Sprains and Bad Thing To Say to an Injured Person July 6, 2009

i have been getting pretty bad sprains and yes, that’s my sprained wrist. it happened last saturday, when we got home quite late at night and the little girl was crying like mad. asking for her overdue dose of milk. so once we stepped into the house, i landed her on the mattress while i got changed and Hubby prepared her late late late dinner. the drama started when Hubby passed her milk bottle to me.

i scooped her up to place her on my lap…waaaaaayyyyyy too hard on my hand. i felt sharp pain on my right wrist and top of hand. i grit my teeth, almost screaming but i managed to control myself and fed the super hungry baby. i went to sleep without applying anything onto my hand because…(now this is humiliating) i thought i was a pain-proof idiot and would get all-okay the next morning. and really, i didn’t feel the pain when i woke up in the morning.

something put my pain-proof thinking to an end. Fateha woke up and i went into her room to carry her. the wrist sort of snapped again. OUCH!!!! i went outside and sheepishly got Hubby to massage my hand. it felt better for a while but each time i moved my hand too much i could feel the tinge of pain. *sigh* luckily i had my multi-purpose guard. i put it on every few hours.

and to make things worst, someone just had to scold me for spraining my blardy, own hand. no no, it’s not my husband. just someone i can’t even mention. she thought that i can’t even handle a year old toddler and by the time Fateha would turn 4 or 5, i’d be breaking all my bones. that’s just so horrible to say to me, an injured mother.

i didn’t care how elderly she was. i snapped back at her. accidents happen and if i can tell what sort of accidents i would get in the future, i’d be so sure that i get myself well prevented. she was SO irritating!!!

Blast from the Past June 24, 2009

at this time, she was responding to me when i talked and carressed her. can you see her upclose mitten? she was trying to touch me though this was one of the dark moments of our life, i missed it sometimes.

Sunday And Watermelon Craze June 22, 2009

as usual, on sundays, we’d be at my grandma’s. this little pixie got everyone’s attention, of course, grabbing her and getting her to walk, which she couldn’t. i thought i’d just let them do what they wanted, it’s not as if they got to meet her everyday. but the fact that they seemed to be ignorant of what my abilities were in handling my preemie daughter, pissed me even more!

anyway, hubby gave her a triangular piece of watermelon, pricked on tiny little picks. i was VERY worried that she might get pricked but hubby seemed cool about it. i watched her every move and every bite she took, making sure that she was okay. and so she was okay!

she did a good job in not pricking her own tongue or lips. *phew* she even gave a very cheeky smile, teasing everyone around her, who got worried. i think my baby girl has grown up. she’s a big girl now and she seemed to know what she can or cannot do.

you go girl!

Yet Another Check up June 18, 2009

Fateha had 3 appointments yesterday: orthopaedic check up, physiotherapy and developmental check up. of all 3, i hated the first one. why? Fateha was under the Hand Doctors Team 1 and there’s this professor whom we were not happy with. although Fateha’s under his care but he seldom see her. he would change every appointment made and when it was time to see him, he wouldn’t be there. but he was around yesterday and he was not happy. he demanded me (how dare!) to send Fateha to early intervention programme to improve her Erb’s hand. he also ordered me to get an X-Ray of her hand. we did that but we had to rush because we were late for the therapy!

so during the physiotherapy, i nagged and nagged about the prof to the therapist. he said it did not come as a surprise. he got that a lot from other parents. sheesh! anyway, Mr Fauzan said good things about Fateha. she has every skill in her but she’s not using it. so we HAVE to push her around. will do just that!

even her paediatrician was happy to see her. he noticed that she’s different now than 3 months ago, she even responded to him when he asked her stuffs. LOL. like she understood! he did a lot of things to her and she seemed to be taking them well. she even did a supported stand against a chair without me trying to hold her, for like 10 seconds. i think she’s showing off but that’s good!!! she had her last 6 in 1 vaccine too and she didn’t cry. what a big girl!!!

anyway, i’ve uploaded a video of her practicing her sitting. enjoy!
