Mak's Unfortunate Incident

Sometimes during May, my mom complained about standing up. She found it difficult. At first, my dad and I thought that it wasn't serious. So, we were planning on bringing her to a clinic. But when we tried to hep her move, she screamed, saying it hurts a lot. Finally, we made a decision to call for ambulance. So, she was brought to the emergency unit. My dad and I waited outside. A couple of hours later, we received the news that my mom actually broke her hip bone (I think). She felt down the stairs.

So, she was warded and need to undergo a surgery. The surgery was maybe 2 - 3 days later. The operation was a success and my mom was brought to Putrajaya once she was discharged maybe two weeks later. So, my mom was staying at Kak Ala's house. My siblings took turn caring for her. By caring means, changing her nappies, doing exercises, having conversations and so on. Actually, after the operation, my mom could already walk but she was afraid to. So, we all encouraged her.

Fast forward to today, alhamdulillah... My mom could walk with the help of a cane. Before cane, she used walking frame. Honestly, during this period (my mom's unwell period) is quite stressful to me and my family. Thank you Allah for giving us the opportunity to handle this situation greatly.
