to hide.
fancy her still doing marketing, cleaning up the house and taking care of cooking plus looking after 4 kids at home......her superwoman traits are always evident when it comes to being a nanny.
i told her,"let's go see yuguo tcm. u better treat ur legs before u go hk with the kids in dec!'
well, that was one good way to motivate her to take better care of herself.
my mom has always been selfless. she will rattle on and on about all her kids being so bz at work, that she has no time to visit a doc till wkend. so, i offered to take her to tcm on sat, the next day.
well, after the electro-therapy treatment, she was feeling better in walking. but, her 3 days of chinese medication which was supposed to 通筋骨caused her legs to feel 酸疼. she always feels worse when she wakes first thing in the morning.
anyway, i'm due to bring her to yuguo tcm this morn. hpefully, after this 2nd treatment, she will see better progress in walking.
my mom is clearly aging. with so many years of hard work and child-bearing experiences, her whole body is tearing apart. luckily, she has 5 good children (as quoted by her) who always hv her interests at heart, and will be happy to be at her disposal!
所谓，父母对我们的恩情是多少金钱也买不到的，我们要时时刻刻记得对他们好，让他们活得更开心和有意义！

Hopefully she gets well soon. She complaint about the soreness which I told her it was normal. I felt that too after each treatment. It is a sign that the 'qi' is flowing.
ReplyDeletewell, she told me the treatment works. i will bring her for a 3rd session this fri morn.
ReplyDeletesurely, u dun want her to walk snail pace during the trip in hk, rite? truly, i want her to enjoy herself too!
legs are so impt, indeed.
Your title gave me a scare. Thought she fell again.
ReplyDeleteMobility is very important. She cannot afford to fall again at her age. Will be dire if she dislocates her hip or something. Seriously think she should take a backseat from handling the 4 kids. Too hectic for her!
