A Surprise In KPJ Ipoh Specialist Hospital

My sister has been "cleaning" my mom's wound ever since she has been discharged two months back and she has been doing a good job about it. The "toe hole" is getting smaller even though it is not fully healed yet, a very slow healing process due to diabetes..

At around 10am on Saturday, I received an SOS call from my sister... my mom needed to go to hospital for my sister saw some redness around my mom's wounded feet. This time we are more alert and aware, anything red, we must not procrastinate anymore... Quickly I phoned up my cell leader, I was supposed to go for church practice at 11am for Sunday's service. Which is more urgent.. needless to say, I rushed over to my mom's place and off we went to KPJ known as Ipoh Specialist Centre.. 
While waiting for the doctor.. I played with my iPad..
Took a picture of my mom's beautiful leg..
And ..
Then I heard MUSIC!
For a moment, I thought I was in a pub....
From where I was... on the first floor...
then I looked down...
 
There they were... the musicians...
The female singer was rendering her first song... "I don't want to talk about it"
Her voice reminded me of Tracy Huang... sweet...soothing voice..
This is the biggest hospital in Ipoh, if I am not mistaken...
They even have caddies to shuttle visitors from the car parks to the lobby...
I wouldn't mind sitting here longer to listen to the songs actually... LOL...
Does this look like a hospital if I hadn't say so? :)
It was quite a surprise for me, first time I heard of a live band in a hospital...
I wonder what is the main purpose...
But I sure support it... 
at least the WAIT is not so monotonous....

In conclusion: Doctor said my mom's wound is doing just fine, healing properly, thanks to my sister's cleaning up daily and he told us not to worry about the redness, it is normal to be red around the leg due to the soreness... Thank God it is nothing serious and we went home after spending RM50 for consultation in this posh hospital...

    Praise the Lord. Everything is fine. First time hear hospital got live band. No function going on? If nice sentimental song still acceptable but not the noisy ones that makes the head spinning.

    Nice touch! Music heals the soul, and hopefully will help in the healing of the body too - it's therapeutic.

    Is your mum on antibiotics? I understand that in serious cases, they will inject around the wound till the swelling/redness subsides. Hope it gets well soonest.

    Glad to hear that the doctor says everything is fine. You did the right thing to consult a doctor immediately.

    I wonder whose idea was it to have a live band performing in the hospital.

    I am SO glad your mom is alright!!! Do you know how long it will take to heal completely? This is the happiest hospital I have ever seen!!! I LOVE it. So much sorrow in a hospital, and the music will help, very upbeat and good for the soul! Our hospitals here have a big piano in the lobby, a volunteer plays. Very boring compared to yours!!

    KPJ in Ipoh looks nice!

    A wound like that is no joke, untreated, it can cause blood poisoning and other problems, even a small cut I had got infected and it was red all the way up my arm.

    Good to hear your mom is healing well!

    KPJ Ipoh looks so much better than KPJ Taiping >.<

    It's indeed something 'special', live band in a hospital!

    Take good care of your mum, this type of wound must be treated properly.

Three Hours City Tour At Ensenada, Mexico

A THREE HOURS CITY TOUR when we embarked in Mexico on the second morning.   My sister booked the three hours city tour in Ensenada, Mexico, a van came to pick us up from the port.  Ensenada is the border of Mexico and it reminds me of Hatyai, a border town too between Malaysia and Thailand.  We were taken to a shopping area where we must haggle for the goods.  LOL.. Yes, something common in my own country... Anyway, we did not buy anything for ourselves... just a wooden handmade truck for my grandson which cost $8usd.   Nothing much to shout about on this three hours excursion, I was so sleepy on the way back to the ship that I dozed off and only awaken when we were driven through the town.  All in all, I just wanted to step onto Mexican soil and I would give this a miss if I were to go on this Mexico cruise again.  LOL... At the open area shopping walking towards the Blowhole... This is La Bufadora Blowhole, an amazing natural marine geyser that is capable of shooting water over 60 fe

Exploring The Sea Cruise Royal Caribbean

CRUISING ALONG.... Once we deposited our bags in our cabins, we had our buffet meal at the Hammerjack restaurant and exactly at 4pm, we heard a loud Horn signal...  ITS TIME TO SAIL ALONG THE PACIFIC OCEAN! And while the ship started to sail, we humans started to walk and explore.... to familarize ourselves inside the ship....  Elevators on each side of the ship....  Making my mark....  On another side....  We walked along to check out our food outlets... This Promenade Cafe  had became our regular joint .... We like to sit there enjoying our hot drinks and desserts... Free flow of food day and night.... Passing through the bars to the casino... The casino will open only when the ship is in international waters...  At one of the jackpot machines... I wonder if they are real?? But they are only $1 bundles... Then we went up to the highest floor.... The swimming deck.... Taken against the sun.... Nice sunset in the evening.... The Happy Trio!

First Day In The Royal Caribbean Cruise To Mexico

ROW ROW ROW YOUR BOAT.... gently down the sea....  Royal Caribbean, it is my second time following this giant vessel, the first time was from Singapore to Phuket, that was a very nice cruise.  So when my son mentioned that he found a good deal online, this time to Mexico, I agreed without hesitation.  Let's Go! A three nights stay with food and lodging only cost around $250 per person with at least one senior in per room.  Meals were either buffet style or fine dining, we can choose and cafes were opened 24 hours for us to rest and relax.  How not to resist... LOL...  And so here we are... just one week after landing in US, I was on the sea....  Looks small from afar...  It was a giant vessel with at least 14 floors.... On the way to embarking after Custom Clearance...  Our room for the next three nights....  Small and cosy.... And adjoining to my son's family room through a door...  The one with balcony cost a bit more...  A short briefing about safety after we checked in....
